Historic Preservation Commission approves paint color for 101 Third Street
Summary
The Historic Preservation Commission approved owner Linda Schacht's request to allow painting at 101 Third Street in a shade described in the record as "slow green" after the owner said the contractor had not pulled a permit.
The Historic Preservation Commission voted to approve exterior painting at 101 Third Street after the property owner, Linda Schacht, told the commission the work had already been done by a contractor who did not pull a permit. The commission recorded a roll-call vote with all present members voting in favor.
Schacht told the commission she had been hiring contractors and planned to pull necessary permits but discovered the painter had not applied for one. "I just wanna make sure that I wasn't gonna spend any money," she said, explaining she contacted the painter once she realized a permit had not been obtained. She said she had compared similar "greens" in the neighborhood and believed the chosen shade was close to the commission's approved palette.
Commission members who spoke about the case said the color was not objectionable for the house's location and that similar tones appeared elsewhere on nearby Fourth Street and Franklin. Larry Wheaton moved to approve the painting; Steve Monahan seconded. On roll call the commission recorded votes as: Morton — yes; Monahan — yes; White — yes; Weenan — yes; Carol — yes; Boyle — yes. The motion carried.
Commission discussion on the record focused on the exterior color only; members clarified the vote approved the color for the case (25 HPC 21) rather than authorizing unrelated changes such as fences. Commissioners noted staff would record the approval in the case file. The transcript does not show any formal penalties or permit enforcement actions discussed during the vote.
