Historic district commission approves $5,034.30 tax credit for 160 West Main
Summary
The Historic District Commission approved a post‑construction historic rehabilitation property tax credit of $5,034.30 for 160 West Main (TC23.02) and forwarded the certificate of eligibility to the City of Westminster Finance Department.
The Historic District Commission approved a post‑construction historic rehabilitation property tax credit for 160 West Main (TC23.02), accepting staff findings that the work completed matched the commission's preliminary approval and forwarding a certificate of eligibility to the City of Westminster Department of Finance.
Staff member Melissa Thorne told the commission that the applicant, Tim Kyle of West Main Street Westminster LLC, submitted a post‑construction application on Feb. 25, 2025 for the same amount previously preliminarily approved: $5,034.30. Staff reported the eligible work was completed within 24 months of preliminary approval and that contractor estimates and paid invoices (Roofright; estimates from David Penn and Sam Mohler) and photographs were in the packet.
Commission discussion was brief and uniformly positive. A commissioner moved to approve the post‑construction application upon finding that the completed work was eligible and in accordance with the preliminary certificate of eligibility and that the requested amount was acceptable; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor. The commission directed staff to forward the historic tax credit certificate of eligibility for TC23.02 to the City of Westminster Department of Finance for processing.
No board member recorded a dissenting vote on the record. The motion as read on the floor named the approving action and the amount ($5,034.30); the commission's vote was announced as in favor and the certificate was to be forwarded to finance for issuance and any reimbursement follow‑up after taxes are paid.
Staff noted next steps: after the applicant pays the related taxes, the city will process a reimbursement check subject to available budget and county approvals; staff said the county had already indicated approval at the county level for the reimbursement process.
The commission also encouraged the applicant to submit any additional documentation (historical photos or documentation filed locally) to supplement the record.
Ending: The commission approved TC23.02 and forwarded the certificate to the finance department; staff will follow up on reimbursement timing once taxes are paid.
