Historic Zoning Commission approves February minutes and three COAs for downtown storefronts and signs
Summary
At its meeting, the McMinnville Historic Zoning Commission approved the February meeting minutes and granted Certificates of Appropriateness for an under-awning sign at 124 East Main Street, a storefront restoration at 213 East Main Street, and a hanging sign at 112 East Main Street; votes were taken by voice and the record shows one abstention.
The McMinnville Historic Zoning Commission approved the February meeting minutes and three Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) during its recent meeting.
The chair, Michael Griffith, called the meeting to order and asked for approval of the February minutes. The minutes were approved by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The commission then considered a COA for an under-awning sign for 124 East Main Street submitted by Leanne Cordell of Edward Jones Downtown. Cordell said the business “recently received a grant for the awning” and requested approval for a two-sided metal sign to hang beneath the awning. The commission approved the COA by voice vote; the transcript records only the motion, a second, and the chair announcing “motion carries.”
A second COA, for a storefront at 213 East Main Street, was presented by Michelle (identified in the record by her first name). Michelle described plans to restore the façade closer to its historic appearance, splitting an existing 3,500-square-foot space into two storefronts, keeping brick and awning, and installing recessed storefront windows and dark bronze aluminum doors. The record notes that Commissioner Raven abstained from the vote; the motion carried by voice vote.
Finally, the commission approved a COA for a 14-by-8-inch hanging sign for 112 East Main Street. Heather (staff) confirmed the sign size and that the new awning met the head-height requirement. The motion passed by voice vote.
All actions recorded in the meeting transcript were approved by voice vote; the transcript does not report numerical tallies or named yea/nay votes for the motions.
