Motion carried unanimously; recommendation forwarded to City Council.
- Consent agenda (items B2, B3, B5, B9): Staff read items and recommended approval; commissioners approved the consent items together per staff recommendation.
- Item B4 — 3412 Audubon (new single‑family residence): Staff recommended approval; public commenters included the builder and the owner; a motion to approve staff recommendation carried (one commissioner abstained).
- Items B6 & B7 — 832 West Millwood (North Hill): Staff recommended approval of both items. The commission approved B6 (the two‑story rear addition). B7 (garage alterations) initially failed; a subsequent conditional motion to approve B7 passed — the condition requires the applicant to lower the garage roof line by one foot (from 23.10 ft to 22.10 ft) prior to permit issuance.
- Item B10 — 2310 Decatur (Old 6 Ward): Staff recommended denial of an internally illuminated wall sign and issuance of a COR allowing the sign only if not internally illuminated; the applicant described the installed sign as having only illuminated letters. The commission voted to approve the COA as presented (sign as installed).
