The Augusta Historic Preservation Commission approved multiple certificates of appropriateness and related items at its Nov. 20 meeting.

Key outcomes:

• COA25‑62 (902 Broad St, Emile's): Staff recommended the downtown‑style vintage marquee sign; the commission approved the sign as presented (vote 7–0).

• COA25‑64 (344 Telfair St, Old Town): The property owner initially proposed architectural shingles but submitted a revised application for a standing‑seam metal roof; staff and commissioners confirmed product specifications (16‑inch panels, 1‑inch seams) and the commission approved the amended metal‑roof application (vote 7–0).

• COA25‑66 (2102 Central Ave, Somerville health clinic): A rear addition of roughly 1,470 square feet constructed of matching brick/stucco materials was presented by the architect; staff recommended approval and the commission voted to approve the addition (vote recorded as unanimous among present members; later reported as six in favor, one opposed).

• Minutes: The commission approved minutes from the prior meeting (final tally reported as six in favor, one abstention).

Each approved COA was accompanied by staff findings that the proposed work met applicable design guidelines and zoning checks where required. Several applications were noted as staff‑approved earlier in the month; staff circulated a list of those administrative approvals. For items requiring further information (for example, window replacements at 1218 Winter St), the commission either deferred action or requested additional documentation.
