Historic review board recommends approval for Nibbles Corner vinyl window decals at 459 Cherry Street
Summary
The Columbia Borough Historic Architectural Review Board recommended that borough council approve removable vinyl window decals for Nibbles Corner at 459 Cherry Street after the owner presented photos, measurements and an installer quote; the board found the decals reversible and not harmful to the building.
Kurt Edmond, owner of the proposed property at 459 Cherry Street known as Nibbles Corner, presented a signage application and supporting materials at the Historic Architectural Review Board meeting on Jan. 14, 2026. "My name is Kurt Edmond, and I am the owner of the proposed property at 459 Cherry Street known as Nibbles Corner," Edmond said, and confirmed he had submitted photos, measurements and an installer quote.
Board members asked whether the proposed graphics were vinyl applied to the glass and whether they would be removable; Edmond confirmed they were vinyl decals to be applied directly to storefront glass. Several members said the decals appeared modest and reversible. One member said, "It's nothing that's gonna impact have any negative permanent materials of the building," summarizing the board's view on permanence and visibility.
Vice Chair Peter Kaye moved that the board recommend approval to borough council; the board voted by voice in favor. The board's action was a recommendation to the borough council — the council will take the final, formal vote on the certificate of appropriateness at a subsequent council meeting, and Edmond was told to attend that meeting as well.
The board's recommendation does not authorize work to begin; Edmond was advised that a permit and final council action are required before installation.
