Summary

The commission approved a storefront sign at 81 N. Saginaw and five replacement windows at a private dwelling, and concluded routine business, including rules and procedures updates and adjournment.

A group of shorter items and routine actions were adopted during the meeting.

• 81 North Saginaw (HTC 25‑005): Staff recommended a new 44.8‑square‑foot sign face within an existing sign band and two staff conditions, including a certificate of occupancy before installation. Applicant David Parker confirmed occupancy; the commission approved the certificate of appropriateness with the staff conditions.

• 269 Cherokee (HTC 26‑003): Homeowner Andrew Halim and contractor Paul McDevitt requested replacement of five remaining windows with the vinyl slider/picture/sliders already installed on the front of the house in 2020 to match existing fenestration. Staff and the contractor noted the frames and components are repairable but water infiltration and seized hardware in basement windows created practical issues. The commission approved replacement of the five windows matching the previously approved vinyl windows and trim.

• Procedures and adjournment: The commission reviewed revised rules and procedures (changes marked in the packet) and approved them. The meeting recessed briefly and then adjourned at the end of the agenda.
