The Historic Preservation and Landmark Board of Review unanimously approved a certificate of appropriateness for multiple exterior projects at 641 NE 15th Street in the Capitol-Lincoln Terrace Historic District during its Feb. 5 meeting.
Staff planner Casey Jones introduced revised plans submitted by applicant Meredith Shaevitz of Pitch Perfect Construction on behalf of owner Norman Tejeda. The board voted to approve six work items in discrete votes and a combined motion for three site items.
The board approved replacement of the concrete porch floor and steps in the same size and configuration, replacement of two corner wood columns matching the existing size and material, and replacement of the gable with smooth exterior‑grade plywood to match existing details (motion by Janis Powers; second by Carla Splaingard). The panel also approved a new awning above an existing west‑elevation entry door (motion by Carla Splaingard; second by Janis Powers).
A 24' x 32' one‑story detached garage with two south‑facing vehicular doors was approved separately (motion by Janis Powers; second by Carla Splaingard). The board approved a combined motion covering a 12' x 15' rear concrete patio, replacement of the concrete driveway per the site plan dimensions, and a concrete walkway between the rear entry and the garage (motion by Janis Powers; second by Stephanie Barbour‑Cooper).
All motions passed by unanimous recorded vote: Ms. McCalmont, yes; Ms. Powers, yes; Ms. Splaingard, yes; Ms. Barbour‑Cooper, yes; Ms. Stone, yes.
The approvals specify that replacement materials and details must match or be compatible with existing historic features as recorded in the application packet; staff presented the revised plans and the board recorded the motions and votes on the public record. The board did not state any additional conditions beyond the motions recorded at the meeting.
The board took no further action on other items and proceeded to the next application on the agenda.
