Commission tables most items for 1115 Jackson Street; approves rear steps and glass repairs
Summary
MS REIT LLC's multi‑part application for 1115 Jackson Street saw multiple subitems tabled for more detail; the commission conditionally approved rear steps pending building‑code acceptance and approved replacement of broken window glass.
Orlando Burks, manager for MS REIT LLC, presented a range of proposed repairs and replacements at 1115 Jackson Street: porch alterations (columns, railings), rear steps, siding repairs, repainting, gutter repair/installation, glass repair, and roofing questions. Commissioners reviewed photographic evidence and neighborhood precedents and repeatedly requested specification sheets, close‑up photos, and material samples.
For the front porch and proposed new railings/columns, commissioners said the submitted mockups did not demonstrate appropriate scale or historic detail. They recommended the applicant return with scale drawings, spindles/balluster detail, and column profiles; the commission tabled that subitem. The board approved the rear steps with the condition the work meet building‑code landing and handrail requirements and verified with the inspections department. Commissioners also approved replacing broken window glass where frames remain, and they tabled siding, painting, gutters and roofing items pending more information and material samples.
The commission emphasized the difference between administrative approvals (staff can process some items administratively) and items that require the full board’s review and documentation. Staff told the applicant to submit materials and photos before the next meeting; several items will be reconsidered when that information is provided.
