Historic Lancaster Commission approves two storefront applications, tables one
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting, the Historic Lancaster Commission approved a window replacement at 150 E. Main St. and awning signage at 115 W. Wheeling St., recorded an administrative approval for a window cling, and tabled two other applications pending more information.
The Historic Lancaster Commission voted at its Oct. 15, 2025 meeting at Lancaster City Hall to approve a window replacement at 150 E. Main St. and awning signage at 115 W. Wheeling St., and to table at least one application pending more contractor information. The meeting began at 2:00 p.m. and adjourned at 2:08 p.m.
The approval for CA-00557 (150 E. Main St.), submitted by Charlie Mansfield for Art and Clay, covered replacement of third-floor windows. Mansfield said the third-floor windows need to be replaced and that the new units "would be four over four, wood with aluminum clad," adding he would replace only the front windows after clarification from Chair Bryan Everitt. Commissioner Jason Annecy moved to approve the application as submitted; Commissioner Debi Stemble seconded the motion and the commission granted it unanimously.
The commission also considered CA-00558 (214/216 S. Columbus St.). The applicant was not present. Chair Bryan Everitt said he had spoken with the owner and that the owner requested the application be tabled until contractor information is available; the commission tabled CA-00558.
For CA-00560 (115 W. Wheeling St.), applicant James Linehan requested permission to add his law firm's name and logo in white lettering to an existing first-floor awning. Commissioner Debi Stemble moved to approve the application as submitted; Commissioner Matt Brady seconded the motion and the commission approved it unanimously.
Staff recorded an administrative approval for CA-00559 (111 S. Columbus St.), a white vinyl window cling for the new business Norris Flowers. On old business, the commission noted CA-00552 (955 Lincoln Ave.) remains tabled until the applicant provides exterior drawings.
The commission approved the minutes from its Sept. 17, 2025 meeting at the start of the session (motion by Debi Stemble, second by Jason Annecy). The next regular meeting is scheduled for Nov. 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in City Hall, 104 E. Main St. Minutes were submitted by staff member Shannon Seesholtz.
Note on attendance: roll call recorded Jason Annecy, Bryan Everitt and Debi Stemble as present and listed Joyce Harvey and Matt Brady as not present. The transcript shows Matt Brady later seconded the motion on CA-00560, indicating he joined the meeting after roll call. The record in these minutes does not list individual roll-call votes; where the minutes report a motion "carried unanimously," the transcript does not provide a per-member roll-call tally.
