Commission tells applicant to renew COA for modified Center School entrance; installation delayed until summer
Summary
An applicant (Tanya) updated the commission on a revised Center School entrance door; commissioners concluded the existing certificate had expired and asked for a renewal application and details of the design changes before permitting installation, which the applicant said will occur at the end of June.
An applicant identified in the meeting as Tanya updated the commission on a revised Center School entrance door and asked whether a new certificate of appropriateness (COA) was required.
Commission members confirmed that the prior COA had expired and that a renewal or a new COA would be necessary if the change differs materially from what was previously approved. Tanya said the installer would delay work until school is out and expected installation at the end of June. Commissioners asked for drawings showing the changes (side lights/transom details and the use of some solid panels) and for the applicant to file the COA application promptly so the commission could advertise any required public hearing.
Chair and staff said that if the design changes exceeded what the commission originally approved last year, statute requires a public hearing for a new COA; the chair asked the applicant to submit the application that week to permit a possible hearing at an upcoming special meeting. Applicant agreed to supply shop drawings and clarified that the proposed door will fit the existing opening and preserve existing exterior trim.
No formal vote was taken; the commission directed staff to accept a renewal application and schedule any public hearing required by statute.
