Commission tables pergola request for 121 West Columbus Street until applicant provides design details
Summary
The Commission tabled a Certificate of Appropriateness for a 16'x16' pergola at 121 West Columbus Street because the applicant was not present and submitted plans lacked sufficient detail; commissioners asked for alternative materials and more design information.
A Certificate of Appropriateness for a 16'x16' pergola at 121 West Columbus Street (applicant Michael Talbot) was tabled at the May 26 Landmarks Commission meeting because the applicant did not attend and the submitted materials were limited.
Staff confirmed the proposed pergola would be visible from Franklin Street but could not clarify the exact configuration from the verbal description provided. Commissioner Patrick Lynch asked for additional design details and suggested the applicant consider materials beyond pressure-treated lumber; the Commission discussed durability and appropriate materials for long-term appearance.
Patrick Lynch moved to table the application to the next meeting to allow the applicant to attend and provide additional details; Whit Wardell seconded. The motion carried 5–0 with two abstentions (David Craycraft and Carol DeGrosso).
