Plan Commission conditionally approves Garrett & Kate residence addition; commission votes 7–0
Summary
Commissioners conditionally approved an addition and in‑law suite at 855 West Main, requiring coordination with the design-review committee to match brick and mortar; a motion to approve with those conditions passed unanimously, 7–0.
The Danville Plan Commission approved design-review recommendations for a residential addition at 855 West Main (referred to as the Garrett & Kate property), conditioning final approval on coordination with the design-review committee to match the 1926 home's brick.
Kelly Davis (S6) represented the applicants, saying the project aims to match the historic home’s brick and that the team was “working very diligently” to source matching brick. Commission discussion noted difficulties finding exact matches for older brick and suggested salvaging brick from an on-site garage to help blend new and existing materials.
A motion to accept the design-review committee’s recommendations, conditioned upon an agreement between the property owners and the design-review committee on brick and mortar, was moved, seconded and approved on a roll-call vote recorded in the transcript as unanimous: Potter, Rembert, Harvey, Thompson, Howard and Chatham each recorded “Aye.” The chair announced “Motion carries 7 0.”
Why it matters: the condition preserves the historic character of a home built in 1926 and ensures design continuity in a built historic area.
What’s next: staff and the applicants will follow up to finalize brick samples and any administrative approvals required to implement the conditioned approval.
