Board accepts revised roll‑up door design for Tarpon Registry storefront
Summary
The Heritage Preservation Board reviewed an alternative roll‑up door design for the Tarpon Registry at 144 East Tarpon Avenue and approved a segmented aluminum roll‑up door with opaque back‑painted glass panels and a fixed transom after the applicant returned with revised renderings.
The board considered a follow‑up to an earlier conditional approval for the Tarpon Registry project at 144 East Tarpon Avenue. Staff said the July approval required the applicant to present an alternative to a roll‑up door on the Court Street façade; the applicant returned with a segmented aluminum roll‑up door that includes opaque, back‑painted glass panels and a separate, fixed transom window.
Applicant representative Joe Harrington described the revised elevation and details: “Yeah. It's a 5 by 3. 5, 5 lights tall, 3 wide with the transom,” and said the transom would be a separate fixed window while the roll‑up would operate below. He also noted a small historic‑interpretive display in the breezeway and confirmed the face block feature had been incorporated in the plans.
Board members said the revised design fits better with the Court Street storefront rhythm and moved to approve the alternative as presented; the board adopted staff conditions that accompanied the earlier certificate of appropriateness.
The action resolves the specific façade concern raised in the earlier conditional approval and keeps the project moving toward permitting.
