AGENDA
1. Chairman’s
Report: Ms. Hockett welcomed everyone to the meeting. No
meetings will be held in July.
2. Director’s
Report: Dr. Morrill announced that Johnson C. Smith University has
applied for a Certificate of Appropriateness to demolish the Dr. George
E. Davis House. This will be considered by the Committee at its August
meeting.
3. Consideration
of Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Dr. J. J.
Rone House (Marvin Road).
The J. J. Rone house
was moved to its present location under a previous Certificate of
Appropriateness. The current proposed project involves additions
to the house.
Note: Because no
quorum was present, the Committee's recommendations will be voted on at
the August 8, 2005 HLC meeting.
The Committee unanimously reached a
consensus that a motion be approved by the Historic Landmarks Commission
at its August meeting that a Certificate of Appropriateness be issued
for the proposed alterations of the Dr. J. J. Rone House, Marvin Road.
4. Consideration
of Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Charlotte
Cotton Mills, Building A (West Fifth St.)
"The floor will need
to be patched, repaired and sealed. Portions of the floor will be
covered by new flooring on top of the existing. A wood wainscot
stained dark brown would be added to the new walls upstairs and the
retaining walls downstairs up to five feet. On the main floor,
millwork built in front of the existing windows will be constructed in a
way to not obstruct a majority of the windows. This will be
accomplished by attaching bands to the backs of the booths instead of
solid fabric backs. This will allow most of the windows to be
exposed. The present opening in the floor will be retained and new
stairs will be built. No deck material, beams, or columns will be
removed. The kitchen is planned for a Type 1 grease hood.
All venting penetrations will go through the main floor and up through
the roof, near the new roof top units. The columns in the lower
level will be encased in new woodwork. Exposed concrete will be
stained. The roof deck is set back so that it should not be easily
visible from the street. The dimensions of the deck will be
approximately 24'6" X 30'0". The deck itself will sit atop the
existing roof structure so that it can be removed in the future, if that
is desired. The "dog house" is made of glass, supported by columns
similar in appearance to the ones at the outside of the building
entrance. The fence that will block most of the unsightly
mechanical and venting systems will be louvered to hide the units, but
allow them to continue to circulate air as required."
The Committee unanimously reached a
consensus that a motion be approved by the Historic Landmarks Commission
at its August meeting that a Certificate of Appropriateness be issued
for the proposed alterations of the Charlotte Cotton Mills, 508 W. 5th
Street.
5. Consideration
of an Express Review of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
Philip Carey Building - the Dixie Tavern (301 East
Seventh St.)
"The applicant
proposes to expand the present brick patio, and cover all or some of it
with a one-story roof or deck."
It was the consensus of the Committee
that a patio covered by a shed roof be allowed on the southern half of
the east elevation but that the patio wall extend no farther than within
5 feet of the northern end of the façade.
6. Old
Business. There was no old business.
7. New
Business. There was no new business.
The meeting
adjourned at 9:15 a.m.
