Public Hearing: Variance 88-15 , 52 N. Swinton Avenue, Diane DeMarco, Owner. The notice was published in the News on March 5 , 1990 and the 300 ' radius letter was mailed on March 2 , 1990 . There has been no public response. Stan Weedon is preparing a separate staff report for your information. 3 . Public Hearing: Variance 88-16 , 247 Royal Court, Hugh Ryan, Owner. Side interior setbacks in the RM-10 Zoning District are 15 ' and the rear setback is 25 ' . In order to allow the construction of a new garage ( the original garage was demolished before Mr Ryan purchased the property) the owner is requesting a 5 ' setback on both side and rear of the property. The new garage will be constructed on the foundation of the original garage which was constructed along with the house in 1925. The Notice was published in the News on March 5 , 1990 and the 300 ' radius letters were mailed on March 2 , 1990 . There has been no public comment to date, either by letter or phone. 4 . Public Hearing: Designation 19 Andrews Avenue to Local Register of Historic Places, Patricia Healy, Owner. The Public Hearing notice was published in the News on March 5 , 1990 and the 300 ' radius letters were mailed on March 2 , 1990 . I have received one phone call in response to the letter, from Charles Haridman, and he was in favor of the designation. 5 . COA 8-100 247 Royal Court, Hugh Ryan, Owner. Construction of garage. Demolition of tool shed. 1, 191 The garage has been designed by Charles Toth, Architect. The building will be 26 ' X 14 ' and located on the site of original garage. The exterior finish will be stucco with a rolling overhead garage door. The roof line profile will be raised at the corners to match the roof of the residence. Garage will be painted same color as the house. The applicant will repair the original cement ribbon strip driveway. Mr. Ryan requests permission to demolish a tool shed in the back yard. The shed has no historical significance and the removal of the structure will enhance the rear yard. 6 . COA 8-102 24 West Atlantic Avenue, Mark Little, Bright Image Signs, Authorized Agent. Sign for Little Tiger Check Cashing Co. This request is for a 8 ' x 4 ' internally illuminated metal store front cabinet sign with plexiglass face. It is to be mounted on the roof over the entrance to the business. The background will be white with bright orange and black copy and logo which is a cartoon type tiger. While this meets the City' s sign permit requirements it is questionable whether it is appropriate for the OSSHD. The building, on which the sign is to be installed, is approximately 40 ' x 20 ' , a rectangular CBS structure with a gable roof probably built in the 1970 ' s. It has no architectural features, decorative or structural, so the sign will assume even greater focus. With the entrance to the OSQ Cultural Arts center only one half a block away, and the block itself in visual disrepair, approval of this • sign should be very carefully considered. 7. Discussion of Old School Square Historic Arts District. Please bring your copy of the proposal draft and Stan Weedon' s comments to the meeting. 8.

Upon motion by Rose Sloan, second by David Nathanson, the Board reaffirmed its ' earlier action to prohibit duplexes from the OSSHAD.

Mr. Gene Fisher speaking as a private citizen (not as a representative of Old School Square) asked the Board to reconsider some of the General Commercial Zone uses which would no longer be allowed in the two blocks south of Atlantic Avenue and also in the balance of the OSSHAD.

The agenda for March 16, 1990 is sufficiently specific to describe the various items that will become before the Historic Preservation Board for action. In an effort to make sure the agendas are prepared properly, it is necessary to also include, pursuant to state. statute, the following notice on all agendas: Please be advised that if a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Historic Preservation Board . with respect to any matter considered at this meeting or hearing, such persons will need a record of these pro- ceedings, and for this purpose such persons may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes the. testimony and evidence upon which the- appeal is to be. based. The City does. not provide or prepare such record. With the addition of this. language, it is my opinion that the agendas are sufficiently clear to provide. appropriate notice and to conform and comport with state statute requirements. 41Ira/ SA ` '4
