Applications-Appearances
18 East Main Street – Susan Finque represented Peter Dast, the owner of the building. She provided photos and drawings of the proposed door that would be installed this year in the east side of the building to give Real Coffee an alternate entrance and access to the green space on that side of the building. She also presented photos of step two, the construction of a small porch and steps leading from the level of the door, 4 feet to the ground. Wessels voiced his desire for more information on the porch materials when that is brought before the Commission. Ahner asked if there were any plans to paint the bare concrete wall and Finque said she often thought a mural painted or designed by a community artist would be appropriate. She asked the Commission to think about sponsoring such a project. Motion by Wessels to approve the installation of the proposed door in the east side of the building. Second by Culbertson. Motion carried.
