What's on this agenda

The Historic District Commission has a full slate of nine Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) cases at this meeting, covering everything from window and roof repairs to two full house demolitions and new construction. Old business carries over one house-construction case from a prior meeting plus four new applications; new business adds four more, including a driveway addition, a full teardown-and-rebuild on Lydia Lane, another teardown-and-rebuild on N. Wake Street, and an after-the-fact approval for a window replacement already completed on Calvin Street.

The commission will also elect a vice chair and adopt its 2026 meeting schedule. The packet includes minutes from the commission's October 1 and November 5 meetings for reference, but those cover past business, not this meeting's agenda.
