What's on this agenda

The Historic District Commission took up two certificate of appropriateness applications and continued both to its October 1 meeting. One covers a new house proposed for 311 W. Orange St.; the other covers a west-facing addition to an existing courtyard at 208 S. Cameron St.

For the Orange Street house, members raised concerns about a prominent garage they called incongruous with the district's other homes, and about a driveway running straight into it. For the Cameron Street addition, discussion centered on screening for new HVAC units and two boarded-up gabled windows that will stay in their current condition. Both applicants agreed to keep working with the commission before the next meeting.
