What's on this agenda

An accessible-lift addition at 204 Glenburnie Street returns to Chapel Hill's Historic District Commission on Tuesday, 13 October, after the commission continued the hearing on 8 September. The owner's architect, Shaan Hassan, also proposes replacing the rear deck with a new deck and patio in the Franklin-Rosemary Historic District.

Three certificates are on consent: a new dwelling and a moved carriage house at 21 Cobb Terrace, a metal fence at University Baptist Church, and a second-story addition at the Delta Kappa Epsilon house on South Columbia Street. Staff will report on two federal Section 106 reviews, of invasive plant control in Jordan Lake and of NCDOT intersection work on Franklin Street that now reaches Henderson Street. The commission also holds legal training and elects officers.
