table any action or approve/disapprove with approval subject to DA T recommendations.
Dan Olson informed EDA members of his plans to rehab the chimney, install new
windows on second floor, replace the roof and outside trim, and make improvements to
the landscaping. He reported he is able to secure a craftsmen to rehab the chimney of the
residential structure which houses State Farm Insurance on the first floor and an apartment
on the second. EDA members felt and agreed the character of the chimney adds charm to
the residential structure which differentiates it from a commercial structure. Additionally,
they agreed window replacement qualified; however, felt roof repair was not facade
improvement. The landscaping and outside trim would be done at a later time.
