A meeting of the Board of Architectural Review (BOAR) was held on Monday, August 7, 2007 at 5:00 pm in the 2nd Floor Courtroom of the Woodford County Courthouse with the following items being discussed:

 

General Business

 

1.                  Chairman Jackson Watts called the meeting to order.

a)                 There were no minutes for review.

b)                 The application #08-014-2007 for Spectrum Homes has been withdrawn from this months meeting agenda.

Application BOAR #08-013-2007 for Certificate of Appropriateness

2.                  The applicant is Jonathan “Finn” Green doing business as A Mile And A Quarter, LLC at 107 West Main Street in Midway. The applicant was represented by himself. The applicant is requesting approval to construct a new office/residential building.

Discussion of Application

3.                  The following is the applicants introduction of the application:

a)                 The applicant has spoken with Pattie Wilson and also has a letter of recommendation from Arborist Dave Leonard.

b)                 Dave Leonard’s assistant Stacey visited the site and the proposed footprint of the building will cover an existing silver maple on the site. They will comply with the recommendation to replace the silver maple elsewhere on the site.

c)                 The retaining wall and existing sidewalk will remain and be repaired. Both will stay at their current elevations.

d)                 The foundation stones have been removed and stored at the back of the site for reuse.

e)                 An engineer will determine the best way to get storm water off the site.

f)                   The first floor tenants will have handicap access by the existing ramps in front of the old City Hall building. The second floor will be occupied by Mr. Green.

g)                 The overall building height will be similar to the old City Hall building.

h)                 The design of this building is modeled after a building at the Headley Whitney Museum.

i)                    The main roof will be covered in asphalt shingles. Copper will be used for the porch roof, gutter sand downspouts.

j)                    The final cupola design has not been finalized.

k)                  The Hardie plank siding will be wood grained lap siding.

l)                    The depth of the eyebrow above the second floor is 12” +/-.

m)               Shutters will be added to the rear building elevation.

n)                 The tree located at the back of the site is also a large silver maple. During construction they will try and not disturb the roots of the tree. Dave Leonard has a device that is able to locate the trees main roots and determine the compaction of the soil.

4.                 The following is the BOAR member discussion of the application:

a)                 The applicant was asked to return to the board when a landscape plan indicating the type of replacement trees is prepared.

b)                 There is three to four feet of elevation change from the front to the back of the site.

c)                 The foundation will be covered in a faux stone. The height seems to be shown a little higher than what is typical on central Kentucky homes. The type of stone will be submitted at the next BOAR meeting he attends.

d)                 The shutters can be a material other than wood as long as they are on operable hardware and are sized so that if closed they would cover the window.
