HLPC Approves Exterior Lighting and Paint Color for 110 North Church Street

The Historic Landmarks Preservation Commission (HLPC) discussed and considered a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for the property at 110 North Church Street. The applicant, Scott Henderson, requested approval for two exterior light fixtures and the painting of the building's front facade and rear in Sherwin Williams Holiday Turquoise. The commission approved the replacement of front doors, wood siding, plate glass windows, and painting of the front and rear during a previous meeting on May 14th. For this item, the HLPC debated the paint color, with some members feeling it did not align with the downtown character, while others acknowledged that solid paint colors on previously painted surfaces typically fall under ordinary maintenance and do not require HLPC review unless they are murals or involve painting unpainted brick. Ultimately, the commission voted to approve the COA, including the paint color, despite reservations from some members about its suitability for the downtown area. The approval was unanimous.
