New Business
A. Section 106 Review – 1813 W. Main Street
Homeowner has been approved to participate in the CDBG Minor Home program. The
proposed project is replacement of three broken windows and repair or replacement of the drain
pipe in the front yard of the property using acceptable methods to prevent further erosion. The
residential structure was constructed in 2005 and is not listed individually on the register or
within a historic district. Staff recommended approval of Section 106 Review as no historic
properties are affected. Mr. Record moved and Ms. Jones seconded to approve the 106
Review. Motion passed unanimously.
B. Section 106 Review – E. Miller Street and Chestnut Street Sidewalk Improvement
City proposes to replace and/or install approximately 1130 feet of sidewalk that is 4 feet
wide and the construction of six ADA ramps. The sidewalk on Chestnut Street abuts the curb
which is also deteriorated beyond usefulness and will also need to be replaced. This curb in
conjunction with the curb that will need to be replaced to construct the ADA ramps amounts to
400 feet. The sidewalk on Chestnut Street abuts a steep earth/rock slope that continues to
2
slough material onto the sidewalk. A two to three foot tall retaining wall approximat ely 328 feet
in length is proposed to correct this issue.
Concerns were expressed by Commission members regarding the appearance of a portion
of the proposed sidewalk goes along City property. Also concerns were expressed whether the
proposed project benefits low income individuals.
Mr. Hoffman moved and Mr. Wheat seconded to table this item and request clarification from
staff as to ownership of the property concerning the City and whether the neighborhood is low
income and qualifies for sidewalks. The motion passed unanimously, with one nay vote from Mr.
Hoffman.
