Old Business
A. Section 106 Review – E Miller St & Chestnut St Sidewalk Improvement
The 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
slough material onto the sidewalk. A two to three foot tall retaining wall approximately 328 feet
in length is proposed to correct this issue. Ms. Jones and Mr. Hoffman seconded to approve the
Section 106 Review.
Other Business
A. Dangerous Building Determinations
Ms. Abbott stated that the properties located at 1218 Jackson Street; 600 E. Capitol
Avenue; 621 E. Capitol Avenue and 623 E. Capitol Avenue have been determined as
dangerous by the Building Official. These properties were impacted by the May 22, 2019 EF-3
tornado.
B. Online Training Discussion
Members had a brief discussion about the National Park Service Online Training – Walk
Through Historic Buildings. The general consensus was that the training has been very helpful
and are looking forward to the next module.
