JULY 10, 1986
The meeting began at 4:05 P.M. with the calling of the roll.
All members being present, the Chair asked for a motion to
approve the Minutes of the previous meeting. Commissioner
Cook requested that two changes be made in the Minutes as
presented; that the seventh condition placed upon the
American Legion be deleted as this was not a part of the
original motion and that the board fence was to be 5 ft. in
height not that a 5 ft. height was set as a minimum. A
motion to approve the Minutes with these changes was made,
seconded and approved unanimously.
The Chair then called Case M-7, an application for property
at 1001 Cumberland deferred from the previous meeting,
before the Commission. Mr. Wali Caradine, owner and
applicant, presented the project specifics. He stated that
he would be using the structure as his home and office. He
also outlined changes proposed from the orignal submission
including raising fence heights to 8 ft. and a relocation
and redesign of the solarium and deck areas. After some
discussion concerning these changes and the replication of
the porch railing and roofing materials, a motion was made
and seconded to approve the project as presented by
Mr. Caradine. Commissioner Jarrard then proposed that the
8 ft. fence be limited to those sections along the south
property line and between the south property line and the
structure. This change was placed in the form of an
amendment to the original motion and was approved
unanimously. The Chair then called for a vote on the motion
as amended. All members voted aye.
The Chair then called Case M-9 before the Commission. This
application was for certain changes and additions to Kramer
School at 715 Sherman so that the building might be used for
apartments. Mr. Joe Johnson of the Cromwell Firm,

the project's intent and design. The Commission questioned
the design of skylights and landscape maintenance
provisions. The applicant stated that the skylights would
not extend more than 2" above the plane of the roof, the
frames would generally match the color of the roof and that
glazing would be tinted. He also stated that every effort
would be made to preserve the landscape materials and that
any plants which died would be replaced. The Chair then
called for persons in favor of the project to come forward.
