SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow the painting
of a structure
FILE: CA-2010
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Virginia Radford has applied for a certificate of appropriateness to
allow the painting of the brick on the house located at 2495 Gladys.
Ms. Radford states that portions of the house were covered in vines.
When the vines were removed, Ms. Radford says that the brick was
damaged. She would like to paint the brick white to hide the
damage.
The Historic District Regulations state that A brick surfaces not
previously painted may not be painted unless the applicant establishes
that the color and texture of replacement brick cannot be matched
with that of the existing brick surface or that the painting is necessary
to restore or preserve the brick itself.@
The Planning Manager recommends approval, with hesitation, due to
the fact that Ms. Radford painted the house after she was told by two
staff persons that she could not do so until she received approval from
the Historic Landmark Commission.
The house is not listed in the SPARE Beaumont Survey.
