[0:15] Okay, I call this meeting of the Mount
Vernon Landmark Commission to order at
[0:22] 12
13 p.m. on today is August 17th, Monday.
[0:31] Uh
we do have a quorum of four present,
[0:38] Mr. Jordan,
Bobby, and Ralph and myself.
[0:44] Okay.
First
[0:49] item on on the agenda is simply in the
consent agenda, which is our minutes
[0:55] from the July 24th
session.
[0:59] Uh,
everybody's had a chance to look at
[1:02] those.
They were sent when they were sent to
[1:06] you. Uh, I'd entertain a motion to
approve if you were here.
[1:15] » I can't
[1:22] do
Okay. All right, everybody. I have a
[1:29] motion from Ralph and a second from
Billy to to approve the consent agenda
[1:36] consent consisting of the minutes from
the July 24th meeting. All in favor? I
[1:52] » All right.
I'm going to go ahead and read this. I'm
[1:56] not sure. Do we have any public comment?
Any folks?
[2:06] Okay. Anyway, I'll read this so we have
that on on record. Is the Texas Open
[2:11] Meetings Act prohibits the board from
responding to any comments other than to
[2:15] refer a matter to future agenda to an
existing policy or to make a statement
[2:21] of factual information. claims against
the city board members or employees as
[2:26] well as individual personnel appeals are
not appropriate for citizens for okay
[2:40] we do not have anyone that chooses to
make a public comment at this time we
[2:45] will have some from those who have
submitted requests I believe moving on
[2:51] to the items to consider
Uh first is the consider request for
[2:57] certificate of appropriateness for 602
West Main Street here in I understand
[3:03] that has been withdrawn.
So that is withdrawn.
[3:07] We will forgo that.
[3:14] Next item to consider is the request for
certificate of appropriateness for
[3:19] improvements at 602 Miller Street in
Mount Vernon.
[3:25] And if you can move on to that
application
[3:32] and
who do we have here from that and your
[3:37] name, sir?

Now, I'm sorry to interrupt.
[5:05] We are going to make
[5:20] » basically Would
[5:42] you roll it back to the one that has the
addendum in it?
[5:53] Okay. Um, and I will begin by saying
that uh you do know and I'm sure if
[6:00] you've done these before that we uh they
do not recommend painting brick, but as
[6:06] as you've said, sometimes it can't be
avoided and sometimes it's just better.
[6:13] Uh, but we do ask that you use the
breathable paints
[6:19] and
[6:32] and being the OCD person I am, I can say
that I looked that up and it is a
[6:38] breathable thing.
>> It is.
[6:45] » We're still learning about those
actually.
[6:49] increase the number that are available.
When used to they didn't have them.
[6:53] Okay. Uh the uh windows are pretty much
are going to be the same. You're making
[6:59] them fit the one the existing ones
>> and
[7:08] energy efficient. Uh they are metal but
they are white powder coat.
[7:30] doors and the doors of course will be
and you're painting this you're
[7:35] replacing with
it the post out
[8:19] I'm surprised you haven't found
[8:40] All right. Does any of the board have
any questions for our
[8:52] » How long do you think your project is
going to take to complete?
[9:07] very efficient. Okay. Uh folks, if
you're
[9:13] if you're comfortable with the
application, we entertain a motion to
[9:16] approve the certificate of

[9:21] » I will

[9:52] as presented. All those in favor? I

[9:57] have unanimous decision.
Thank you, Mr.
[10:05] Moving on to our next item.
We have a consideration for a
[10:14] certificate of appropriateness for
improvements at 102 Pittsburgh Street.
[10:21] For some reason, I'd forgotten where
Pittsburgh Street was.
[10:30] Yeah. Or just
west or east there. Yeah.
[10:36] Okay. So, uh who do May I get your name?
[10:43] » Rachel.
[10:48] » And you're the owner of the property.
>> Okay. Do you also live there?
[11:22] Young lady, could you come to the mic. I
have trouble hearing.
[11:28] » Sorry.
[12:01] There is
[12:05] a reason.
[12:39] Okay. If you'd like to share those with
the board, we'll take a quick look.
[12:47] That's the color.
[13:01] Okay.
[13:27] Okay. You're not changing the windows or
anything like that. Okay.
[13:46] You own the other properties that are
along that road. Okay. Just that.
[13:54] Of
[14:13] course, all of those have the dos,
but there's
[14:20] one to the north of there that does
And so, you know, it's not a president
[14:28] situation on that. There's lots of shade
in that area there. And so,
[14:37] roof shouldn't be too much of a problem.
[15:12] question.
[15:18] » I said being a duplex and you know
rental property it is you know we want
[15:24] to make sure that they are maintained as
well as our privately owned.
[15:37] All right. Uh, that being said, if
there's no more questions for Miss Paula
[15:42] about this project, entertain a motion
to approve a certificate of
[15:49] appropriateness.
[15:53] You make the motion. Okay. Bobby has
made the motion.
[16:05] made the motion. Billy Jordan has
seconded the motion uh to award the
[16:10] certificate of appropriateness for the
project at
[16:16] 102
Pittsburgh Street here in Mount Vernon.
[16:21] It's a duplex as presented with the
change in the roof, addition of the
[16:29] fresh posts and paint. Okay.
>> All right. All those in favor.
[16:36] » I
oppose. You have a
[16:41] rousing approval.
As I said, it's it's important
[16:47] to the city as a whole, I think, to make
sure that properties are given the
[16:52] attention they do. Thank you for
stepping in
[17:06] and maint
[17:11] Thank you.
[17:15] Okay.
Can I just I'm gonna add this to the
[17:31] do we have anything from the board? I
will ask that needs to be
[17:36] Next
[17:44] secretary, do we have anything in
upcoming?
[17:50] Nothing at this time. Okay. I will say
that uh I had talked with the lady uh
[17:59] that would made the withdrawal because
they had not
[18:05] completed I told her would probably be
required and she
[18:10] in that she would need to
[18:17] make sure that what was going behind it
wasn't visible.
[18:22] We got at least two that I can think of
that either metal buildings or metal
[18:28] containers that are behind
[18:33] privacy fencing.
[18:36] So, we might have that in the coming
weeks
[18:41] depending on
[19:01] » a little slow down.
>> Slow down.
[19:09] Okay, there's nothing else for the good
of I
[19:14] open for a
