Mr. Tom Rulon requested approval for a cooker vent on the west side of the
Northern Hotel. The vent will be approximately 6 to 7 feet from the canopy
and will be placed in the painted metal strip. The vent will measure 4" X 12"
and is required by the City and the Health Department when an establishment
brews beer. The vent will be used three times per week and will emit no more
steam than a tea kettle.
Ms. Handley questioned Mr. Rulon regarding the timing of the brewing and
therefore the steam emission. He replied that the beer would be processed
during the night or early morning.
Ms. Ketcham made a motion to approve the vent as requested in the Northern
Hotel. Ms. Handley seconded the motion. All aye.
The applicant also requested approval of signage. The 8" wooden letters will be
attached to a metal strip. The overall size of the sign would be 8'6" L X 2'8"

Ms. Christine Clements requested approval for porch remodeling on 2340 West
Mulberry. The applicant requested approval to use a chemical solvent to loosen
and lift off layers of old paint from the brick.
Ms. Ketcham questioned whether the chemical would destroy the mortar.
Ms. Handley asked the applicant if she would be willing to do a test patch,
with approval by the Commission, contingent upon a field review of that test
patch. Ms. Clements agreed to this request and stated she would order the
solvent and inform the Commission when the test had been done.
Ms. Ketcham made a motion to approve
the proposal
for
renovation to the
porch contingent upon the acceptability of
the solvent's

file a complaint.
