ITEM SUMMARY:

Melissa Mercado, owner of 134-136 Main Street, is requesting approval of a Certificate of Appropri-
ateness to remove and replace the existing awnings on the front of the building. The building is a two-
story commercial structure with a lower level off Turner Court. The first floor on Main Street has two
separate commercial spaces each with an awning located above the window system. The applicant
intends to remove the awnings and frames and replace in the same location with a frame that allows
for a front slope and valance. Each awning will contain Sunbrella fabric with an Admiral Blue color.
One of the spaces has a current tenant, Ferny’s Salon, and will contain the name of the business on
the valance of the awning. The other commercial space is vacant but the applicant intends to place
the name of a future tenant on the valance once occupied. Please see attached photos and scope of
work for more details.

The 136 Main Street portion of the building was constructed in the 1860s and the 134 Main Street
portion in 1952. The building is an international style and is considered non-contributing and not a
candidate for local landmark status. The 134 Main Street portion was the site of the Morning Star Sa-
loon, which was demolished by 1949.

ACTION PROPOSED:

Consideration of new awnings/signage at 134-136 Main Street.

Project Overview:

This project involves the careful change of awnings and painting of window capping/trim on
134-136 Main St.

The goal is to improve aesthetics of this prominent Main St building. The current awnings are
run down and faded. Additionally, painting of the window capping would update the look as a
phase 1 approach until a permanent tenant is identified.


The adaptations to the awning will include:

    1.  Changing the structure of the awning to have a more appealing look. The front panel will
      be shorter and will feature the name of the business only.
    2. Change color to Sunbrella Admiral Blue


                                                                            1
