Commissioners approved a small revision to a previously permitted addition at 1301 McKinney Avenue after the applicant said the change would match an identical dormer detail on the house's street-facing side. Staff and the applicant told the commission the dormer was framed to the drawing dimension (9 feet) and that materials and previously approved conditions would remain in force. The commission approved the revision with previously approved conditions.

The commission also approved a partial demolition and alteration of window and door openings at 947 Mansfield Street in the Maxwell Heights neighborhood with conditions. Staff recommended retaining openings on the side elevations forward of the primary ridge line and required material reviews; the commission added a condition that brick infill where doors are removed extend to the ground (\"take out the veil\" under the windows) and that the applicant work with staff on window selections and documentation of prior openings before final permit issuance.

An outbuilding at 2901 Belmont Boulevard was approved after the applicant and a neighbor discussed preservation of an existing double-stone wall along the alley. The architect said the design does not propose to remove the wall and that only a short section (about 3 feet on one side for driveway accommodation) may be trimmed; the commission approved the outbuilding with standard staff conditions.

Multiple other items were approved on the consent agenda, including a series of additions and outbuildings (addresses called during consent included 905 North Twelfth Street; 1814 Ordway Place; 1801 Lakehurst Drive; 901 Carruthers Avenue; 2808 Brightwood Avenue; 2904 Belmont Boulevard; 1306 Sixth Avenue North; 4202 Nebraska Avenue; 4000 Cambridge Avenue; 4811 Elkins Avenue; 315 North Wilson Boulevard; 1111 Calvin Avenue; 160 Second Avenue North; 907 Gilmore Avenue; and others). Staff recommended approval of the consent agenda items finding the applications met design guidelines; the commission voted to approve the consent agenda.

The commission's actions included documented staff conditions: material reviews for window and door replacements, submission of revised elevations that show approved changes (including correct front dormer locations), and preservation of front and side openings that staff determined to be original. Applicants and their architects discussed constructability, previously permitted inspections and where changes would require rework of rough-ins if the commission denied the requested minor revisions.

The recommendation came after Robbie Jones, a neighborhood historian and professional preservation planner, summarized his research into Marlin Meadows' midcentury development and argued the area's architecture and landscape \"tell the story\" of postwar housing patterns in Nashville. Council Member Tanya Hancock spoke in support and said she had been working with the neighborhood for more than a year; several residents spoke both for and against the overlay. Commissioner Tom Price moved to approve the staff recommendation; the motion passed with one recorded opposition by Commissioner Smith.

The commission heard that Marlin Meadows was developed in the 1950s on Neely's Bend and includes primarily brick ranch and midcentury houses on half- to one-acre lots. Jones told commissioners he had compiled a neighborhood history packet and said the conservation overlay would give residents a tool to address tear-downs and incompatible additions. He also told the panel he had checked questions about insurance and taxes with staff, saying \"there's no special property taxes\" and that he was not aware of home insurance cancellations for properties in overlays.

At public comment, resident Brad Brown said he learned of the hearing only when he received a letter and urged denial, saying the overlay would unduly restrict homeowner rights. Other residents, including Ken Johnson and Mark Wayman, said they supported the overlay to protect the neighborhood's character. Council Member Hancock told the commission she had held repeated meetings with neighbors since early 2024 and that the neighborhood preferred a conservation overlay over a stricter historic overlay.

Staff recommended approval of both the conservation overlay and the design guidelines. Commissioners discussed standards for designation, the number of neighborhood meetings and how the overlay would be administered. One commissioner said he was \"having a hard time\" finding the district met some of the professional criteria for historic designation but acknowledged the historic pattern argument offered by staff. Vice Chair Stewart and others said the commission's role is to evaluate whether the application meets the ordinance standards and to forward a recommendation to Metro Council, which makes the final decision.

Commissioner Price moved for approval of the staff recommendation; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Beth Kache. The commission recorded one formal opposition by Commissioner Smith; the motion passed and the commission will forward its recommendation to Metro Council. Planning staff noted the Planning Commission review has been requested to be delayed until April 24 to allow the Planning Department to account for upcoming housing and infrastructure reports.

The commission closed the public hearing after receiving four letters that were posted online and distributed to commissioners.

Looking ahead, Council Member Tanya Hancock told the commission she expects a public hearing on council regarding related legislation and said she would continue to meet with residents.
