The commission also approved a color change and porch ceiling paint at 122 Pine Street as presented; the applicant said the house will remain primarily white with a denim‑blue front door and tricorn‑black shutters and Moray‑black architectural shingles. Mike and Kim Warhol received approval for a new hanging sign and a paint change (Templeton Gray) at 558 Front Street, and commissioners approved an application from Evans Family LLC at 501 Williams to replace single‑pane aluminum windows with energy‑efficient windows that mimic the original pane divisions.

Most items were approved by voice vote after brief presentations; the commission directed applicants to file any required materials with the office and to return with details such as front‑door color or awning plans when necessary.

Owner David Green told commissioners he bought the left half of the old hardware store and wants to paint the front façade Benjamin Moore \"Lafayette Green\" with off‑white trim, reopen previously painted‑over windows, and add low, focused lights to illuminate a hanging sign. Green said two poles in front of the building — one an apparent service pole and the other an anchor for seasonal lights — prevent a continuous awning from being installed. He reported plans to move electrical service to the rear of the building and asked who in city government handles pole removal.

Commissioners approved the painting and the sign, with a voice vote moved by Horton and seconded by Donahoe. They advised Green to contact Tim Tusick in Utilities to explore removing the poles; staff agreed to provide contact information. Green also presented a historical signage concept as a backup if the awning cannot be installed; commissioners asked him to keep that proposal on file.

The commission approved the façade paint and signage as presented. The installation of a continuous awning was not approved at the meeting; commissioners linked that next step to removal of the two poles and to any required utility approvals.","The commission approved paint and signage for 550 Front Street (owner David Green) and discussed removing two utility poles that now obstruct a proposed continuous awning.

Savania Price, a realtor representing the property owner (listed in the file as Mr. Modi), told the commission the application had previously gone to planning and zoning, which initially required two parking spaces under short‑term rental rules. Planning and zoning granted a variance by email to allow one space; the historic district commission reviewed the proposal for compatibility with the historic district and whether two driveways would remove most front‑yard green space.

Commissioners discussed placement and neighborhood consistency. Commissioner Donahoe noted that many houses in the district have driveways on the right; the commission approved one gravel parking space to the right of the house when facing the property. The motion to approve was moved by Donahoe and seconded by Wilson and carried by voice vote. The application record indicates the approved space is a 10‑by‑20 footprint per city parking requirements.","The Natchitoches Historic District Commission confirmed a planning‑and‑zoning variance and approved one gravel parking space at 119 Sydney Street for a proposed short‑term rental, specifying placement to the right side of the house when facing the property.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6749944,"Historic commission ratifies emergency roof repair at 724 Front Street",53,79000,132000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5233254-530ba4967d1aed4d01f70263e431ca5d&start=79&end=132","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5233254-530ba4967d1aed4d01f70263e431ca5d/thumbnail_79000.jpg","/articles/6749944/Louisiana/Historic-commission-ratifies-emergency-roof-repair-at-724-Front-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6749944-27935230ef69ea34e4423b4d901b7791/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161898&Signature=TaUPD3kc04fJyt6u-r6cn1lWsqrGii58r9YQg4dHUcmrJM~Y~djK3yusBxXrAD~fUJC62bVOcF03J380xFr8Jy0wvFqPzGFM7~L3hMrgx0qK1c7AjV3J3l~ui87BqQZFXRZmUm3sCucxbl37IQOZSjwrb1bnKb7jQiPtodXNiFQpuTUQWimcYPoqUEMxgQTo-5JHhtBYydXzDDOmzIDZyd~cv4mPv2rZpL67YfOLv0xldgdmeH~Ou1kDOEtwDsQDy8DdTgOH6L33DtVBhyuLkBy3uZlcKN28tjP4QMd6JgY5W52RF09LdGCApmtHv7Im8nzd17OmsTQMo3T3IyYKvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Natchitoches Historic District Commission voted July 7 to ratify an emergency roof repair at 724 Front Street, the rear add‑on of the Natchitoches Pictic Company, so ongoing interior work at the property can proceed.

Commission acting co‑chair Mary Ann Salter said the small add‑on at the back of the building had a continuing leak that prevented finishing a tenant project. Commissioner Donahoe moved to ratify the repair; Commissioner Owens seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.

The action was presented as a ratification of emergency repair work; commissioners did not request further documentation during the meeting.
