Commissioners noted a recently circulated grant opportunity aimed at historic restaurants and agreed to share the information with downtown restaurant owners; one commissioner said Tyler King would share the notice with local businesses. The commission discussed outreach and the potential for tenants and property owners to use the funding.

Members also advanced plans to relaunch a curb-appeal award program. Commissioners discussed purchasing durable yard signs that recipients could keep, and keeping a small stock of signs for future awards. The commission reviewed available funds: one speaker said about $1,500 remained in the current budget and that the line item would reset to about $2,000 on Oct. 1; previously the allotment had been higher, “maybe even 4,500,” the speaker said. Commissioners agreed the award program could extend beyond downtown to buildings more than 50 years old.

On staff and training matters, commissioners said Ethan (last name not provided) has moved on to a job in Kansas City and that Andrew Clary is taking over his role until a replacement is hired. One commissioner returned from half-day training sessions and said the training included design-review topics for infill development — material commissioners said would be useful for future local projects.

Commissioners received an update that John Patke acquired 320 Jefferson Street and had begun initial cleanup; staff said the property was not slated for demolition. The commission also reported that an applicant, Marlon Heidman, had completed an application and spoken with the mayor; the commission expected the governing body to consider the appointment on June 2.

Commissioners asked staff to locate any previously used yard-sign inventory, to follow up on procurement quotes for new signs, and to schedule field walks of candidate neighborhoods to identify good locations for permanent district signage. They also discussed submitting city-owned properties for local landmark designation and expect to begin that process the following month.

No formal policy changes or budget increases were approved at the meeting; commissioners assigned follow-up tasks to staff and proposed additional outreach and procurement steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Washington Historic Preservation Commission Meeting 05/12/25","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners discussed a new grant opportunity for historic restaurants, restarting the curb-appeal award program, staff training changes, the recent sale of 320 Jefferson Street and a pending appointment to fill a commission vacancy.","taxTitle","Washington, Franklin County, Missouri","taxId",58415,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6026509,"Commission approves River Siren Collective sign; debates backlighting and lighting limits",599,315825,915621,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736711-c0b5190003cf0ed1f53db93296f7db16&start=315&end=915","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736711-c0b5190003cf0ed1f53db93296f7db16/thumbnail_315825.jpg","/articles/6026509/Washington/Franklin-County/Missouri/Commission-approves-River-Siren-Collective-sign-debates-backlighting-and-lighting-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6026509-bce9d7206cf79e19883d3c3952691290/orig.mp4?Expires=1770794036&Signature=NvRChIfdI8fMNISciYmX0lqFKqL4v270djTbesVYeB3Z-rMhEOGucWcIblkbevZVhXxD~ojTbePBjrSitxo-IpSHAa89sUfUZo9y9rTerOi5qglDzymeuMDeFMjNHqtaNa2nKxWD1NZJSGAgTNNOdn1MuG3LhE9rmC2EZpNXk5GIZOg5i4Wln6J7lvn~Up1s3wZa0QQK9vm7YiwdU2VV19Vglr5XQXc5ALb6NaYwPdOAjmKfQv5~QarBWiDaGhvbiFKUttKrsYGR1vNCkm6PSwKqsxH010FVk3LVcSYGvUI-PLUEY3NHo6YWzlHJ5mz6Pen3tjpmFGpPXaK8dEPI9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission approved signage designs for 209 West Second Street, known as River Siren Collective, and authorized recording approvals for two additional downtown signs while discussing lighting, sign types and size limits.

Dale Grevy, who identified himself as the owner of 209 West Second Street, presented a proposed sign that would reuse the existing backlit sign structure that once served a US Bank location. Grevy said the proposed face is “fogged acrylic” and argued it would not be overly bright compared with nearby commercial signage. “It is fogged acrylic, so it's not gonna be very bright,” Grevy said during his presentation. He also announced a June 1 grand opening for the spa and wellness business in the building.

Commissioners and staff discussed allowable backlighting, halo or “halo-lit” letter styles, and alternatives such as gooseneck or ground-mounted uplighting. One commission member said staff typically does not check exact sign size until after historic-preservation review; staff member Sarah Skeen said she would verify sign-area calculations after the design approval. A speaker cited a common sign-size guideline, saying the maximum sign area is calculated as 5% of the building face area, and staff agreed to check the zoning and historic-preservation codes for specific lumen or lighting limits.

The commission approved the sign design for 209 West Second as a non-backlit submission (applicant may use top or bottom lighting) and then approved a package motion to place two other previously reviewed signs—20 West Second and 416 Elm Street—on record. Motions were made and seconded and commissioners voted in favor.

The commission requested that staff confirm allowable lighting levels and sign-size calculations under the historic-preservation and zoning codes before final sign permits are issued. The approval covers the designs as presented; changes to lighting or sign dimensions will require staff review or additional commission action.","The Historic Preservation Commission approved signage designs for 209 West Second Street (River Siren Collective) and two additional downtown signs, while commissioners discussed backlighting, halo-letter styles and sign-size and lighting limits in the historic district.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6026514,"Historic Preservation Commission approves rooftop-deck certificate for 514 West Front Street",195,112205,308191,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736711-c0b5190003cf0ed1f53db93296f7db16&start=112&end=308","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736711-c0b5190003cf0ed1f53db93296f7db16/thumbnail_112205.jpg","/articles/6026514/Washington/Franklin-County/Missouri/Historic-Preservation-Commission-approves-rooftop-deck-certificate-for-514-West-Front-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6026514-293b2d94ac154cfd47149f2150751ea2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770794036&Signature=bSsjBp4XAjOTyh8ZR3z6hw4TiPYzuntfX8LE~lgZ~0IXv~~Qs7kuk57D8g10ljGH2-vDEBO7zEtGu8GhwsW-2nKsltIVE8QlOmozNxT59ehhR0czRQPjyJrzCDm~~v4NpQy4U8J9rauIlpiOlYCQsTEWP1vOlqe7Lh329laH7wdmPvLyNJGEOVO5Au4UbFrfi7mpJcEPcdOKxv7UvEQV6yTE~rFL8luQgGSgy-T1hEdMJL1TeKpIO~vfttL1DKwhAk3BF1twxHLqB8I0W6ndHlWkjxedK5N2JMjjLJdQppUOU92oDC6mi29DSRgxaO66NbfEBMEW8dZM7HxFym1PBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission voted to issue a certificate of review for rooftop-deck renovations at 514 West Front Street after owner Andy Understall presented design changes and materials plans.

Understall, who identified himself as the owner and operator of Understall Construction, said the current rooftop setup — including umbrellas and portable heaters — had been repeatedly displaced by wind and that the recent vacancy gave him an opportunity to upgrade the space. “The issue with the rooftop deck is all the umbrellas and the heaters and everything. The winds comes, you know, it's blowing them all over,” Understall said during his presentation.

Understall described a proposal that would reuse timber salvaged from the old Bow and Feed store for the decking and some joists, use steel for framing and install a TPO roof membrane. He told the commission he might return with an amended submission to cover the entire deck; currently the plan under review would cover a portion of the rooftop. He also said the design team plans to retain some existing glass railing panels to preserve airflow, add black metal railing elsewhere and install ceiling fans.

Commission discussion focused on the extent of the enclosure, ventilation and materials. One commission member noted and praised the reuse of salvaged lumber. No statutory citation or external agency approval was cited during the discussion.

A motion to issue the certificate of review was made and seconded; commissioners voted in favor and the motion carried. The vote was recorded as an approval of the design presented at the meeting. The owner acknowledged that tenant preferences could affect final fit-out and that he might revise the application later to expand coverage.

The certificate allows Understall Construction to proceed with the approved rooftop-deck changes as presented; any future changes to expand coverage or alter materials would require a resubmission or amendment to the commission’s approval.","The Historic Preservation Commission voted to issue a certificate of review for rooftop-deck renovations at 514 West Front Street after the owner described plans to enclose part of the deck, reuse salvaged timber and install new framing and roofing.","actionData","errors"]
