Commission members said human resources narrowed the pool of candidates for a new planner to five, noting several candidates are from out of state. The commission and staff described expectations that the new historic preservation planner or community development staff will assist the commission with field inspections, outreach and grant opportunities.

Commission members reported engagement with the Downtown Development Authority and noted the DDA is working with Michigan Main Street, which the commission hopes could create future grant opportunities and help coordinate preservation‑oriented economic development. The commission reviewed a Certified Local Government evaluation checklist and identified several responsibilities it should pursue, including participation in local Main Street activities, nomination reviews and applying for SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) grants when relevant.

The commission discussed reestablishing a regular list of recent property sales from the county register of deeds or assessor so staff can send a form letter to new owners informing them they are in the historic district. Commissioners said the ordinance establishing the expanded district was recorded at the county register of deeds but that recording an entry on each individual property would be cost‑prohibitive.

Other items noted for future work included reviving the commission newsletter (The Heritage) at least twice a year, exploring street‑level identification markers to help residents know district boundaries, and coordinating with realtors: the commission is scheduled to present to a Realtors Association roundtable on Oct. 24.

There was no formal vote recorded on the administrative items beyond the prior procedural votes on permits; the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which passed and the commission adjourned at 6:30 p.m.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","HDC meeting 9-10-25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission said it will cancel the Sept. 24 meeting, discussed plans to hire a historic preservation‑focused planner, reestablish a sales list for notifying new owners, and considered outreach through the Downtown Development Authority's Michigan Main Street work and other communications.","taxTitle","Bay City, Bay County, Michigan","taxId",5009,"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},6458951,"Bay City HDC OKs roof replacement and 40‑watt solar attic vent at Carroll Road property",721,339000,1060000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5798885-eebcb30f76983f123517db2b7ff35db1&start=339&end=1060","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5798885-eebcb30f76983f123517db2b7ff35db1/thumbnail_339000.jpg","/articles/6458951/Bay-City/Bay-County/Michigan/Bay-City-HDC-OKs-roof-replacement-and-40watt-solar-attic-vent-at-Carroll-Road-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458951-8de2d9d6b114c9c27bcbf5dbfd4a6f74/orig.mp4?Expires=1771118192&Signature=eBzEOsUtApmNuK-QTrDFm~cTldZbmeNqWXD6TRYhHJUKbdjiis4yQzZUIwj-S0PW4AB~DFfVEemUpNKulUTZVD4ZmeJ3g0cV8iil9yVnWwSYx5r5iCSyg9vjnjamsbnJiWBkw2hQfbbihP48gfTPiitsiA17iPo1VUh8l882dGOpbd-17~XmGY4ZE3uJ2BXmgPH2ppUQrSop7rbAu8pcJdMUd-vEMTUZfj30u0CTPo9p48YU4cX7NTc-uqaZFx7gfTCBftTn2U3yngqpGj0-J8KYd~sjOUr4~pQa0iaCg2UE2LVXnI5cSfBTUdzkrD0GefCYRSbitJIZvLAtGoPpaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bay City Historic District Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for roof work and the addition of a solar‑powered attic vent at a house on Carroll Road, citing the applicant's written materials and photos.

Commissioners reviewed the application in case HDC 25‑23, which proposed replacing roof sections with Owens Corning Duration shingles and installing a soffit along the underside of an overhang that will include roof vents. The written packet described a 40‑watt solar‑powered vent to be located at the ridge on the backside of the house to improve attic airflow and regulate temperature.

Commissioners discussed existing materials on the house: portions of the roof have cedar shake while lower‑level sections already have asphalt shingles. Staff noted the application says the new roof on the main house will be matched to the existing garage roof; commissioners understood that to mean a gray color but said color is not regulated by the commission.

A staff member summarized the vent description: \"This 40 watt solar powered vent would be at the ridge on the backside of the house,\" and said the device is intended to improve attic ventilation and help prevent premature roof deterioration. Commissioners asked whether the solar panel would be visible and where it would be mounted; staff said the panel must be exterior and capable of catching sunlight and that the vent is mounted on the roof and operates like a shingle that lifts when active.

The commission moved and supported a motion to approve the certificate of appropriateness, finding the work meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior standards for rehabilitation cited in the application and section 64‑11(c) of the city's historic preservation regulations. The record shows commissioners present voted in favor and the motion passed. Staff were asked to confirm final shingle selection and to contact the applicant (referred to on the record as Mr. Shannon) with the commission's action and any follow‑up requirements.

Commissioners reiterated that color choices for shingles are not typically controlled by the commission and that the application indicated the new shingles will match the garage roof.","The commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for roof replacement at a Carroll Road house, allowing asphalt shingles to replace existing cedar shake on parts of the roof and permitting a solar‑powered attic vent to be installed at the ridge.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6458955,"Bay City HDC approves door replacement and authorizes demolition of damaged chimney at Sixth Street home",283,56000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5798885-eebcb30f76983f123517db2b7ff35db1&start=56&end=339","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5798885-eebcb30f76983f123517db2b7ff35db1/thumbnail_56000.jpg","/articles/6458955/Bay-City/Bay-County/Michigan/Bay-City-HDC-approves-door-replacement-and-authorizes-demolition-of-damaged-chimney-at-Sixth-Street-home","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458955-f525a98d5cfa75f7442e72de6794c4bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771118192&Signature=YAqQZ7jV77Xq-ube0ldWOHB0HGCn62Dg6DxaNg5S9EpE4QWmEcb8493KeC1sDf3sZqkHBUUkevvsHYdjaNnSbvhigMLCnjM~f03h-wr7bKECICZ-QpnA4RsYlSwRDGJ7l9kn4PJSYjLJjz6e2x9Uul2o0JMWljsmFaXv-Onnx3mKDHu1Y0zrktL7MhV0DxhkVl63SUeiXBgLBatraHioEGdRyIyAUUHzFHzAEaQ8W~S5KPfDVPCJ1EV7i-m69s7zycjm~YCUO-7WC9I9-h1z-Ow5A1O9yU2vBLWVHMCXFa9Mq3dqnd5HQRJtRcCWwnpbgk9YAe8Gl6S2EvA6qobi3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bay City Historic District Commission on an evening meeting approved a certificate of appropriateness to replace exterior back and screen doors at a house on Sixth Street and authorized the demolition of a chimney that commission members said is a safety hazard.

The commission voted to approve the applicant's work as described in case HDC 25‑21, finding the proposed door replacement meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior standards for rehabilitation referenced in the application and section 64‑11(c) of the city's historic preservation district regulations.

The applicant, Erin Goss, told the commission the chimney is leaking into an interior closet. \"This is leaking water into our interior closet,\" Goss said. Commissioners asked whether utility exhausts run through the chimney; the applicant confirmed they do not.

On the second part of the same case, the commission voted to grant a notice to proceed for demolition after finding the chimney constitutes a hazard under section 64‑14(a) of the city code and that retaining it would cause undue financial hardship when the damage was caused by weather. Commissioners approved the demolition motion after discussion of alternatives and confirmation that owner attempts to address the problem had been exhausted.

Both actions were moved and supported on the record; commissioners present voted in favor of the motions. The commission recorded follow‑up directions: the applicant may coordinate with city staff for next steps. The chair thanked the applicant and noted staff members Terry and Lisa would provide additional direction.

The commission moved on to other business after taking the two actions on case HDC 25‑21.","The Bay City Historic District Commission granted a certificate of appropriateness to replace exterior back and screen doors at a Sixth Street property and issued a notice to proceed to remove a weather‑damaged chimney after finding it a safety hazard.","actionData","errors"]
