99 N. Main Pre-App Submittal
Severson gave a presentation on the Pre-App. (See Attachment A - Severson presentation)
This is listed as a primary contributing resource in the Historic District.
Mark, Cindy and Dave Sandison,the applicants, addressedthe Commission regarding the pre-app application.
The applicants are in their “due diligence” period and want to make sure that their idea can move forward before
purchase of the property. They are open to recommendations from the Historic Commission.
Commissioners reviewed the pre-application proposal and expressed their support for the design, noting
however that they felt the 'clipped corner' should be retained with windows rather than a door.
Commissioners suggested that the proposal was a big improvement to the site that would enliven the
gateway to downtown.
The applicant will put together a formal application and submit with the Historic Commission recommendations once
they decide if they are moving forward with the purchase of the property.
