HARB approves signage at 52 E. State; 44 E. State tabled; storm-window guidance and spoof email raised

The Historic & Architectural Review Board approved a sign application for a new restaurant at 52 E. State Street, with two window-applied signs and one mounted sign; the minutes record "there will be two signs applied to the windows and one mounted" and that the existing lighting will remain. The board recommended approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented (motion Blasdale; second Chase).

Separately, the application for 44 E. State Street was tabled because no applicant attended; the board asked that the applicant be present at the next meeting before HARB acts. In new business, Henry Littlefield and Catherine Jones of 211 E. Oakland Avenue attended to request information on replacing exterior storm windows; board members Ralph Fey and Andy Happ offered several options and provided addresses as visual examples. Richard Brown alerted the board that he had received a spoof email appearing to be a scam related to that evening's porch application and asked members to be aware.

The minutes do not indicate any further administrative action on the spoof email beyond the warning to members, nor do they document specific vendor names or permit numbers for storm-window solutions.
