(2026) 04-28 Historic Preservation Commission Meeting

The City of Monroe GA Historic Preservation Commission held a meeting on April 28, 2026, primarily to review and approve a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for facade, window, and door replacements at 122, 124, and 126 South Broad Street. The discussion focused on the use of Hardie board siding to replace deteriorated wood facades and the replacement of windows and doors to maintain the historic character of the buildings. Staff recommended approval of the COA with conditions to adjust window proportions for consistency, but the property owner requested approval as installed due to practical and economic considerations, including prior extensive investment of over $25,000. The commission ultimately approved the COA without conditions, allowing the work as completed. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
