Pentaude at 38617 — 6 Avenue. and Application for Facade Improvement Matching Grant Application submitted by Ronald G. Pentaude at 38617 — 6 Avenue. Mr. Vande Berg verified that Mr. Pentaude's house is a contributing structure in the Historical District. The Board reviewed the work he wants to do, the pictures of the materials he is proposing to use as replacements, and the pictures submitted showing the deteriorating parts of the home. It was discussed that he wants to do most of the work himself and that he knows that he will not be eligible for grant reimbursement unless a certified contractor does the work. Chairman Geiger suggested that they should approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the work he wants done and at this time approve the termite work for the grant reimbursement until he gets the contractor's estimates for the electrical and painting. Everyone agreed with his suggestion and Jason Aiken moved to approve Mr. Penaude's grant application for 50% reimbursement for the termite treatments and also approval of the COA's submitted for the work he wants done except for the electrical upgrades and the painting of the exterior which he will get contractor's estimates. Motion seconded by Tracy Sullivan. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Application for a Historic District "Certificate of Appropriateness" submitted by Woman's Club of Zephyrhills at 38702 8 Avenue. and Application for Facade Improvement Matching Grant Application submitted by Woman's Club of Zephvrhills at 38702 8 Avenue. Staff explained that this building is a contributing structure in our Historical District, it is City -owned and the Woman's Club has a Lease agreement for 99- years. It was discussed that the Woman's Club's roof was over 20 years old and they paid for repairs in 2009 but it is getting beyond repairing. The Club has been told that Facade Improvement Grants were initially meant for residential homes but because they are not a commercial establishment they have requested consideration and possibly an exception. Mr. Vande Berg explained that there are unused monies in the budget for this year and it will not be carried over, ultimately no one knows if there will be funds budgeted for next fiscal year. After discussion, the Board agreed by consensus of opinion that they felt it was not appropriate for them to recommend approval since it is not a residential structure. Meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
