The owner of the property, Brad Bevers, wishes to rebuild crown molding and column corbel caps to approximate the façade of the building in 1929.
Work would also include moving the small sign from the front corner of the building to the back entry and building a new sign on the front corner to resemble the sign that was there between the 1960s and 1970s. In addition, the building would be painted and a fence would be added at the back of the building to block the view to the utility area.

City staff recommends approval of the CoA application.
In other business, the board will possibly act upon setting a monthly meeting date and time, rather than calling meetings as needed. It will then hear administrative reports.
The board will meet Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.
