The board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness (CoA) application from Pioneer Smokehouse and Mercantile, 309 South Park Street.
The restaurant wishes to build a simple structure around its outdoor smoker trailer after receiving notification in November that health code now requires the smoker to be enclosed.

The application also includes plans to add a covered deck adjacent to the smoker using matching materials, serving as a covered seating area.
In other business, the board planned to elect a chairperson and vice chairperson for a one-year term. However, as not all members were in attendance, the item was tabled and will come back at the next meeting.
