Alright you guys and here are some more exercises using our weighted backpack and health related content coming to you soon.


Most teachers, the first few school days after the Easter week vacation, posed a problem in readjustment to routine. But our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, didn't let the idiosyncrasies of her pupils dampen her spirits one bit. No, indeed. In fact, last Friday, after my final class, I just smiled, bowed to the students, and went quietly out of my mind. But I'm a little ahead of my story. It all started when the undergraduate body declared last week to be, let's dress up week. Contained in this malevolent mardi gras were such jolly, daily fiestas as clashing colors day in which anyone caught wearing an outfit that matched was severely punished by his or her fellow students.  By Thursday, which was girls wear slacks and boys wear one shoe only day, Mr. Conklin, our beloved principal, was fit to be tied. At a general assembly that afternoon, he sternly demanded that all the shenanigans cease. Accordingly, I had my landlady, Mrs. Davis, wake me a little earlier than usual on Friday morning. But I still don't understand why you had me get you up at this unearthly hour, Connie, why it's only 7.15, and you're all finished with your shower and everything. Not everything, Mrs. Davis. I've still got to find a pair of stockings that haven't got a run in them. Let's see if there's a pair hiding in this drawer. You see, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Conklin's in a rampage over the way the kids at school are dressing. He says it's up to us teachers to put a stop to it. How about these stockings, Connie? They have no runs in them. Let's see. Say, they are in good shape at that. Too bad they're gloves. Gloves? Gloves? Isn't it a shame and me without a thumb on either foot? I never saw anyone get so many torn stockings as you do. How do you do it, Connie? I have helped, Mrs. Davis. That desk of mine at school has an insatiable appetite for nylon. I've paid Mr. Conklin to requisition a new desk, but he says the school has more vital needs than the new desk for my room. Like what, for instance? Like a new desk for his room. Oh, here's a pair of stockings I can wear. The runs are all in the back. Good.  I forgot to tell you something while you were in the bathroom, Connie. What's that, Mrs. Davis? Oh, it's terrible how absent-minded I'm becoming. Why, I'm getting to be as bad as my sister Angela. She can't remember a thing, poor dear. I know, Mrs. Davis, but what was it you forgot to tell me? It was about a phone call, Connie. I guess these little laps as a memory just run in my family, although mother wasn't so bad. I'm glad. Now about this phone call, Mrs. Davis. What phone call? The one I received while I was in the bathroom. What a strange place to receive a phone call. I didn't receive it, Mrs. Davis. Oh, that's too bad. Well, I'll start breakfast now, Connie. Yes, Mrs. Davis? Walter Denton phoned while you were in the bathroom. He said he's going to be unavoidably detained, but he's sending Stretch Snodgrass to drive you to school. Stretch Snodgrass? Yes. Why? I didn't know he could drive. He's a wonderful athlete, of course, but driving a car requires a certain amount of brain power in some states, that is. He isn't a very bright student, I know, but Stretch is a nice boy, Connie. He really looks up to Walter Denton, doesn't he? Scholastically, that shouldn't cause him any eye strain. Oh, stay there, Mrs. Davis. I'll answer it. Well, it's Harriet Conklin. Come in, Harriet. Thanks, Miss Brooks. I'll just take a minute to tell you what I want. It's that black dress with the green trim you had to wear on Easter Sunday when you spotted eggs on your new Easter dress. The one you said you were so sick of, remember? How could I forget? But what do you want with it, Harriet? Well, I need it for domestic science class. We've got to remodel something, and I want it if you'd mind my borrowing it. I guess it's okay, Harriet. It's right here in this chair in the hall. Well, that's convenient. What's it doing there? I was going to send it to a cleaning establishment, I know, that loses things pretty regularly. Here, take it. Oh, thanks a lot, Miss Brooks. Believe me, the next time you see it, you won't recognize it. If that's a promise, you're welcome, Harriet. Bye. Goodbye. Now, that's funny. She was wearing slacks, and her father is distinctly anti-girls wearing slacks to school. Are you talking to me, Connie? Why not? I just wondered why Harriet Conklin's wearing slacks today. Coming. That must be stretch. Greetings, Miss Brooks. I have a robe. It ain't Laurence Olivier. Come in, stretch. Thanks, Miss Brooks. Walter's un... Unavoidably detained. You're going to drive me to school. That's right, Miss Brooks. Stretch, before we do anything else, I'd like to know why you're wearing that yellow and green bandana wrapped around your forehead. You know how Mr. Conklin feels about these crazy costumes. This isn't any costume, Miss Brooks.  I don't want the other guys to see the bandage on it, or they'll think I'm a sissy if that's why I didn't win. Didn't win what? The hamburger eating contest we had yesterday after school. That's how come I got a cut head. Let's take it nice and slowly now.  That's right. I ate 19 of them. I ate 19 of them. Gosh, you wasn't even in the contest.  I guess winning that contest was pretty important to you. Oh, I didn't win. I came in fifth. Congratulations. But about the cut on your...  Probably onion rings.  And you know something? Those other guys in the contest kept right on eating hamburgers. But hadn't been for that. I don't want first prize, sure. Just for the record stretch, what was the first prize? A banana split. That didn't. I won't be eating any breakfast today, Mrs. Davis. Let's go stretch. And so class, we have time for just about one more question. Which is, how would you describe as tersely as possible the finish of Shakespeare's King Lear? Why stretch?  What's your answer? What does tersely mean? Well, that's a good answer. Tersely means briefly stretch. Now, how did King Lear finish? He flipped his lid, didn't he? What? Flew his cork. You know, snapped his cap. The fellas with the net came for him.  If you're trying to say that King Lear was driven mad stretch by the miserable treatment of his daughters, why... Saved by the bell. See you tomorrow, kids. Oh, stretch. You wait here a minute. Yes, ma'am. Do you know where Walter Denton is? This is the first time he's missed my English class in months. He said something about being late today, Miss Brooks, on a kind of getting up some kind of protest stunt, he said. Protest stunt? Come in. Pardon me, Miss Brooks, but am I terribly late?  I'm sorry, Miss Brooks, but this is vital. How you stretch? Hi, Walter. Think of something good. A knockout. Miss Brooks is editor of the Madison Monitor. I cannot but deplore the disciplinary action taken by Mr. Conklin in forbidding the girls at this school to wear slacks including his own daughter. Well, they would be awfully crowded that way. Now, watch the protest, Walter. You're going to wear that yellow slicker all day? Oh, no, ma'am. I'm going to take it off right now. There. Walter, you got a dress on. My dress? Walter, what in the world are you... It's my protest gesture, Miss Brooks. As editor of the Madison Monitor, I am not only a firm believer in freedom of the press, but in freedom of dress. Hence, I refuse to wear any apparel that is taboo for the diss staff side of Madison. Listen to that guy talk. Walter, you know this won't work. Mr. Conklin's upset enough as it is without your help. I'm sorry, Miss Brooks. This thing is bigger than Mr. Conklin. It's...let me look out the window a minute while I collect my thoughts. That's what Daniel Webster always did before he made a speech. As I look out upon the hallowed grounds of our beloved school, I can't help thinking of the principles upon which it was founded. Well, you sound like Daniel Webster all right, but you look like Betsy Ross. You better take off that dress, Walter. Good morning, Miss Brooks. Mr. Conklin. I was just passing by and wondered if you'd done anything about these outfits. It's not grass. Yes, Mr. Conklin. What's the meaning of that outlandish turban? It's just to cover up a cut, Mr. Conklin. I tied it too tight, but I'll take it off as soon as I can get the knots out. Well, I'll see that you do. And I...ah, who's this over by the window?  A simple black frock with nice green braid trim. What's your name, dear? Come, come, come. I won't bite you. Now, turn around. There. Now, what's your name? Walter Denton. I see. Well, that's a lovely dress you have on Walter. I wish some of... That's a lovely dress you have on Walter. Nothing about Walter. He looks good in anything he wears. Quiet. Denton, what is the meaning of this disgraceful exhibition? It's a protest, sir, against your refusing to let the girls wear slacks. In my opinion... I am not interested in your opinion, Denton. Where did you get that dress? This? Oh, this belongs to Miss Brooks. Miss Brooks? Thanks, Walter. For a minute, I thought I wasn't going to get any billing. But Miss Brooks didn't lend it to me, Mr. Conklin. She'd given it to your daughter Harriet for her sewing class. But when I told Harriet about my protest plan, she gave it to me gladly. I can't believe it. My own flesh and blood mixed up in an aferious scheme like this. I don't see what difference it makes what you wear, as long as you keep learning stuff. Indeed. And Miss Brooks, I believe that 70% is the passing mark in examination. That's right, Mr. Conklin. Tell me, what mark did Denton receive on his English midterm exams? 45. 4. 45.  And you, Snodgrass, what was your mark on the midterms? Well, right before I got to the last question, I broke my pencil. What was your mark, Snodgrass? 9. 9. See, Mr. Conklin, what difference does it make what you wear, as long as you keep learning stuff? For Miss Brooks, starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment. But first, here is Vern Smith. Here's wonderful news, ladies. Wonderful, wonderful news. Now there's something thrillingly new in Pamalee Soap's famous beauty lather. Yes, something thrillingly new. Pamalee's famous beauty lather now brings you new fragrance, new charm, new allure. Millions of women will prefer beauty lather, Pamalee. Over all other leading toilet soaps, the minute they try it. For Pamalee Soap's famous beauty lather now has a new, clean, flower-fresh fragrance for new allure, new charm. So, ladies, forget all other beauty care and use Pamalee Soap the way doctors advised for a lovelier complexion. Just stop improper cleansing and instead wash your face with Pamalee Soap three times a day, massaging Pamalee's wonderful beauty lather onto your skin for 60 seconds each time to get its full, beautifying effect. Then rinse. That's all. All types of skin. Young, older, oily, respond to it quickly. Don't wait another day to try Pamalee's beauty lather. You'll be thrilled by its new fragrance, new charm, new allure. Thrilled again by the fresher, brighter complexion, doctors prove may soon be yours. For new loveliness all over, use big, bass-sized Pamalee in tub or shower. Well, Mr. Conklin finally suspended sentence on Walter and Stretch, but not until he had carved six or seven new notches in his blood pressure. By lunch, I was so dizzy from having been on the ball all morning that after the bell rang, I just sat at my desk with my head in my hands. Excuse me, Miss Brooks. What? Oh, it's Mr. Boynton. I didn't hear you coming, which is very unusual for me. Your door was ajar, so I thought I'd drop in for a minute. Well, do, Mr. Boynton, come on in. I am in. Oh, you can come in further than that. You won't be tagged out if you take both feet off the threshold. I just wanted to ask you to lunch, Miss Brooks. The cafeteria has meatballs today.  I'll be glad to come. That is, if Mr. Conklin isn't up there on an inspection tour... Inspection tour? What do you mean, Miss Brooks? If they know what's good for them, the lamb chops will be wearing trousers instead of those little paper panties. He's really on a close kick, Mr. Boynton. Well, you needn't worry about Mr. Conklin any more today, Miss Brooks. I just saw him a minute ago, and he told me he was going over to the Board of Education to see Mr. Stone. Mr. Stone, the president of the board? Maybe Mr. Conklin's been called up in the carpet. No, the Board of Education hasn't got a carpet. Just nice cement floors and an early American whipping post for naughty teachers. I don't know what this is all about, Miss Brooks, but I'm sure you'll feel a lot better after you've had something to eat. I guess so, Mr. Boynton. Yes, Miss Brooks, we... Oh, hi, Mr. Boynton. Hello, Walter, Stretch. Hi, Mr. Boynton. What can I do for you two that hasn't gotten me into enough trouble already? I just wanted to explain about the dress I borrowed from Harriet that belonged to you. In taking it off, my massive shoulders kind of shredded it. See? Oh, great. Well, it's no good to me now. Just hang it neatly in the nearest wastebasket. We thought maybe you'd want to go to lunch with us, Miss Brooks. Today is Meatball Day. Don't tell me you're going to dress up like meatballs now. Oh, no, Miss Brooks, we're just going to eat. You want to come? Oh, thanks, just the same, Walter, but I promised to have lunch with Mr. Boynton. I'll just close up this desk and we're off for lunch. That's what I say. Just mail me a meatball special delivery. Is it a bad rip, Miss Brooks? Oh, no. Very good. All the way. Any suggestions? This is terribly embarrassing. I'd better go get your sandwich until you can get your skirt repaired. Please bring a sandwich with plenty of lettuce. Lettuce? Yes, I may have to wear some. Walter, you try and find Harriet. She may be able to loan me something to wear. Okay, Miss Brooks, stretch. You stay here and keep Miss Brooks company. Like it back. All right, Walter. Well, here we are. What do you want to do, Miss Brooks? Well, we can't dance, stretch. Let's try to think. That is, let's let me try to think. I got an idea, Miss Brooks. Not so loud. It'll get away. Harriet Conklin always leaves her gym bloomers in your coat room when she's not taking phys ed, doesn't she? Well, yes, I believe she does. Then if you change into them, I could take your skirt up to the domestic science room and have it sewn up by the time lunch period is over. Stretch, I've been underestimating you grossly. I can't for the life of me see how you didn't get a mark of at least 12 on the midterms. How do I look in Harriet's gym bloomers? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Get it up real close to the desk like this and nobody'll know the difference. Well, I'll take the skirt over the... Oh, we meet again. Oh, hello, Mr. Conklin. This is an informal call, Miss Brooks. You needn't bother rising. Don't worry, I won't.  I just wanted to tell you, Snotgrass, what are you doing with that skirt over your arm? Skirt? Now, see here, young man. I've had about enough protest gestures for one day, hand it over. Oh, but Mr. Conklin, it doesn't belong to him. Then to whom does it belong? It belongs to him, all right. He looks lovely in it. This has been a very confusing day for me, but I'm trying to control myself. Hand over the skirt, boy. Or better yet, take it to my office and wait for me. I want to talk to you about that bandana you failed to remove. Yes, sir. Goodbye, Miss Brooks. I stopped in to tell you, Miss Brooks, that I've just received a call from the president of the Board of Education cancelling my appointment over there. You did? I did. Instead, Mr. Stone is coming here. He is? He is. He's going to personally inspect both the student body and the faculty. The faculty? The faculty. There seems to be an echo in here. It must be the deep inkwells. I cannot impress upon you two vehemently, therefore, the necessity for the ultimate in neatness and simplicity of apparel. Do I make myself clear? You make yourself clear, Mr. Conklin. Good. Good.  I don't like to threaten people, Miss Brooks, but you've got to tow the mug. Oh, please don't bang on my desk, Mr. Conklin. You'll get a fistful of splinters. Oh, I'm sorry. I mustn't lose control. But you've got... Oh, excuse me. I'm not... Not your pen after this. Oh, don't bend down. I'll get it for you, Mr. Conklin. Don't bother. No bother, no bother at all. I'll just kneel down here and I'll get... Good heaven! This floor is filthy. Look at the knees of my trousers, dust and chalk marks. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Conklin. Let me see if I can reach that panel. There's an easy way, Miss Brooks. The desk is on casters. We'll just roll it out of the way. Good, Mr. Conklin, you... Ah, here it is. Now I... Miss Brooks. What are you doing in those bloomers? Well, it's like this, Mr. Conklin. On Decoration Day, the drama class is putting on a play. Poppycock. No, sir. Snow White in the Seven Dwarves. And I've been asked to play the part of the prince and dress rehearsal is right after school. More Poppycock. Yes, sir. The truth is I ripped my skirt on this splendidly old desk and just put these on till I could get something else. My goodness, Mr. Conklin, that could happen to anyone. Then why doesn't it? No, Miss Brooks, these things only happen to you. Hear me? I'm going over to my office now and wait for Mr. Stone. And you'd better get something to put on besides those... those black laundry bags. And so, Snodgrass, nuts or no nuts, Mr. Stone must not see you wearing that bizarre headdress.  Yes, sir. I'll cut it off with his scissors. What's the errand you want to run for me, sir? Oh, I want you to run one for me. I want you to take my trousers over to the Domestic Science class and tell Miss Atterbury to sponge the chalk marks off the knees and give them a neat pressing. Now, you just stand right outside the door here and I'll drop the trousers over the trance. All right, Mr. Conklin. Are you directly under the trance? Yes, sir. Good. I'll just be a minute. How are you, Stretch? Hello, Harriet. Did you find anything for Miss Brooks, Walter? Not a thing that would fit her, Stretch. Excuse me, Walter, but isn't that Mr. Stone's car pulling up in front of the school? Yeah, I think it is. Mr. Stone? Gee, I'd better beat it. I don't want him to catch me in this bandana. I'll come back after I cut it off. What's wrong? I don't see why all this fuss is being made over what we wear. Well, that's not important right now, Harriet. I wish to heaven we could find something for Miss Brooks to wear. She's the one who re... Oh, Walter, something just landed on your head. What do you know? It's a pair of pants. I'm gonna take him over to Miss Brooks right away. But I don't... Harriet, please. Who are we to argue with heaven? See, but they're better than the bloomers. You look like an ad for trims in those slacks, Miss Brooks. Real slim. Of course, you don't fill them out all over, but why don't you take a couple of geography books and put them in there? Never mind. I'll get them until I can get my torn skirt out of Mr. Conklin's office and have it fixed.  Well, I cut the bandana off. Now I can... Say, what are you doing in Mr. Conklin's pants, Miss Brooks? Mr. Conklin's pants? Yeah. I was gonna get him pressed for him, but Mr. Stone came by and... Walter, this is awful. You took Daddy's trousers, and now he must be marooned in his office in his shorts. Gee, I'm sorry, Harriet, but I didn't know they were his. Oh, well, calm down, kids. We'll get everything straightened out. I beg your pardon. But is this Miss Brooks' room? Mr. Stone. Well, yes, sir. I'm Miss Brooks. We've met several times. In fact, I spent my Easter vacation working at the Board of Education. Miss Brooks, do you always dress this way at school? Oh, no, sir. I dress this way all the time. That is, these even aren't my trousers. I... They're not hers, Mr. Stone. They belong to Mr. Conklin. Mr. Conklin? But how does he feel about you wearing his trousers? Chilly. He must be pretty annoyed, Mr. Stone, but I'm... Right now, you're coming across the hall to his office, Miss Brooks. Oh, but Mr. Stone, Mr. Conklin doesn't expect us. Somebody ought to go on ahead of... I'll go, Miss Brooks.  Now, then, Miss Brooks, after you. You certainly are. I'm coming, Mr. Stone. Here's the door to his office. Now go on in. I'd better knock first. No! Wait, please. Don't stand there, Miss Brooks. Go on in. Pardon me, Mr. Conklin, but I was forced to see you right away.  And in my trousers! Where did you? How did you? How did you? Just a moment, Osgood. No, Mr. Stone. You should not berate Miss Brooks for what she's wearing, Osgood. After all, you've got a badly torn skirt on, Osgood. I were you. A badly torn skirt on Osgood. What is the meaning of this? I can explain everything, Mr. Stone. You can?  I know you can, Miss Brooks. Go ahead. Explain it. You see, Mr. Stone, each year on Decoration Day, the drama club gives a play. This year it's called It Also Happens to You. Isn't that right, Mr. Conklin? Anything.  It also happens to me. What about this play? Well, faculty and students both take part, and Mr. Conklin's going to act in one of the very important scenes, a scene called Poppycock on Parade. Yes, yes, that's it. It's a beautiful scene, it's a lovely scene. A destroyed skirt. What has this torn skirt done? There's a rehearsal right after school in full costume. I was just getting ready. That's right, Mr. Stone. Mr. Conklin plays the part of a lonely native girl on Poppycock Island. It's one of the Hawaiian group. One of the smaller ones. What is all this? If you're pulling my leg, I'll... Oh, I don't think Mr. Stone has convinced your athespian, Mr. Conklin. Perhaps you'd better do the little dance you do in the show. Dance?  I'll supply the music, Mr. Conklin. Oh, you love this, Mr. Stone? It's then to the theme song of the play. It also happens to you. Poof, Mr. Conklin. Brooks returns in just a moment, but first... Tonight, show him how much lovelier your hair can look after a luster cream shampoo. Only luster cream brings U.K. Dumas magic formula blend of secret ingredients plus gentle lanolin. Gives loveliness lather even in hardest water. Glamourizes your hair as you wash it. Luster cream, not a soap, not a liquid, but a dainty cream shampoo.

And now, once again, here is our Miss Brooks. Well, Mr. Conklin was so grateful to me for getting him out of his embarrassing situation that he canceled all punishments and the entire matter was dropped. That night, I was sitting in the living room with Mrs. Davis when the phone rang. And of all people, it was Mr. Stone. About that play the drama club is putting on, Miss Brooks. Will you be kind enough to hold a dozen seats for me? I'm bringing the entire board of education. The entire board of education? Yes. I want them to see us good Conklin do that dance in that costume. I'll be looking forward to seeing you too, Miss Brooks. Where will you be after the show? Mr. Stone, if Mr. Conklin does that dance in that costume, I'll be swimming like mad for Poppycock Island.

Okay, let's get started. The Design Development Review Commission is made up of volunteers with expertise or interest in historic preservation and design. We generally meet on the second Thursday of the month to review cases. Staff to the commission are our urban design and historic preservation staff. They are available to answer questions if you have them, but please do not interrupt proceedings if you do indeed need to speak with one of them. The meeting generally proceeds with the staff calling the case and describing it. I will call for the applicant to come forward afterward to add to the basic description of the request if necessary or the applicant wishes to do so. If so, the applicant should keep the presentation to 10 minutes or less. The commissioners will then have the opportunity to ask questions. At this point, I will ask if there is anyone in the audience who wishes to speak for or against the proposal. Audience comments shall be kept to 2 minutes per person. If there is, the applicant will have an opportunity to respond and this rebuttal shall not exceed 5 minutes. In most cases, we will make a decision tonight after all information has been presented. If your case is denied and if you feel that our decision was made an error, you and anyone with standing have the opportunity to appeal it within 30 days of the decision. If you plan to speak about a specific project, you must have signed in, the sheet is at the back of the room. Also, and so that members of the public understand, commissioners are under strict instructions to avoid discussing DDRC meetings and applications with members of the public or with each other outside of these proceedings to avoid ex-party communications. So if you wish to speak during the course of these proceedings, please stand and raise your right hand. You affirm to tell the truth in these proceedings. Okay. Could we have the roll please? Mr. Botnite. Here. Mr. Daniel. Here. Ms. Fuller-Wilt. Here. Mr. Nguyen. Here. Mr. Savery. Here. We have a quorum. Great. Does the agenda still stand? There have been a couple of changes since publication. On the historic agenda, case listed as number three, which would, or five, excuse me, 2730 Cypress Street, which is a request for certificate of design approval for exterior changes and addition. And the old Shandon Lower Waverly Protection Area A has been withdrawn. And case number six, 140 South Walker Street, request for certificate of design approval for demolition in the Shandon community character area has been deferred. Thank you. And moving on to the consent agenda. The DDRC utilizes a consent agenda for those projects which require DDRC review but which meet the guidelines and typically require no discussion. If anyone wishes to discuss an item on the consent agenda, I will ask that you speak up after the consent agenda is read and we can pull the item for discussion on to the regular agenda. Staff, staff could please read the consent agenda. The first case is 1701 Pendleton Street. This is a request for certificate of design approval for an addition in the University Architectural Conservation District. Case two is 3421 to 3423 North Main Street. This is a request for certificate of design approval for new construction in the North Main Quarter Waverly District. And case number three is 1000 Hampton Street. Request for a preliminary certification of the Baileyville. This is an individual landmark. And also this will include the approval of the April Mets. Does anyone wish to take an item off the consent agenda for discussion? If not, is there a motion to approve the consent agenda and the meeting minutes? Second. Have a vote please. Mr. Botknight. Yes. Mr. Daniel. Yes. Ms. Fuller-Wilt. Yes. Mr. Nguyen. Yes. Mr. Savery. Yes. Mission passes. And our first case please. We'll go ahead for the record that the minutes will be. Okay. I asked for that in the motion. The first case, this is on the urban design agenda, is 1041 Marion Street. This is in the City Center Design Development District, and is a request for certificate of design approval for the replacement of storefront. Claire Tower is a 12-story residential tower with first floor retail space designed by Lyle's visit Carlisle and Wolfe completed in 1949. The building is a good example of mid-century modern architecture and retains most of its original features which represent popular modern building technologies and materials of the period. Included in your packet is a brief excerpt about the firm from a research report by Lydia Brandt South Carolina architecture seminar at USC. It reads, based in Columbia, LBC&W is the South's preeminent architecture firm for 30 years following World War II. The firm designed some of the state's and certainly Columbia's most notable buildings in a range of interpretations of modernism. LBC&W was able to transform the built environment of the South into a modernist landscape. Their magnitude and versatility coupled with their atypical organizational structure and breadth of work gave them the competitive edge needed to reshape the skyline of the South time and time again. The application is a request to replace the existing storefront with a bronze colored framing to match the Marion Street entrance that was replaced previously. The staff was unable to find a permit or a certificate of design approval on file, so it is unclear when the front door and the adjacent storefront and trim were replaced. And then following are the relevant guidelines from section 5.9 of the city center design development guidelines. When an existing structure is to be renovated or expanded, care should be taken to complete the work in a manner that respects the original design character of the structure. The appropriate design guidelines in the section are to be implemented whenever a structure is to be renovated or expanded. And under 5.9.3, the third bullet is where the original storefront is completely missing. Extensive remodeling has occurred. The first priority is to reconstruct the storefront based on historical, pictorial, and physical documentation. If that is not practical, the design of the new storefront should be compatible with the size, scale, proportion, material and color of the existing structure. While the thin aluminum framing that is currently in place is consistent with storefronts of this time period, it is clear that the existing storefront has most likely been completely replaced. In the historical photographs, there appear to be several storefront entrances on the first level, three on both main-center and at least an additional one on Marian, close to the corner. The concrete sidewalks still lead up to the glass in these locations. Currently, there are fewer storefront doors, and the ones that do exist are framed differently than what is shown in the photos. Since all of the evidence suggests that the storefront is not original, and since it is in very poor condition, the staff recommendation is to allow for replacement with a similar material in pain configuration as the original, and what we historical photographs. The applicant's request is to replace the storefront with a wider profile dark bronze in a dyes framing and a narrow narrower pain configuration than what currently exist. Staff denied this request and that it was found not to meet the guidelines in section 5.9.3 storefront renovation of the city center design development guidelines. The recommendation to the commission is for allowable replacement with a thin profile silver colored framing with as few seams as possible aligning the seams with the columns. I believe the applicant is here to present their case. Did the applicant come forward if he would like? I guess not. Okay I think we are then going to move into deliberation. One question that looks like it's just a mishmash of a whole bunch of different things on the front nail. Currently. Their proposal is to replace everything that's there except for the bronze existing door that was placed a few years ago. That's correct. Would this be on the rear side too or just the three sides that are visible? I think all the storefront that is on the building. So yeah it's almost all visible from the right away. Any other comments? Well I would like to say for the record that I agree with staff's recommendation and although perhaps the building doesn't at first blush seem as if it's a historic building it very much is. It's over 50 years old and very much is a absolutely prime example. 1949. Prime example of a mid-century modern building in Columbia that is eligible for the national register without any doubt. Liles of the Carolina Wolf was to this day still probably the most prominent firm that has ever existed in Columbia and one of the most prominent firms that's ever existed in the southeast and this was one of their very very first projects. So I think it's very important that new work that's done on the building should as much as possible emulate the original detailing and materials that were on the building. So I completely agree with staff's assessment and recommendation. What was the applicant's consideration of the recommendation for silver colored framing? My understanding and I haven't actually spoken with the building owner. I believe they live out of state. So the applicant is the glass company that was that they were working with in order to replace the storefront. So we've actually had very little communication. I mean they have the staff evaluation and the recommendations and they just they submitted their application as an appeal. Basically this would have been a staff level approval if they had you know replacing storefront on a building in city center that's not a historic district or a landmark building. It had been done at the staff level if it followed the guidelines. But since they wanted to do something that staff found was inconsistent with the guidelines they basically appealed the staff denial to the commission to try to get that approved. So I mean I'm surprised I thought they were going to be here but I haven't had any correspondence since we sent them the evaluation. I believe Friday or Monday. Okay. Thank you. Should we defer to next month or just press on? No, they must have Harris's Outlook calendar. So let me ask a question about the about the emotion that I'm about to ask. You have really two different things here. One is recommendation of denial of the request. The other is a recommendation for something that would be allowable. Are we are we able to make a motion based on what would be allowable at this point so that you can move forward or how do you think so? I guess I was hoping that the glass company being the applicant was going to be here to answer technical questions about maybe what they could do. I mean technically the request was denied by staff. So the application as presented I mean the other request is to deny that but I think it is reasonable to replace the storefront because it isn't original and because it is in poor condition and just would recommend that whatever that is as close as possible to what we can tell. And you're comfortable that if we were to make a recommendation for allowable replacement that that could be that's narrow enough to be handled by staff. I think so. Okay. Is any commissioner interested in making that motion? I'll make it. I would recommend that we deny the request for the Palmyter State Glasses requests for wider profile of dark bronze aren't as framing on the set 4 to 1041 Marion Street address as it is not in compliance with the guidelines in section 5.9.3 storefront renovations of the city center design development guidelines. I would also propose or recommend that they be allowed to work with staff for allowable replacement of a thin profile silver colored framing with as few seams as possible aligning the seams with the columns. Second. Any discussion? Have a vote please. Mr. Boknight. Mr. Daniel. Yes. Mr. Will. Yes. Mr. Wynn. Yes. Mr. Savory. Yes. Motion passes. Thank you. Next case. The next case is 1111 Bull Street and this is a request for certificate of design approval for new signage. This also is an appeal to a staff decision in the city center of design development district. So this case is the WIS TV studio building and for new signage or it's replacement signage. Currently there are two signs on each side or each street facing elevation. One each for WIS News 10 and one for Ray Com media. All four signs are routed aluminum wall signs with halo illumination consistent with the city center design development guidelines. Let's come out of recess. Okay. Okay. So currently there are four signs on the building. They're routed aluminum wall signs with halo illumination consistent with the city center design development guidelines which were permitted in 2015. The new signs are the same size and in the same location. The changes include Ray Com media's new logo as well as the proposed change that all four signs will be internally illuminated acrylic based channel letters. Staff found the proposal being consistent with the design guidelines and denied the request. This is an appeal to the staff decision below are the relevant sign design guidelines for city center. The following materials are recommended for signs in city center. Metal etched formed etched cast engraved and properly primed and painted or factory coated. Custom neon tubing in the form of graphics or lettering may be incorporated into several of the above permitted sign types. Individually mounted internally illuminated channel letters and internally illuminated plastic based cabinet signs are discouraged. Eternally illuminated channel letters and other plastic or acrylic materials for signs are not allowed in city center. The only exceptions are when the skyline provisions are triggered. This is a sign at the top of a multi-story building more than five stories tall. And then illumination. If the sign can be illuminated by an indirect source of light this is usually the best arrangement because the sign will appear to be better integrated with the building's architecture. Light fixture supported in front of the structure has light on the sign and generally a portion of the face of the structure as well. Indirect lighting emphasizes the continuity of the structure surface and signs become an integral part of the facade. Backlighted solid letters are a preferred alternative to internally illuminated letter signs. Signs comprised of opaque individually cut letters mounted directly on the structure can often use a distinctive element of the structure facade as a backdrop thereby providing a better integration of the sign with the structure. The internally illuminated channel letters are inconsistent with the design guidelines. Alternatives to illumination could be indirect lighting, halo illumination similar to what is existing or exposed neon tubing. And then 6.3 wall signs. Signs should be located where architectural features or details suggest a location size or shape for the sign. The best location for a wall sign continues to be a band or blank area between the first and second floors of the building. This building does not lend itself to wall signs as it is a style that is not typical of urban commercial businesses. While acknowledging this fact staff has consistently approved signs in the current locations as they're not any other areas that are suited for signage and it is the area between the first and second floors as recommended by the guidelines. Staff recommends approval of the request for certificate design approval for all four signs conditional upon revising the method of illumination to reflect the recommendations of the city center design development guidelines. And the applicant is Hugh Jacobs and is here to present there. Your name for the in the microphone please. Hugh Jacobs, design director at WIS-TV. I'm with Lyle Shelsey, the general manager at WIS-TV. Three years ago when Lyle came to WIS he realized we didn't have any logos on our building. It had not had them there for 62 years. I have myself had always wondered why we didn't have any more than just the letters WIS-TV on the wall to designate our location. We're often having to call people up and when they were coming to visit us I'd have to give them specific directions and tell them the building with the columns in front. So having the logos on our building to let people know who we were and where we were we felt it was a very great addition to a building. We applied then to have internally illuminated letters for our signs. We used a company named Sinerama out of Orangeburg. They did the presentation to y'all. We returned down and we decided to do the, as y'all suggested, the backlit channel letters. The problem with that especially at night is we have a big tin in our logo which is a large box to merely have it as backlit. We were afraid at night it would just look like a big box that was backlit. You wouldn't be able to see the tin which is our main part of our logo. So we went ahead with the backlit and it just didn't pop out.  Whereas we were, we did get the push through acrylic for the tin approved. However that is kind of a bluish cool white whereas the rest of the white was a warm color and there's a dichotomy between the two colors. It just looks, they look different like they're two different signs. So Raycom changed the logo in December. We knew we had to get a new sign put up. Their logo and where it's white and yellow and as you can see the letters are very narrow. So when we decided, when we realized we had to put up a new Raycom logo, we decided we probably should see if we could get internally illuminated letters. Hopefully to make our logo show up better in the evening especially the Raycom logo. When we had that problem the first time when we were not happy with the backlit letters, we were told that we could put acrylic or metal backing on the two logos to get a little more reflection off of the backlighting. The problem was that was then we would have these huge dark black or brick colored plaques behind our logos which we felt took away from our building during the daytime because you would be covering up most of the brick between the two windows on both sides. So we ruled against that. We were told we could build lights off of the top of our building but when we went in and photoshopped and looked at what the lights hanging off, you know pulling down off of the top of the building, we weren't real happy with how that would look from the street. So we're just when we decided to do this we we decided to look at the your regulations and we we did see that and talked to several people also that although you discourage internally illuminated letters, it's not we couldn't find that it was actually not completely not allowed. We don't feel like the internally lit letters would be we actually think that would look better than what we have up there at night at night now. We don't think it's out of keeping with the character of downtown Columbia. It's not we don't think it's garish or gaudy. We think it actually look nice and more elegant than what we have now. So we're just asking to be allowed to use internally illuminated letters if possible. Thank you. Is there anybody here who would like to speak in support or opposition to the applicant proposal? Okay. Comments from the commissioners please. Staff can you put back the present there's a picture here that shows what's proposed do we have one that shows I write about all the time but I don't remember. You don't you don't have one at night that shows existing do you? No there's not a there's not one that shows the current nighttime illumination. I took pictures at night. They didn't look any the photos no matter what I how I took on or the lighting I used I couldn't get them to actually replicate what they look like at night so I did not include them in this. I guess the question for staff that he's raised is in 6.2.2 it does say individually mounted internally illuminated channel letters and internally illuminated plastic face cabinet signs or discourage. Further comments it stated that these are not allowed in city center so I think one or the other is wrong they don't seem to. Well I guess I'll just chalk it up to I mean these guidelines were written 20 years ago and I think that most of staff would agree that the word discouraged is really unfortunate because it's not clear and in order for us to be clear making decisions at the staff level we don't allow for them so we have never written staff level approvals for internally illuminated channel letters since since the district was in put in place that I'm aware of so that's kind of that's just again a consistent look at this pre-interpretation of what we actually have to follow and it all it says is discouraged. Right so I mean I guess the argument would be like like like the evaluation says the only exceptions have been at the top of a multi-story building where you literally couldn't see any other type of illumination so those of where exceptions are made I mean I guess discouraged is a word that when you have to do something with that so we we discourage it we don't we don't permit them at the staff level which is why the board is here to make those kinds of exceptions if you feel that this warrants an exception. Well I know that I mean from being involved when the guidelines were being written 20 years ago that there is always the the sort of friend to go to should language rather than channel language you know for obvious reasons the guidelines are always a matter of interpretation that's why you know we're sitting here so I think discouraged I mean the meaning of the word is clear it's not shall not but it's discouraged and I think the other question for the commission is the question of precedent you know I think it's you can talk about the effect of what this would the effect that this would have on this building in this particular case but as as Lucinda mentioned it's a matter of looking back at previous precedent but also looking forward at the future if we continue to set a precedent what kind of precedent we feel is appropriate as a commission so I think that's that's an important consideration. Other comments or questions? Sure when I was looking through the reasons that it was discouraged the main reason that I could find was that it might have too much illumination on nearby residences which I can understand but we don't have anybody living on either side of the street from WIS so that was the only definite reason or for discouragement of having internally eliminated letters that I could find and the laws rulings that I've found online. Thanks. Thanks. Any other comments? I have a couple questions or the we're talking about all four signs is the WIS News 10 sign is that essentially the same? The sign looks the same I mean during the day it's just the type of illumination is different so the actual graphics and the logo have not changed on that one but it is currently Halo illuminated so this would be more like a you know internally illuminated face. Thank you and then the is the current Raycom sign is that are those channel letters on a raceway or just channel letters individually attached to the building? I believe those are individually known. Okay. Also Halo the current ones. Okay and then just just so I'm clear I think we're talking about whether they're reversal it or facelift?  Okay thank you. Would you like to make a motion this for me? Were you sworn in? All right. Were you sworn in? No I was not. Did you sign in? Well did you swear to tell the truth in the proceedings? Okay and state your name please. Lyle Scholes the general manager of WIS. I just wanted to make the point that what we're doing here is not any different than what's up there right now largely. I mean the significance of the change will be minimal. Our our logo is our representative of our business not our building so it's significant that we have our logo on the building the other significance to this is our company changed its logo which hadn't been changed in 25 years so it was the motivation behind it and that's all I wanted to say that there will be no notable to anybody who crosses paths with Bull Street and Jervay every day changed to what we're doing other than this Raycom logo really changing that's all thank you thank you I do have another question please if we are in fact making a substitution then I would tend to feel is an improvement is there precedent or well allowing one in the same to proceed what staff has said is that there's not that it hasn't been allowed before okay correct is that right correct I'm not aware of any exceptions that have been made for this particular one again except for the skyline provisions which those have been done at the staff level so I think I mean the the recommendation from staff would be particularly with the Raycom I think then the night time picture I think that type of illumination could be achieved with an exposed type of neon tuning which is in line with the guidelines as opposed to having an acrylic base and you know the concern of courses like you said making an exception if it's made that's up to the commission but I think the condition or the reason for that should be clear so that we're not just opening the door for every business who wants one you know to have one I actually did have another question is how much how much yard do you have from the face of the building to the sidewalk about five feet okay but it could be done but you could I mean it could be done it could be done okay I just want to clarify that any more comments before we look to a motion are you ready you want to I mean a hot seat somebody else crafted one I make the motion that we I'm sorry if you want to you can just if it fits you can read the staff recommendation and amend that in any way you care to okay I'll make the motion that we approve the applicant's request for a certificate of design approval for the new signs at 1111 and on 1111 Bull Street and 1416 Gervais Street I would make the motion that we approve them as submitted based on the particular exception that to me they look here to be presented almost distinctly the same except for the change of the rachom sign I don't really know how to craft this I need to clarify I'll circuit that motion any discussion well I think that there's I think that the whether or not it's an acceptable difference there's a significant difference in the fact that the signs glow I don't think it's I think we should characterize it as being no difference I think during the day it's not going to be much different but I think the evening shots that we see here are they're clearly different so I think that we need to acknowledge that well we're in the middle of deliberation before the vote so we have a second on the motion so I guess it's the upper down on that and if it doesn't pass then we have a new motion exactly right so and if there aren't the other comments we need to take a vote Mr. Bocknight Mr. Cohn yes Mr. Daniel yes Ms. Fuller-Wilt no Mr. Wynn yes Mr. Savery no I have a tie tie okay we need another motion can I have if you want to do I would make a motion that we approve the request for certificate of design approval for all four signs conditional upon revising the method of illumination to reflect the recommendations of the city center design development guidelines any discussion on this one clarify well there are several different ways to light the signs the applicant has there are some ways that the applicant doesn't want you know we prefer not to do it but the the motion leaves open for further discussion with staff as to how to create a lighting effect so that could be within the guidelines and staff correct me if I'm wrong but that could be lighting either they discussed from the roof that don't prefer that it could be lighting from the ground it could be backlighting similar to what they have now so the the the motion is to allow staff to work with the applicant on arriving at a solution that still offers illumination of the signs but not but they're if I if I may add also um I would recommend staff to consider the um conditional method of illumination to consider that the there is that five-foot distance from the street side to the building side to where these signs would be illuminated this is not like being in the heart of the vista up against the pedestrian right of way etc um I think that should be taken into consideration as well one might make a choice my concern too is that the neon signs have tended to be brighter than the led if that's we have installed those in the past in my experience the brightness is a limp for the board if illumination in the intensity of is an issue I think what's on here potentially is something that's actually working against what the concern is I think I mean my understanding of it there there are different concerns the like um acrylic cabinet signs you know that's I think the the issue comes in when you against that a precedent and we start to get multiple things along a streetscape and it's just you know you have more glowing boxes and more glowing letters and it just so it's not necessarily just brightness I mean there are a lot of I mean that the guidelines specifically say neon is allowed it's just a material that's allowed so we just we allow those it may be a little bit brighter but it's not the same as like an and they also talk a lot about the facing you know plastic facing it's a materials and an illumination issue there's other types of illumination that wouldn't include a plastic or acrylic type face so we're sort of dealing in some ways with two I guess violations of the guidelines so it's the internally eliminated part but it's also the plastic facing part so exposed neon would provide I think a brighter answer but it wouldn't it would be in line with the guidelines again I think in my mind I'm most concerned about precedent about future implications on future signage well anyway any other comments before we move to a vote okay let's try this one Mr. Boknight yes Mr. Cohn no Mr. Daniel no Miss Fuller-Wilt yes Mr. Wen no Mr. Savery yes and we have another tie somebody else has another idea we need another motion or further discussion before we make a motion we've got two camps here one that it did I don't know how we meet in the middle or then send it back to staff to continue to work with the applicant which is what the last motion was no but that's why we're here with an even number of people yeah does somebody have another motion or another thought so I can prepare something so I wouldn't do the decision but that's something that we could come back next month with actual images of what it would look like in the different areas and so that we actually know what we're voting and I do think it's a precedent setting aspect just to be able to excuse me about staff recommendation or something I can turn this as well. Falling up on her comments I mean if we could have something that maybe shows what it looks like now I mean I ride by it all the time but quite frankly you know just to sign I haven't really highlighted on maybe I mean they provided what they think it's going to look like right uh maybe we have an example of what it looks like now although that's still not the kind of sign they want to put up in the future. I mean we can certainly if that's I mean if the commission decides to defer this to get that information we can certainly provide that I think I think that doesn't really change I mean the proposal is to do this which is an exception to the guideline so um I mean certainly it would be a comparison of what's there now although I would still say that there are other ways to eliminate the sign not just what's currently there and not just what's being proposed but there are other options that could certainly provide more elimination. Maybe that's where we need to be is what other alternatives are there? Well I guess that there's two that we've already discussed one of them is external elimination so some type of spotlight and those could be done multiple ways on the top of the building on the grass on the ground it could even be there's like little almost like the ones you see on a piece of art that actually shine down on the the logo there is exposed neon there's all kinds of technology that I probably don't even know about with sign companies I mean there's lots of different options out there probably stuff that's not specifically addressed by our guidelines that are 20 years old but certain things you know pretty I mean I think there's newer versions of exposed neon that may not that may be more technologically advanced that have that same look. I mean you know this looking at these images I I mean I don't I don't find them offensive although they are brighter than what's there now and that certainly will be the case at night in terms of way finding we all drive by Google these days so I you know I think that there's signage is already there but I think aside from that in my mind what I envision is if we approve this then another applicant will come with signs that are eight feet by ten feet that are fully lit and bright and we don't have information we typically don't get information about you know the foot candles of the sign this I think potentially I don't think it would potentially open the door to a next applicant or the one after that asking for something that's much much more intrusive than than this sign it so my understanding from what staff has said is that to their knowledge this kind of technology this kind of sign has not been so far approved if we approve it then I think we need to assume that we are future you know commissions will have to approve it again so I you know that's my my my concern is really based on precedent and future implications and I guess my concern is the guidelines say are discouraged but that's what's in writing if there's a problem with that it needs to be updated to reflect does it date from our knowledge no that's true too but I that's my concern to have to make a judgment I think if it was 20 years ago to one of the concerns used to be that most of those signs were lit fluorescently or with neon tubes that used to go out I think the technology's kind of surpassed the potential of this this guideline but I think there's also there there is the materials issue I mean these internally made signs do have acrylic faces and that is also that's even more clear in the guidelines that that's something that you know is not I forget the language but I mean I guess I would argue if discouraged is not the same language as not allowed but at the same time I feel like if it's discouraged then there should be a real reason why the commission would approve something that's discouraged I mean aside from just this is what the applicant is asking for I think we'd have I think for not to be a precedent for future cases we'd have to exactly explain why this why this particular application gets an exception I don't see a particular reason that it would get an exception that then wouldn't apply to future applications my last point would just be I think in this particular instance we're almost substituting equal signs equal size signs that appear to be the same you're right about that it's not like they're coming for something significantly different or that is arguably less attractive than what's there now well I don't think it's the size the CSU or even the graphics because I think you're absolutely right about that it's the fact that it will you know completely glow from inside I mean I think the end it's the you know the acrylic material it's just something that it's it's it's in the original language of the guidelines that is discouraged and I'm not saying that you know that I'm not making a value judgment on the guidelines themselves I'm just saying that it has been discouraged in the past this type of signage hasn't been hasn't been approved if we think that it's time to change that that's another statement or you know if we think that there's an exception whereas this can be you know we can we can approve this but it's not going to apply to maybe future applications that seem to be garish and seem to be outside of the spirit of the guidelines then we can state that that exception exists in this particular case but I don't know what the exception would be let me these may be entirely different situations but St. Peter's has a sign at the corner of their church across the library that is more of a sign to show what events are going on at that facility how is that one lit in relation to how this one is lit I believe that's like a message board an LED message board yes and those have been allowed on occasion but that is not an it's not an internally illuminated you know acrylic face sign I mean message boards have been allowed again that was something that wasn't specifically addressed in the guidelines but they do have a dark background and individual you know like LED lights like I mean it's just a different type of sign it's a different material it's a different type of illumination and I think too I guess if I'm not mistaken please correct me or refresh my memory we recently had a bank located in the city center that was internally illuminated did we not you had a request a request decision and that request was for two things it was for the size it was the height of the free standing sign right it was street level materials and internally illumination the request for the internally illumination was not granted they are doing an aluminum sign and there was the height was brought down I don't remember off the top of my head what the height was I guess again just as a thinking about exceptions and what those might be typically have to do with context some type of context that's different that doesn't apply to other properties you know this is a they have it's a corner property it has two major street frontages and the sign is between the first and second floor which is generally where signage is recommended to be so I guess thinking about future signs this is a very common placement for signs in a very visible location if it were a business that were maybe you know at the back of some parking lot where they're just you know you literally couldn't see it that to me feels like a sort of reasonable unique situation where they're you know so I guess that concerns me because it's this is a very visible corner with a very prominent location and a very typical placement for signage so let's go back to that one that's the nbsc at finnerton and sumpter and that is it's not an internally maybe it's internally it's aluminum cabinet with push-through letters which are allowed so and that's that's always been allowed aluminum-facing it is at a major corner similar to this location right I'll make a suggested motion and let's just just see what happens I'll make my being heard I'll make the motion to support staff's recommendation approval of a request for certificate of design approval for all four signs conditional upon revising the method of illumination to reflect the recommendations of the city center design development guidelines pertinent to section six point two point two there a second I can't now sorry I will I will second any further discussion let me let me add that onto that in keeping with the recent decision in the nbsc new sign at the corner of sumpter and pinnerton street in which internally illuminated letter signs were not approved second second second the amendment any further discussion before we vote let's have a vote mr bach knight yes mr cone no mr daniel yes miss fuller will yes mr win yes mr savory yes mission passes okay thank you thank you next staff can review it with you and I think they're very clear on it and make sure I don't want to make a mistake thank you next case please so this is 1633 1635 main street it's a request for recommendation for landmark status as a request for landmark status the commission is asked to make a recommendation for approval or denial to city council at city council will have the final decision on whether or not this building becomes a landmark this particular building was constructed in 1873 by john c seegers as a saloon staff has found that this particular building meets group three landmark status for criteria one and five criteria one states the site of events or homes of men etc that are interesting locally and this building was owned by seegers and his partner and son-in-law seegers was a prominent businessman locally um the 1800s he owned property on main street that was destroyed in the fire in 1865 so building this building was part of the reconstruction of main street after that fire seegers was a prominent in several businesses he um he owned ice factories bottling plants breweries and saloons so specifically in the liquor manufacturing business which was popular especially along the 1600 block of main street and so this particular building was a saloon uh operated as a saloon until the liquor laws changed in 1892 which prohibited all but the government from selling and manufacturing liquor but even after that seegers remained a prominent and prosperous columbian through his other business ventures so staff has found that as a building that has connections with prominent businessmen and is part of the reconstruction of main street and meets this criteria um this building is also one of two buildings that remain as part of um the seegers family enterprises they built several buildings all throughout columbia with their businesses and only this building in the building next door remain as part of that today it also meets criteria five criteria five states that it's evidencing evidencing one or more criteria of group two but to decrepit or destructively modified to constitute a prime historic document um the building was recently renovated to go back to its original appearance you can see in the image here but through several renovations throughout the years it was drastically altered as you can see in the photograph and a lot of the original historic material was lost so the side you see today is a reconstruction which is why it's not considered a prime historic document but it does meet the criteria for five so staff finds that it meets criteria one and five of the city ordinance and uh first

john segers didn't build it um but the one thing that i wanted to tell y'all because i know y'all like little little cute fun things when we got down in the building after we bought it and john sharer went with us and we decided it didn't have a termite contract you didn't have anything on it you know so we were exploring what was down there we went down and i noticed a difference in the coloration of the basement which is just a dugout like passageway when you walk into it i said what's the difference with this and he said martha do you know what that is and i said i'm asking you and he said that's the burn line from when the whole town burned and you walk through this basement that's dug out dirt and you see the whole line of where the town burned and dissolved into a foot of different color material so if you're very in the dry cleaner ask microsoft yeah because i think it's pretty cool thank you any comments the criteria one i don't know what the criteria but i think that's what

What's up everybody it's Daria welcome back to psych2go today's video is gonna be a little bit different and I'm just gonna be telling you guys 10 tips on how to make YouTube videos so for those interested and interested in this channel on how video making even works listen on if you want to know more number one just start filming the only way you'll really learn on how to make videos is really just by starting you need to practice and practice and keep failing and keep failing until you can get that perfect or almost perfect video out so just start and whatever it is you're filming it'll be beneficial to and every youtuber possible has never had the most perfect video when they first started and that's a fact number two practice editing if you have windows find a free program that you can start practicing with such as movie maker and if you have a Mac use iMovie as you started filming just put together the video and just start playing around with the system and try to get more comfortable with it as you start and I think it's the most interesting thing to watch your editing skills grow throughout all your videos that you make number three be yourself it may sound so cliche but it's the honest truth that every youtuber will tell you viewers enjoy those who are real and they're honest and doing what you love only inspires them and even yourself the beauty of YouTube is that you can create whatever it is that you want so just do what your heart desires really number four use creative commons music this is so important so you don't get any copyright issues on YouTube you don't get your video taken down just finding that like easy music that you can put on your videos is very useful you can find it just by googling creative commons music on soundcloud on free music archive there's so many websites number five play around with your channel there's so many settings and channel layouts and designs and there's just so much that you can do just for your channel just starting out even if you don't have a video up yet just get a nice picture get a nice like a little banner up like just get your channel started and don't forget to put your links everywhere and just have a nice description and just get it really prepared and then you just go number six connect with other youtubers I feel like this is such an important part of this because just getting involved in the community and finding other youtubers and just finding friends and that support will really really motivate you even more and you get to make amazing friends all over the world and there's nothing better than to just support each other all the time with views and your likes and your comments all of that just grows as you build a community of people number seven write down any ideas you get when you think of an idea it's in your mind and you're thinking should I write this down I'll remember it later don't even think twice about it just write it down right away because I've had so many times where I get an idea I just write it down right away and then I make a video about it later on in the future and the times that I don't do that I completely forget what it was about and I don't know what to do this could go for anything whether you're doing sit-down talking videos or anything at all writing it down not only allows you to have it ready and there for you but it allows you to keep going on the topic and to keep the inspiration going like as you're writing down you might think of more stuff too so it helps a lot number eight collaborate collaborate with youtubers collaborate with your family collaborate with your friends collaborate with anyone people love seeing more people and new people and interesting people on your channel and your videos so get together with other amazing creative people and just make something because you really don't know what can happen number nine set goals goals are the most important most important thing with anything in life you always have to be clear on your intention what is your intention with your channel what is your goal with your channel how many subscribers do you want by what time what date how many views do you want what is your goal with your channel you just gotta get clear on that and everything will fall into place and number 10 have fun and do not make it a job this is the most like biggest biggest thing that so many youtubers get into conflict with when they start feeling like it's a job it's like the worst feeling in the world because it's like this is not what I signed up for so just remember always do what you love on your channel and never push yourself like the whole once a week thing where people do that they start to feel like oh it's kind of like you have to do it do it because you want to get clear on why you started and have fun just really have fun and sometimes you can't get a great video out that's okay that's totally fine just have fun with it and remember that this is for you whether you're making money or not remember at the end of the day this is just a channel for fun and whatever it is that attention is for your channel it's just for that and just
