Lima Council gives go-ahead to metal siding update
LIMA Is steel siding on a commercial garage worth an update for a downtown building?
After an hour-plus discussion, Lima City Council voted for its approval.
The matter came before councilors Tuesday night as the last step in a lengthy process that began in October when Contractor Mike Frueh first began updating 201 E. North St. with metal siding and a stone facade.
According to Lima Chief Building Official Amy Harpster, Frueh had made two mistakes at the time. He failed to get the necessary permits on the commercial project and missed the requirement of going to the Downtown Design Review Board.
Lima council looks to reverse decision on historic property improvements
LIMA Is a historic look worth stopping investment into downtown?
When it comes to metal siding at 201 E. North St, Lima City Councilors Carla Thompson and Derry Glenn didn’t think so. During a Friday meeting of Thompson’s economic development committee, the two recommended that the initial decision by the city’s Downtown Design Review Board be overturned in favor of the building’s owner Mike Frueh.
Frueh had initially approached the design review board back in October with the hopes of getting approval to update his storage building on North Street with some stonework and tan metal siding, but the board denied his request primarily citing the lack of historic materials.
