Summary of Proceedings

Marietta Historic Board Review Meeting – October 5, 2026

The Historic Board Review (HBR) met on October 5, 2026, at 10:45 AM. The board approved routine items and discussed a sign replacement application for 61 Atlanta Street. The meeting included informal off-topic conversation among members while waiting for an applicant.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes Approval: The board voted unanimously to approve the minutes from the previous meeting. (Motion by Jesse, seconded by Jim.)
  • Strand Theater ATM Branding: Andy from Synovis (now owned by Pinnacle) presented a request to replace the existing ATM branding with Pinnacle signage. The board voted unanimously to approve the change.

Discussion Items

  • 61 Atlanta Street – Sign Replacement: The item was initially delayed as the applicant, Trey Herndon of Southern Science Systems, arrived late due to traffic. After a brief wait, the board discussed the application informally before his arrival. One member noted the sign appeared similar to a previous proposal but remarked that the applicant had indicated changes (though the specific changes were not detailed in this meeting). Upon arrival, Mr. Herndon explained that the sign would replace the former Yeoman’s Consulting sign with new signage for Merit Financial Advisors. He stated the sign would use an acrylic substrate mounted on the existing block, with no changes to size or location. The board asked clarifying questions and appeared receptive, but no formal vote was recorded in the available transcript.

Key Outcomes

  • Unanimous approval of minutes and the Strand Theater ATM branding change.
  • The 61 Atlanta Street sign application was presented and discussed; the board took no recorded vote during this meeting segment. The meeting continued with indications that a decision would be made before the next scheduled meeting (6:00 PM HPC meeting).
