The Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission considered two applications for Certificates of Appropriateness on Tuesday. The Commission unanimously approved an application for the installation of benches at 122 South Main Street while tabling an application for limited demolition and painting at 300 North Main Street. A called meeting will decide the outcome of the tabled application on Nov. 10. Commission members approved Jamey and Tammy Fillers’ application to install two benches to the front of the building at 122 South Main Street. The owners said their primary reason for the request is that one of the benches will cover and protect an emergency sprinkler line which they are concerned is currently vulnerable to damage.

She is remarkably wrong in her assessment.
