Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission approves renovation, other items
The Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission unanimously approved three applications during its Tuesday meeting. The items comprised renovation and signage for a new business, the restoration of a historic home, and the posting of a temporary sign for a local nonprofit. Scott Grant presented a plan to renovate the old gas station at the corner of South McKee and Main streets, across from the Greeneville Greene County History Museum, as a boutique car dealership. While leaving the structure of the original building unchanged, the proposed renovation will repaint the exterior, in accordance with Greeneville’s historical color charts, to evoke a vintage service station. It will also add signage for Grant’s new business, “Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers,” to the building and either decorative, nonfunctioning gas pumps or antique lollipop signs under the property’s canopy. Jaime Parman-Ryans, a member of the Commission, temporarily recused herself to present her proposal to restore her historic home at 312 N. Main Street.
