Aiken Design Review Board debates guidelines and pigs statue case
In a 2004 2005 sequence the Historic Preservation Committee approved seven Horseplay statues around the Historic District. The 2005 DRB vote to permit Jesse Colin Young's home design drew criticism from Rosamond McDuffie and Gregory White Smith who argued the Gothic style harmed the district. Members debated whether guidelines are subjective or binding and considered an upcoming overlay to govern downtown design. The board favored caution over neighbor input and rejected Downing Street plans for scale, while acknowledging the struggle to balance growth with historic character.
