Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the house was built in 1916 and the applicant wants to do a restoration. The shed has no architectural importance. Replace the roofing with cedar shingles and restore it to when it was originally constructed, including the stonework on the facade. Mr. Gullick - Burnham - There are six homes and the nonprofit owns five of them - they began acquiring them in 2002. Three will be used as museums and the rest can be occupied. Staff recommends approval with conditions. The work is being paid for by grants. The applicant would remove the paint on the foundation so it is historically accurate. Staff is fine with removing the "A" condition relating to the paint. Also present: Rick Donner Steve Wellenstein - architect Granted with removal of the paint condition.
