HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said there are a number of changes to the garage
The present garage was on-site in 1963, but couldn't locate a permit for its construction. There was a shed originally on the site with no driveway.
Mr. Askin could not see how a 1.5 foot requirement from the setback could be met.
Aaron DeKoskey - property owner - they're working on renovating the interior right now and in summer will begin working on the exterior. The purpose is to add a usable space to the back yard. They want to add French doors to the rear so they can see the lake. They are proposing a spiral staircase with cable railings to take advantage of the view. They want vinyl siding on the garage as it's a metal stud structure. They would attach a stone veneer so it matches the look of the house.
Mr. Askin would object to extending the deck so far over the garage. The staircase might be subject to a fifteen foot setback, but plan exam may not agree. He definitely would not support cable railings on this property. He also thinks it's out of scale to the house and yard, although an improvement on the garage.
The carriage house totally obstructs the view of the garage from the public way; only seen by the neighbors immediately adjacent to the house.
Ms. Peltz would vote against a porch on the garage. She does not believe the balconies reflect the style of the house.
The owner would like approval of the French doors on the second floor. He is only seeking approval for that today. For that, staff would need to approve the materials.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved to approve a single door with staff review of the materials. The owner would like a double French door that open up.
Wood exterior doors would be required by the Commission.
Ms. Keating Kahn moves to amend the motion of Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown to approve a door that works with staff, a double French door would be okay if approved by Mr. Askin. Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown.
The owner believes both decks were original to the house. Mr. Askin will research what decking was original. | Pass | 5:0 |
