HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: The work was done without a certificate and the applicant is not the current owner as he has sold the property Railings must also be installed as more than three steps. The step planters interfere with the berm and the first planting bed is also an encroachment. There are also lighting concerns with some of lights as detailed in the staff report. The plantings also need to be changed.
Gary Urban - Hawks Landcape - the homeowner wanted some color in the front yard and there are other houses with much larger retaining walls. The stone matches the capstones on the house. A railing will be installed. The stone will patina down in a few years.
Ali Schiesl - previous owner who did the work - she wanted the lighting for security purposes. They tried to do the work tastefully.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved to direct the owner to install appropriate railings, obtain DPW encroachment permission, reduce the width of the planting beds and approve limited uplighting, but remove the path lighting, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. Prevailed. 5-0
