HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this was heard last month and there were just some window and finish issues as well as the sports patio. The landscaping was submitted and staff did not object to the proposed plantings. The homeowner began work after being told not to begin work until a landscape plan was approved by the Commission. Staff does note that there have been significant athletic activities in the front lawn beginning in the 1940s with a pool. The neighbor next to the patio has no objections as long as there is no permanent lighting. There are some zoning codes relating to the length of the driveway as well as the number of parking spaces. Staff supports the sports patio with conditions.
Atty. Elizabeth Shimek - present for the owner
Chris Miracle - landscape designer
Approve, with conditions and that this not set a precedent for other properties, by Ms. Clendenen-Acosta. Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown. | Pass | 3:0 |

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: This work is for extensive landscape changes. The kitchen project previously approved by the commission is substantially complete. The grounds will be in a formal design to fit with the house's Georgian architecture. Evergreens will also be added along the lot lines and a new driveway route is proposed closer to the north lot line, but wil remain dirt. There will also be parking for 6 cars and new pavers in cream will replace the current red brick on the terrace. The property contains 2.8 acres. Staff supports the majority of the project, but does not support the sport patio as it is basically a basketball court on the front lawn. Work was begun on the basketball court without Commission approval and it consumes 2500 square feet and is close to a neighbor's property line and can be seen from Lake Dr. The owner needs to get BOZA approval for parking spaces in excess of 4 spaces as well as a three-foot walkway required by code. If the court is approved, staff recommends that it be moved to another location and screening be provided to protect the neighboring property
Atty. Elizabeth Shimmick - Atty. for the owner
