Windows -As noted from archival photos, the windows are six over one plate glass, so the <br />applicant has proposed new windows, with trim, that will match. The applicant has selected a <br />six over one 400 series Anderson window with attached grill inside and out. Windows will be <br />trimmed in a 2" Azac trim with a sill to mimic the appearance of an older window. Due to code <br />requirements, the front door must be glass so the applicant has proposed a paned glass front door. <br />Mr. Fudala expressed concern regarding the dramatic change to the windows. Mr. Robbins <br />agreed that the original structure had more windows and the Commission would appreciate the <br />return of more windows. The Commission would like to see the windows split to create single <br />windows, and to add additional windows. Mr. Hulbig agreed and will sign off on the changes <br />and addition of more windows. <br />Gutters -Aluminum gutters will be added to the buildings and will feature a round downspout. <br />Wood gutters are not practical for long term maintenance. <br />Chimneys -Decorative chimneys will be added to each building in a brick veneer with mortar <br />grouting. <br />Porch Railings- The applicant provided photos of the porch railing to be used. Buildings 2 and <br />3 will have handicap ramps and the required handicap rail will sit within the porch railing. <br />White painted mahogany will be used for the rail and the top rail will be beveled to offer greater <br />wood longevity. Traditionally the rail would have been flat. <br />Flag Pole -The applicant would also like to propose a 35 foot aluminum flag pole to be sited in <br />the courtyard area. <br />Signage -Signage will be located at the main entrance and two smaller signs will be located on <br />each of the two back buildings on the gabled ends facing the parking lots. The dimensions of the <br />smaller signs meet town code at 12"x60" and the main entrance sign will be larger. Benjamin <br />Moore Buckland Blue has been selected as a historic paint color for the signs. The applicant is <br />also required to add number signs for safety purposes and will utilize similar styling. <br />Lighting -The applicant offered two options to the Committee to light the central parking area in <br />the back of the buildings, a gooseneck style and a more commercial style to be placed on a pole. <br />Committee members preferred the gooseneck style. Lighting on the building will be down <br />lighting only and will remain 3 feet from the pavement. <br />Members of the Committee expressed excitement about the proposed changes to the existing <br />buildings. Commissioners appreciate that the applicant has taken into consideration the <br />historical character of the buildings. <br />Voting will be continued until the next meeting while the engineering and landscaping plans are <br />corrected and Mr. Fudala writes the decision. <br />Motion made by Mr. Robbins to continue the hearing until November 5 at 4:30 p.m. <br />Motion seconded by Mr. Mills. All voted unanimously. <br />Other Items: <br />Board Items: <br />2 <br />
