If revision not passed, then architect will acid a l itonal stairway to the plans as discussed previously. ,2 weeks ago Planning and Construction Subcommittee agreed the new library building would look better-10 feet off`the sidewalk,rather than 5 feet. In addition, based on Stewart Robert's Presentation, they agreed top of the building should be shingles;bottom in masonry. Rick-Pon roy met with Doug Storrs, but Doug was not impressed with shingles. So tomorrow a small groin, including Joycc Mason, will meet with Doing and show him Stewart's 3D rendering. 0 Town goes not want Library Post Office parking lots connected, but Doug Storrs feels they need the 2 lots to connect. • At last Subcommittee meeting, Route 151 Library entrance changed to remove the short coeur ns. Helene said this really made a difference.,.really gave an open appearance to the entrance. Solar panels were originally on the front roof but with mounting it was not attractive. A number of panels could go on the flat roof so they wouldn't all have to go on front. Stewart working on making ng this work. Helene explained some of the benefits of the grant-writing workshop she attended. She said she did get a lot out of it.
