Dyer Street
– Mark Kinane presented the case and wants to restore it to its original
condition. The group didn’t like the
clerestory windows because they have no historic precedent. The chimney shows over the roof but is cut
off and is non-functional. Mark wanted
suggestions from the Commissioners. Mark
will bring in the final with two options based on the HDC’s suggestions. They further said that skylights are
preferable to the wee windows on the 3rd floor.
Adams Pharmacy - The
owners want to turn a storage space into an apartment. The architect wondered just how much of the
project needs to be drawn out. Carol
said to show the bigger lines of the building.
He can provide a rough outline of the project the next time
415-417
Commercial St – They want to add a bedroom to the backside which is the street side
of the building. They also want to raise
the slope of the shed from the waterside – the street side is going to be a
bedroom. The architect is trying to keep
it funky because it was a shed. Clo felt
that the HDC needed more pictures to give a true opinion.
3
Nickerson Street – The owner
said that in the fall the HDC had approved a deck extension on the 2nd
floor. Carol did not participate in the
discussion since she’s an abutter. The 3rd
floor widow’s walk seemed to look a little prominent so the owner said that he
was going to wrap the posts but what he proposes would reduce the weight of
it. His proposal would also reduce the
wind load and reduce the weight on the dormer.
He would like a wire railing on the 3rd floor.
He cited the “Relish”
building as one that has a wire railing.
The owner further felt that it would be less obtrusive with the wire
railings. Owner also argued that added
elements should be more delineated from the historic elements. The Board felt that the original design was
more consistent with the design of the house and the request for the change to
wire railings was denied.
Public Hearing 4:00 p.m.

siding and blow in full insulation to wrap the house. - This
