Public Meeting

 

Ardis Markarian called the Public Meeting to order at 9:30 AM introducing the members present.

 

Old Business

 

Case #2003-026      John Lisbon and John Lee on behalf of Harold Coill Revocable Trust, 259-263 Commercial Street The representatives requested window changes.

 

John Lisbon had samples of new brackets being made to show that the new brackets will be duplicates of the originals. This case was purely for the window replacement only. Because of differences, the Commission and the representatives thought it would be best to have a site visit which would take place at 11:00 after the other cases were heard.

Ardis Markarian and Stephen Milkewicz stated the windows and French door were visible from the street as opposed to what was stated at the last meeting. This Case will be held over until the meeting of April 2nd as Warren Alexander, Building Commissioner, has to check into the building code regarding the second means of egress.
