and Gino Verzone

Work Session at 9:00 a.m.

 

6 School st – Robert Valois was wondering about the project.  He had the original plan and just wanted to see if the owner had changed it.  The owner still owes Robert Valois for the original plan.

 

Hal Winard met Ardis at the Old Colony!– He is doing Freak Street over and is looking  for old postcards that show the building as it once was.  He’s contemplating bumping the first floor front back out. 

 

The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m.

 

Old Business

(This case, once again, was a no show.)

The above case and the fact that it was a “no show” was copied exactly from the last meeting!

 

Case # 2001-046 John Reis representing Paul Haines, 5 Anthony Street [Map/Parcel 15-1-066; MHC # 530; Historic Name: center entry cottage; Date: c 1870, c 1970; Style: astylistic Victorian, alterations; Contributing] one-for-one replacement of deck

Lisa Foley,  John Reis employee, presented the deck replacement proposal previously heard on September 5th.  She presented pictures of deck and what is proposed. 

Motion:  John Dowd made a motion “not to refer” and to approve as presented with captured balusters 4.5” on center.  Ardis Markarian seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.

 

New Cases

Case # 2001-047 Sam Anacito representing Nancy Breithaupt Lee, 7 Alden Street [Map/Parcel 12-1-044; MHC # 773; Historic Name: sidehall cottage; Date: c 1850-70, 20th c; Style: Greek Revival, entry sash and siding alt.; Contributing] Install skylight at north side to match existing skylight

Nancy presented on her own behalf.  She has original pictures.  Skylight is currently in place and the project is finished.  She said she originally had a permit which expired and a friend cut out the center of the skylight frame because people were moving in?!

Motion:  Roger Keene made a motion to approve the plan as presented, especially since it has been completed.  Ardis Markarian seconded it and it was approved unanimously.

 

Case # 2001-048 Jon Lee Lambrou representing Joe Pallant, 6 School Street [Map/Parcel 06-4-076; MHC # 1374; Historic Name: cottage; Date: c 1820-40, 1960; Style: Federalist timber frame; ell added; Contributing] Add to existing deck; replace 2 double hung windows with French doors; new shingles or siding; add porch roof and skylights.

Jon Lambrou has a permit dated June 2000.  He began work and it was found that the house was in violation and the job was stopped.  Jon was very cooperative and the renovation was discussed at length.  John Dowd told Jon Lambrou that they would like money paid to Robert Valois for the design.  Jon smiled.

Motion:  John Dowd made a motion “not to refer” with the following conditions:

1.      eliminate angled gable & extend to Tremont Street façade.

2.      Rail to have single captured baluster.

3.      Porch post design to be simplified.

Ardis Markarian seconded the motion and it passed 4-1 (RK).

 

Case # 2001-049 Robert Sanborn, 5A Atlantic Avenue [Map/Parcel 07-2-090; MHC # 1180; Historic Name: half cottage; Date: c 1840-60, c1930-1960; Style: astylistic Victorian; contemporary; Contributing] extend dormer; replace windows with French doors; replace kitchen door with single window; replace and lengthen decks; re-shingle and replace corner boards, rake and eaves with pine boards to match existing.

This project was a “no-show” and it was thought that more study on the plans was needed.

 

Case # 2001-050 Tom Thomson representing Jeffrey Koehl, 3 Franklin Street [Map/Parcel 06-4-106; MHC # 147; Historic Name: house; Date: c 1850-60; Style: Greek Revival; Contributing] replace windows and re-shingle dormer; add window casings and window grilles; remove octagon window at peak and replace with double hung.

Tom Thomson presented the plan.  He and the owners were trying to fix what objections there had been to the renovation.

Motion:  John Dowd made a motion “not to refer” and to approve as presented.

South elevation – replace windows & reshingle (dormer)

West elevation – Anderson window casings & window grilles

            Remove octagon window @ peak & replace with double hung

Gino Verzone seconded the motion and it passed 4-1 (RK)

Ellen said she and the owner were trying to take the renovation back closer to its original form so it blends in with older original. 

Motion:  Gino Verzone made a motion to accept the plan and to give the owner the option of using a 6 muntin configuration on clerestory windows instead of a 4 muntin.  John Dowd seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
