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.

(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!

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

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.

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).

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