Conor presented the existing photographs of the barn showing it in disrepair. They are looking to update the barn and bring it back to the same look that it had back in the early 1900s. The original barn was taken down and was rebuilt in the same footprint in the 1980s as a replica of the original. They want to update the siding with natural cedar shingles, replace the windows with Andersen Windows, and replace the trim with Azek. Committee Discussion: Wendy- Asked if the barn doors would remain as pine and Conor confirmed they would. She also asked if the doors would be painted. Conor noted that the doors would be painted black as it is likely that they were black or a dark color originally as shown in the older photograph. Appropriate. Lesley- Thanked the applicant for doing their research. Appropriate. Erin- No issues and noted that the barn revival would be great especially if they could mimic the sign in the older photograph. Bett- Thanked the applicant for their attention to detail and desire to maintain and revive the historical aspects of the barn. Wendy Shuck moved to close the public hearing.

Committee Discussion: Wendy- Felt the design is appropriate in the neighborhood. Asked about the square footage of the house. Tim answered it would be approximately 2300 square feet. Wendy then asked how big the lot is. Tim noted the lot is a little less than an acre but approximately the same acreage as the dwelling directly to the south. Confirmed the windows will be six over one. Lesley- Felt the design is more than appropriate and has no objections. Erin- Asked how the dwelling will be situated on the lot. Tim referenced the site plan showing the house on the south westerly side of the lot due to conservation restrictions. She thought the design will fit in very nicely with the other dwellings.

Tim answered that the pool and pool fence were added to know whether it would be possible given the conservation restrictions.
