Install pre-colored shingles to replace shingles on front of the house. Install a small deck to mimic look of deck in West Barnstable remembered photos. Wendy Shuck moved to open the public hearing. Seconded by Lesley Wallace. Roll Call Vote George Jessop- aye Lesley Wallace – aye Wendy Shuck – aye Bett McCarthy- aye Conor McInerney, representative, was in attendance. Conor presented that they are looking to bring back the historical look and have worked closely with Nancy Shoemaker. The picture shown is from the 1800s. The picture represents what they would like to do to the front of the house. The deck was removed and the 2 over 2 were changed to 12 over 12. They would like to bring the front of the house to exactly what is shown from the photo from the 1800s. George- 2 over 2 is a little early for 1740. Historically built in 1740 would have been 6 over 6 or smaller. When was the side entrance built? At that time the 2 over 2 windows would have been replacements in the 1800s. Is the side window higher than the dormer windows? Conor- Yes, about 6” higher than the dormer windows. George- Since it dates the time of the addition is historic and may be replicated as such. Appropriate to the time. Raised concerns about the ease detail for the water. The gutter should be below the roof line. Give a slight pitch to the deck so that the top of the deck doesn’t get the rain driven water. Wendy- The windows in the dormer are a little different? Conor- The windows in the dormer are open lite. Two smaller windows. Keep those as they are for now. When they are replaced they will be like for like. Wendy- What color will the trim be? Conor- White trim. Wendy- The deck will be all white? Conor- Yes Wendy- The shingles will be pre-painted? Conor- On waitlist for natural shingles. The plan would be to go with something that is a weathered cedar shingle like Cape Cod Grey. George- Double Dipped natural shingles? Conor- Yes. Wendy- The preference would be natural? Conor- Yes. It’s more of an option. Lesley- Thanks the applicant for doing their due diligence for the historic aspect. Appropriate. Bett- The owners are restoring the house and willing to make the investment to do so. Taking George’s opinion for the double dipped shingles would be appropriate. George- Does not approve of the grey color as it would not be historic. Most of the houses from the 1700s are usually a white front wall and natural shingle sides. Public Comment: Letter Submitted. The concerns presented in the letter regarding the appropriateness of the 2 over 2 windows were addressed by what George stated earlier being that 2 over 2 would not be appropriate if there wasn’t an addition in the 1800s. The addition built in t he 1800s is what makes the 2 over 2 windows appropriate. Wendy Shuck moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Lesley Wallace.
