CONTINUED APPLICATIONS
MaClean, Christina, 102 Cobblestone Road, Barnstable, Map 316, Parcel 061, Built 1984
Construct 24’ x 27’ detached garage.
Steve Cook was in attendance for this proposal.
The project encompasses a 24’ by 27’ two car single story garage. Room, trim, windows, doors, and
siding will all match the existing house. The roof cover over the doors will be metal.
Lesley- The garage will be shingles?
Steve- Yes.
Lesley- It looks very appropriate. The over hang will be a metal roof?
Steve- Yes.
Ryan- Given the location it is appropriate. Typically, not a fan of steel roofs but no issue with the
proposed plan.
Wendy- What color will the metal roof be?
Steve- Yes, dark blue or green.
Wendy- A color will probably be good. Will any trees be removed?
Steve- Yes, probably a couple of trees to the left and rear. Will not be cleared.
Wendy- Appropriate and matched the style of the house.
Bett- The location is not very visible and given the fact it matches the house, it is appropriate.
Public Comment: None
Wendy Shuck moved to close the public hearing. Lesley Wallace seconded.

Dasque, Erik & Jaime, 113 Boulder Road, Barnstable, Map 315, Parcel 030, Built 1988
Construct 24’ x 24’ detached garage on concrete frost wall foundation.
Jamie McGrath was in attendance for this project. Jaime Dasque was also in attendance.
The proposal is a 24’ by 24’ detached garage. This house is elevated, and the driveway goes up a small
hill. The existing dwelling already has an attached garage. This will be detached and set slightly back
from the house. All the materials will match the house. There is a dormer on the garage and an exterior
stairway that will not be visible from the road.
George- Since there is limited room at the top of the grade, will there be a problem with the road and
driveway level?
Jamie- That’s one of the reasons why this would be set back a little bit more so that there is a better grade
situation. If there was 16 inches or more foundation exposed towards Boulder Road, then it will be
covered but does not believe it will be an issue here. The property sits 100’ or so from the road.
Lesley- Will there be a driveway that will go up to it?
Jamie- There is an existing driveway that will come right up to it.
Lesley- Likes it staggered back a bit so it looks like a separate building and not connected to the house.
Ryan- 100 feet off the road with a tree buffer and it is appropriate.
Wendy- Agree with the other Committee members. The structure itself is appropriate. How big is the
garage door?
Jamie- It is a little bit big. This may not be the style of the door. It is a wide door and probably will be
carriage style. Would be happy to submit a minor modification once the door is selected.
Bett- Agree with the other Committee members. Appropriate and applicant has agreed to submit a minor
modification for the garage door once a style has been selected.
No Pubic Comment.
A motion was made by Wendy Shuck to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for Dasque, Erik & Jaime, 113 Boulder
Road, Barnstable, Map 315, Parcel 030, Built 1988 to construct a 24’ x 24’ detached garage with the condition that a minor
modification will be submitted once a garage door has been selected otherwise as submitted.

Polly Brazelton was in attendance.
Polly presented a photo of the existing paddock. Decided that the stockade fence didn’t look appropriate
and instead would like to extend the existing 3 rail paddock fence from the post to the shed. Some trees will
be added between the dwelling and barn as a buffer.
George- The revision seems to be made so that more oversight of the paddock area for the animals.
Lesley- Appropriate.
Ryan- No exception to the changes.
Wendy- Agreed and thinks the changes are more appropriate than the original. No concerns.
