Attendance Roll Call: Ryan Coholan George Jessop Lesley Wallace Wendy Shuck Bett McCarthy CONTINUED APPLICATIONS Carey, Steven & Kristy, 302 Church Street, West Barnstable, Map 153, Parcel 009/001, Built 1948 Add a second-floor dormer and a 16’ x 30’ addition to the south facing elevation. Steve and Kristy Carey were in attendance for this item. Steve and Kristy presented that they decided to move the addition and dormer from the front of the home (south side elevation) to the rear of the home (north side elevation). The addition will extend approximately 14 feet off the rear of the existing dwelling. All materials to be used will match the existing home. Wendy- No dormer on the front? Steve- No dormer on the front. Wendy- Will the materials match what is existing? Steve- Looking to change to shingle style. George- Why the single lights on the rear? Steve- For furniture placement. Over the beds. All the other walls have either a wall or a window. George- Building will decide if the windows will meet egress. Thinks the single transoms are inappropriate. Maybe a double hung next to the beds. Lesley- The switch to the rear is appropriate. Is there a deck coming out of the addition? Steve- Yes. Ryan- Think the switch to the rear makes a lot of sense. The transom windows are not visible from the road. Materials to match. Thinks it is appropriate. Bett- Visited the house and the revised plan is much more appropriate.

Change split rail fence line. Certificate of Appropriateness approved on 9/27/2023. Diane and David Munsell were in attendance. George- Asked to see site plan of the fence and asked if it was facing route 6A. Diane- It is not facing 6A. David- It is not a stockade fence. It is a cedar fence with a cap on top. Vertical board fence. George- Appreciate the change to a vertical board fence. David- Original fence was a split rail that sits along the right of way between the dwelling and the rectory building. It hides the generator. There’s a gate on the side of the shed. Lesley- Dressier. Appropriate. David- Felt the 6” ½ round was more appropriate. Bringing the downspouts around the corner. Wendy- The purple highlighted is where a split rail fence will go? David- Originally there was an approved split rail fence from the shed, along the property line, and then perpendicular to Route 6A. It was taken down for construction. Orange highlight is the 5’ vertical board fence, the yellow highlight will be arborvitaes, and the purple will be a replacement of the split rail fence perpendicular to Route 6A. Ryan- No comments. Thinks it is appropriate. Lesley- Likes the fence and the downspouts. Appropriate. Bett- The fence proposed is appropriate. The house is coming along beautifully.

Materials are complimentary as well as same window fenestrations. Wendy- The right elevation, there are no other windows planned except for the two quarter windows? Mark- Correct. That’s the headboard wall for the proposed master bedroom. Wendy- Glad it will be stepped back. It is the back of the home and the changes fit in with the house and neighborhood. Appropriate. Ryan- Given it is the back of the home and the materials are matching, it is appropriate. Agrees with Wendy the step back is helpful. Lesley- Step back is great and it will look good. Likes the little windows as it reminds her of the Amityville Horror house. Appropriate. Bett- Concur with the Committee remakes. It is appropriate.
