CONTINUED APPLICATIONS
None
APPLICATIONS
Zanineli, Fabio, 347 Great Marsh Road, Centerville, Map 210, Parcel 006, Built 1910
Partial Demolition: Remove roof from existing building. Changes to each elevation including additions.
Fabio Zanineli was in attendance for this item.
Fabio gave an overview of the project starting with the front elevation. He stated the house would be clapboard.
There would be an addition to the left side of the home to expand the bedroom . On the right side an addition would
also come to align with the addition on the left. The front wall will be flush. The house will be perfectly rectangular.
Discussion: Jack questioned how the support for the dwelling will be reinforced. Fabio said they will be reinforcing
what is already there. Bob commented that additions typically break up the massing of the house. With this proposal
the increase of volume of the home will not be broken up by additions since all the elevations will be flush. Bob
suggested that at least from the street view, it may be worth looking into pulling out the front entry to make it look a
little smaller than it will look. Bob also commented that this home is not on the national register nor is it located in a
national register district. George commented that the proposal looks like a summer cottage of the 50s. George made
several suggestions including changing the color from black to blue or dark green, turning the downspouts in from
the corner, a trellis on the side of the home to fill in some of the blank space.
Public Comment: An abutter of the project spoke in favor of this project stating she believes that this change will
be great for the current lot and overall appearance of the neighborhood.
