Peter Desisto was in attendance for this item.
Existing is a three-season porch with original door and glass. They would like to pull out the existing door and glass, replace with
one door, and close it up and have it as part of the interior space.
George- The arch that forms the header, would that be retained?
Peter- Would like to but is unsure how it would look with only one door.
George- Thinks it would look fine and would not like to lose that architectural feature.
Peter- Love the architectural detail and will save it and leave the arch.
Lesley- Also agrees that the arch is unique and nice. Will the trim be like for like?
Peter- Everything will match existing.
Ryan- Concurs with the Committee and thinks it is appropriate.
Bett- Keeping the arch will give it a little more interest rather than a blank wall.

David Ansel was in attendance for this item.
David presented that they would like to replace the front door is old with leakage issues. Would have preferred to be able to replace
like for like, but the three panel sidelights are not available and have to go with a full panel of sidelights. Shutters t o be replaced.
Color change to the Benjamin Moore HC 154 navy color.
George- Suggested to paint the bottom sidelights inside and out to give the partial sidelight look.
David- Really appreciated and liked the idea.
George- Are the shutters panels or louvers?
David- Louvers.
George- Look to use fully functional shutters?
David- No. Composite full shutter. No intent to close them but will be mounted on the wall like real shutters.
George- Appropriate.
Lesley- All glass sidelights will provide more light. Appreciates George’s ideas. Thinks the navy will look great.
Ryan- Love the color. Enjoy the three lights and not the solid pane down. Recommend that they take advantage of George’s
suggestions, but either way it is appropriate.
Bett- Thinks the navy will look nice and likes George’s suggestion as well. Appropriate.

MINOR MODIFICATIONS
Dasque, Erik & Jaime, 113 Boulder Road, Barnstable, Map 315, Parcel 030, Built 1988
Garage door. Original COA approved on 3/27/2024.
No representative in attendance. Attendance is not required for minor modifications.
George- Asked if this is one door.
Erica- Yes, it is one door.
George- It’s hard to meet the wind code with one door. No objection to the design. Thinks the applicant
would be better off with two doors.
Lesley- Likes this garage door better than the original that was presented.
Ryan- The proposed garage is 100 plus feet off the road, and it is on a road that is not travelled often,
appropriate.
Bett- Boulder Road is off the beaten path and will not be all that noticeable. This door is a big
improvement over the original. No issues with this door.
Ryan Coholan moved to approve the Minor Modification application for Dasque, Erik & Jaime, 113 Boulder Road, Barnstable,
Map 315, Parcel 030, Built 1988 for the garage door selection as submitted.
