Roll Call Vote Ryan Coholan- aye Lesley Wallace- aye Wendy Shuck- aye Bett McCarthy- aye William Munn and Peter Hanby were in attendance for this item. William presented the project as an existing Cape house in which they are looking to add an addition to the dwelling. They’re looking to match the existing home except for cedar shingles on the addition instead of clapboard. The screened in porch would include matching materials. Ryan- It is a unique property that is staged to look much older than it is. The addition mirrors almost all of what was built many years ago. Provided that materials will match the existing, the product will match it will be a good use of the space. Will the trees in the front be staying? William- Yes. There will be some extensive excavation for the grading on the east elevation to re-grade and make it a primary entrance. Re-work the existing stone walls. Ryan- I don’t believe any of the stone walls there are ancient stone walls. William- Owned by the grandfather who had the dwelling built and the stone wall installed. Lesley- Agrees with Ryan’s comments. The porch is in the rear? William- Yes. Lesley- Was worried about the difference in the windows but appears to be okay. William- The main house is 12 over 12 and it is his understanding that with these additions they would typically take a row of lights out or change to cottage style windows which is how they came up with the 8 over 12. Peter- The lights are all of the same size as the main dwelling. Lesley- Thank you. The addition will fit in nicely. Wendy- The siding on the addition will be clapboard, correct? The plans say shingle. William- Going through the pricing now and it was stipulated that the shingles would be cheaper than the clapboard. Peter- There is a desire on the part of the clients to use clipboard. This was submitted with the assumption that given clapboard pricing it would be best for the budget to go with cedar shingles. Lelsey- Would it be the same color? Peter- Using a different material with natural weatherization would make the original structure stand out more rather than it be auto chromatic. Wendy- Suggested to clapboard just the front façade to match and shingle the other sides. It would be more aesthetically pleasing. Is the chimney on the porch brick veneer? Peter- It would be a true masonry fireplace. Lesley- If the applicant would be willing to do the clapboard on the front, it would be more appropriate. Sometimes when you use two different materials, it causes the look of the addition to be an afterthought. Peter- If things work out, the preference would be to do all clapboard. Bett- The dwelling is a very attractive reproduction. The front should have the same materials to keep it blending well with the existing structure. Shingle on the rest of house would be no issue.
