George Perna was in attendance for this item.
George gave a presentation stating that they would be demolishing the existing garage to build more living
space. They would be using the existing foundation and there would be no change in the footprint.
Committee Discussion:
Ryan- Clarified that the garage would be demolished and rebuilt. Asked what kind of siding would be used
on the new addition and if the siding would be re-done throughout the entirety of the dwelling. George
answered that the siding would not be done throughout the entirety of the dwelling. The new addition would
match the existing cottage on the left-hand side of the house in vinyl shingles. Ryan commented that he is
not partial to the vinyl siding and that it may be hard to approve if the middle section siding is not changed
to match.
Wendy- Agreed with Ryan’s comments and noted that the addition appears to have an overhang, but it is
hard to tell on the partial drawings provided. She also noted that the window on the second floor is not
appropriate. Asked if that could also be changed to match the existing cottage on the left with 6 over 6
double hung windows. Wendy stated that she could not make a determination without full elevations and
requested that full elevations be provided.
Lesley- Agreed with the other committee members comments. Asked if the applicant would be willing to
re-side the middle portion of the dwelling on specifically the front façade. Noted that if it is not re -sided
that the middle portion would stick out like a sore thumb as it will not match the rest of the home. The
applicant noted that the cost is exorbitant, and they are slowly working to make the renovations. The would
like to start with this alteration to the home before siding the middle portion.
Bett- Agreed with the other committee members comments. She noted that the window on the second floor
of the addition is not appropriate and that it may be prudent to match the 6 over 6 double hung windows on
the left side of the home. She also noted that the windows are different in each section of the home and
recommended six over six inserts be placed in the middle portion to bring symmetry to the home.
The applicant and committee agreed to a continuance to the next meeting.
Wendy Shuck moved to continue the demolition application and the certificate of appropriateness application for Suyematsu,
Jeffrey, 17 Sunset Lane, Barnstable, Map 301, Parcel 017, Built 1950 to renovate garage into living space and add a second
floor to the Wednesday October 25, 2024, meeting at 6:30pm to be held remotely via Zoom.
Ryan Coholan seconded.
