Trim to be Benjamin Moore Green Mediterranean Olive and building stucco to be Benjamin Moore Café Latte. With regards to the windows, the main reason they did not go with 6 over 6 was that the mullions are so thick. As for the 1 over 1 windows, they simply did not like the look of it. A request for an Extension of Time Limits was made at this time to for lighting, signage, siding, awning, and outdoor furniture.

As the window does not face Main Street, the Chairman suggested applicant may wish to go a bit larger that the 28” proposed or may even want to go with two windows, one for ordering and one for take out. Decking and windows would need to meet handicap requirements. Motion duly made by Joe Dunn, seconded by Barbara Flinn to accept the Certificate of Appropriateness with the provision that the applicant can go up to 36” wide on the window Informal Cynthia Cole, BID Review of Banners/Sails for Street Lights Banner colors for sails for street lights were presented. Banners would replicate an actual jib and main sail. Dave Colombo suggested utilizing white stitching for the piping. George Jessop thought the sails were a wonderful idea. Colors suggested from the Sumbrella catalog were Royal Blue and Jockey Red. Cynthia Cole said they may even change the colors according to the seasons. Thought was also taken as to placing the “block numbers” on the sails to indicate to pedestrians where they are on Main Street. Roy Catignani, Wings Requests review of alternate colors for Awning & Siding The darker awning color Terra Cotta #4622 from Sumbrella was approved as an alternate color since this company does not carry Benjamin Moore colors. Roy Catignani stated that this color would also become the prominent back color on sign. Harris Cream #80-10 from James Hadie Signing Products was also approved as acceptable color for the siding. Mr. Catignani requested that he be allowed to return to the committee with other suggestions than what the committee choice at the meeting of April 2, 2008 for the Pole Light. Public Comment

Informal Town of Barnstable, Growth Management Jo Anne Buntich Update on A-Frame Signs within Historic District Jo Anne Buntich reviewed the issue of A-Frames on Main Street and informed the Commission that GMD is in the process of gathering information from the Building Department and business owners on Main Street as well as the side streets in order to set up some guidelines and wishes to have the HHDC involved in this process. The goal is to formalize the structures and set definite guidelines on materials, type, graphics, etc. The Town wants to maintain the character of Main Street and pedestrian safety. Barbara Flinn stated that it is her understanding that A-Frame signs are not allowed and yet they are there and inquired as to what will be done for enforcement. Ms. Buntich replied that they are just in the gathering information phase and are waiting for it to be completed before taking on enforcement. Chairman Jessop stated that they have allowed A-Frames for certain businesses who are either off Main Street or who have frontage on Main Street but are set back and have set guidelines such as:

• No more than 2’ wide • No more that 3’ in height • Constructed of wood with steele frame (no plastic signs) • Weighted and taken in every night • No A-Frames are to be Menu Boards

Chairman Jessop requested that the Commission be kept informed before a final draft is completed. Ms. Buntich suggested that perhaps if guidelines are set and applicant meets those guidelines, they could go directly to the Building Department for permitting. Marina Atsalis voiced concern that this should come before the commission on a case by case basis. Request of Temporary Art – Rusher Park The Town was approach by Donald Gerola who currently has sculptures exhibited at the Highland Center in Truro as well as Barnstable Village. Mr. Gerola would like to give the Town of Barnstable his sculpture called the “Hummingbird” for a period of one year to be displayed at Rusher Park. The sculpture is 20 feet high and the top is kinetic (a weathervane effect). Chairman Jessop asked who would be responsible for the removal when the year ends and Ms. Buntich stated that it would be the Town’s responsibility. Chairman Jessop suggested that a removal time limit be set and that someone is assigned the task. The other issue is the specific location in Rusher Park. Ms. Buntich indicated that there should be a white flag indicating the exact location. The Commission will visit Rusher Park and send a letter to GMD after visiting examples of the Artists work in Barnstable Village. Ocean Street Shanties Marina Atsalis voiced concern that when the 1 year contract was over that the sculpture would remain as the shanties have remained for more than two years after this Commission voted to allow the Dockmaster’s Building provided the shanties were moved to Aselton Park. Businesses that had ocean or harbor views are now totally obliterated. Ms. Buntich responded that contracts have been signed with the Artists for the summer and that she has been informed the Shanties will be moved this winter. The Commission would like a commitment from the Town that the shanties will be relocated to the suggested site of Aselton Park and the edge of the Maritime Museum at the end of the contracted period. Having no further business before the Commission, Barbara Flinn moved, William Cronin seconded, to adjourn the meeting. VOTE: Unanimous Respectfully submitted, Marylou Fair Commission Assistant

Alice Oberdorf presented the architectural plans for the outdoor covered pavilion (plans included building located at 82 School Street as well – see next application). The pavilion will have solar panel collectors on the roof. The Pavilion will be utilized during the day for outdoor BBQ’s to feed the residents and combine the need to get their electric bills under control by adding the solar panels. The Pavilion will be set back facing South Street and stain will be light grey to keep it subtle. The Commission was in agreement that they should visit the Site before making a final decision. Joanne McMahon, an abutter to the property questioned if the Pavilion would be used for any other reason such as housing or parties and if it will be open to the general public. Paul Hebert reiterated that the use was for outdoor BBQ’s for their residents only and will not be used for housing. Ms. McMahon asked if there was any provisions in the plans for drainwater. The size proposed on a site which has a hill may create a problem with runoff from rain. The Commission will look at this as well when they visit the Site. Paul Hebert stated that they are under a time restraint as far as funding is concerned. The Pavilion would need to be completed by the end of September in order to receive the funding provided in a grant to encourage solar energy. If the project is not complete by this time, the grant money will be removed. Mr. Hebert asked if he could put the project out to bid and accept quotes in the meantime. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Marina Atsalis to continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to August 6, 2008. VOTE: Unanimous Certificate of Appropriateness Housing for All Corporation, 82 School Street, Hyannis, MA Map 327, Parcel 239-002 Represented by Alice Oberdorf, Akro Architects Build new gable roof structure, install solar panels, reshingle entire building Alice Oberdorf explained that they plan to overbuild a new gable roof structure over the flat roof area of existing building to receive solar panels. Suresh Jasrasaria of Borrego Solar displayed samples of the actual solar panels that will cover the roof on the south side. Mr. Jasrasaria explained that the panels will be placed where they will do the best use and not necessarily all over the entire roof. As this application is connected to 75 School Street as well, the Commission feels that should visit this Site at the same time. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Marina Atsalis to continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to August 6, 2008. VOTE: Unanimous

Certificate of Appropriateness Town of Barnstable, Guyer Barn Arts Center, 250 South Street, Hyannis, MA Represented by Patty Daley, Interim Director, Growth Management Department Memorial Bench (Pat Curcio) Patty Daley informed the Commission that she drove by the Site this evening and saw that the bench had been installed that day unbeknownst to her and apologized to the Commission. It is a three foot granite bench engraved in dedication to Pat Curcio and sits to the left of the Guyer Barn. If the Commission has any issues with the bench she will address them and it can be moved, if necessary. The only issue the Commission had was that they were being informed after the fact. Informal A-Frames on Main Street Patty Daley addressed the issue of A-Frames on Main Street and updated the Commission on the project. They are currently working on a way to regulate the size and quality. The latest discussions were with the Building Commissioner Tom Perry. Commissioner Perry feels that A-Frames should only be allowed by special permit by the Planning Board and approval of HHDC. His other suggestion was to perhaps allow banners that would be placed high enough not to cause any problems. They have backed off enforcing until a definitive plan can be worked out. Shanties Patty Daley stated that the shanties will be moved at the end of the summer when the contracts have ended for those Artists currently housed in them. She is looking for the HHDC’s input on suggestions as to where to relocate them. Town of Barnstable, Growth Management Department Review of Temporary Sculpture – Rusher Park Represented by Patty Daley and Artist Donald Gerola Mr. Gerola gave a background of his career and explained that he has generated 99 pieces and is displayed in many locations across the country. Locally his work is displayed in Barnstable and Truro and he wishes to be represented in Hyannis. The Commission feels that the Harborfront is not the appropriate place for this sculpture and not in keeping with the Historic guidelines they adhere to. William Cronin stated that he also belongs to the South Street Association and several members of this Association are in agreement that the sculpture does not contribute to the historic aspect of the harbor. Marina Atsalis stated that she is a great supporter of the Arts and it is not that they do not want art in the district, they want appropriate art. Barbara Flinn asked if the Artist would consider another location, perhaps at the West End of Main. Mr. Gerola asked if he could return when there was a full Commission so that he could receive the opinions of the entire board and the Commission agreed he is most certainly welcome to return when there is a complete board. Having no further business before the Commission, William Cronin moved to adjourn. The motion was seconded by Marina Atsalis. VOTE: Unanimous Respectfully submitted, Marylou Fair Commission Assistant

To all persons deemed interested or affected by the Town of Barnstable’s Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District Commission Ordinance under Chapter 112, Article III of the Code of the Town of Barnstable, you are hereby notified that a hearing was held in the basement level Conference Room of the School Administration Building at 230 South Street, Hyannis, MA at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 Call to Order: The Meeting was called to order at 7:08pm In attendance: George Jessop, Chairman; Barbara Flinn, Joe Dunn, William Cronin Continued Business Certificate of Appropriateness Wow – Latin Touch for Women Represented by Leonardo P. Calle, Owner Sign (Continued from May 21, 2008, June 4, 2008 & June 18, 2008, & July 2, 2008 & July 16, 2008) Applicant submitted new sign design prepared by Sign-It Sign Company and the Commission agreed it was a great improvement. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Barbara Flinn to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for a new sign as submitted this date, August 6, 2008. VOTE: So voted unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Town of Barnstable/Gallery @ 20 Pearl Street, 20 Pearl Street, Hyannis, MA Map 326, Parcel 015 New Sign (Continued from July 2, 2008 & July 16, 2008) Applicant requested another continuance to finalize sign. Certificate of Appropriateness Housing for All Corporation, 75 School Street, Hyannis, MA Map 327, Parcel 258 Construct Open Air Covered Picnic Pavilion with Solar Panels & Install Solar Panels on Existing Main House (Continued from July 16, 2008) Present to represent the Application were Alice Oberdorf of Akro Associates and Paul Hebert and William Smith of Housing for All Corporation. Alice reviewed their request to install an outdoor picnic pavilion with solar panels and to install solar panels on the Main building. A letter from Jane Walsh, an abutter to the property was read into the record and is attached to these Minutes. The space is needed for residents to gather during meal times and the solar panels will allow them to greatly reduce, and eventually, eliminate their electricity bill. The Commission voiced concern over the size and height of the pavilion and that it could dominate the site. Mr. Hebert stated that the back of the building is a big parking lot and the shorter end of the pavilion is towards the back. There are huge trees on the lot so they had to go high to utilize the solar panels. William Cronin asked how often would the Pavilion be used and for how many people. Mr. Hebert said it varies but typically lunch could be 8-10 people and Dinner could go as high as 40. Suppertime is from 5-6pm and quiet time begins at 9pm. There is staff 24 hours a day looking after residents and if any of the neighbors have any difficulty with noise a simple call to them with the problem and it will be addressed. Joe Dunn questioned the width of the Pavilion and inquired if it could also be reduced. After detailed discussion, it was agreed that the Pavilion could be reduced in width from 29 feet to 27 feet and a height reduction of 8 ½ feet. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Dunn to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness with the reduction of the pavilion structure height of 8 ½ feet and reduced width of 27 feet and the option to add a vent to the gabled roof of the pavilion and to approve solar panel installation on the Pavilion and on the Main Building.

George Jessop suggested that they may want to go with concrete posts instead of the bollards on the side of the building where they could be set into the ground far enough to do some good. The concrete posts can be painted or stained to match the ones in front. The Commission agrees that it would be good to see this area get cleaned up. The addition of the outside dining area will be seasonal. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Dunn, to accept the Certificate of Appropriateness as modified to reflect the substitution of concrete posts along the side of building and that the umbrellas be all one color.

Town of Barnstable, Growth Management Department Represented by Steve Seymour Erect Temporary Sculpture – Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority Steve Seymour was present to represent the Growth Management Team and reviewed the details of the sculpture as previously discussed with this Commission. The request is to place the sculpture on town owned land at the front of the Transit Authority as an alternate location to that previous proposed. Barbara Flinn asked if the Town would be under any obligation to purchase the sculpture and Steve Seymour stated that he did not believe so. William Cronin reiterated his previous statement that this sculpture does not contribute to the historic aspect of the area. Joe Dunn voiced concern over vandalism and liability. Due to the nature of the RTA area late at night, he wondered who would be responsible for policing. The element of this area at night could prove more problematic and something this size could be targeted for graffiti and the risk that someone would try and climb it is very real. George Jessop said he would like to see it installed at the Artist’s risk and that a condition could be added that town accept it pending that if it becomes a public nuisance within the one year or if the Police have to come X amount of times, then it would need to be removed. Barbara Flinn stated that she has to agree with William Cronin and Joe Dunn that the sculpture could prove to be problematic and that it simply does not fit in the Historic District. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Barbara Flinn to deny the Certificate of Appropriateness and decline to accept the statue for placement in the Hyannis Historic District. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Informal Verizon Communications Building, 49 Ocean Street, Hyannis, MA Map 326, Parcel 025 Review of Allowable Fencing Bruce Haselton was present to discuss allowable fencing as the property has been having repeated trouble with transients, drug dealings and prostitution. They have also had concerns with people climbing the cell tower. This site handles all E-911 calls as well as 911 calls for Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Bruce Haselton stated that they propose to remove the bushes at the front of the building facing Ocean Street as that should stop the overnight transients who have set up camp and wished to install a chain link fence. The Commission informed him that chain link fences are not allowable in the Historic District and suggested a wrought iron or even a steel fence that resembles wrought iron with spirals on top similar to what is on the south side of the building now. William Cronin suggested rounded curves for the top of the fence which would deter someone climbing over it. George Jessop stated that a 6’ fence is standard; however, if they wanted to try an 8’ fence it simply required a special permit by the Building Department. Mr. Haselton thanked the HHDC for their time and would file a Certificate of Appropriateness once they had decided on the design of the fence. NOTE: Joe Dunn Excused himself at 9:15pm Federated Church of Hyannis, 320 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Map 327 Parcel 074 Informal Review for Installation of Wrought Iron Fencing Roy Fogelgren was present to represent the Federated Church of Hyannis. He stated that they have a fairly large piece of property that has a well worn path through it that seems to be used as a highway and dumping ground for many people. They are constantly cleaning up litter and fixing overturned headstones in the cemetery. They would like to install a wrought iron fence with a spiral top that will eventually enclose the property. He has spoken to his abutters and they have voiced a willingness to participate in the costs of the project. The HHDC reviewed the design of the fence and determined this was acceptable and the applicant will file a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Chairman stated that he believed there was a restriction on the spacing of the balusters and suggested the applicant check with the Building Department. Park Square Professional Building, 94 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Map 327, Parcel 195 Chairman review of detailed drawings with Commission Members was tabled to the August 20, 2008 meeting.

Members Present: Chairman George Jessop, William Cronin, Barbara Flinn and Marina Atsalis Approval of Minutes Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by William Cronin to approve the Minutes of July 2, 2008 VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Continued Business Park Square Professional Building, 94 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Map 327, Parcel 195 Roy Catignani reviewed the exterior designs dated July 16, 2008 previously submitted and approved by this Commission. George Jessop would like to see a back band added to the window casings and Mr. Catignani agreed it would add an attractive feature to the windows. Pending cost and approval from his client, he sees no problem with incorporating this detail. At this time, Mr. Catignani asked for input from the Commission on a request from Site Plan regarding specifications on lighting. He understands that the Lighting Study for downtown Hyannis has been completed and the study gives discretion for on-sight lighting. As this project incorporates the adjacent building at 110 Main Street (which was completed approximately three years ago, prior to the lighting study) and will present a type of unified complex, he asked the Commission if there was some merit in keeping with the same lighting that is there. Barbara Flinn stated that she did see an advantage to keeping the lighting similar, however, would like the opportunity to view them again. Marina Atsalis felt that when they approved the 110 Main Street project they were not aware there would be another building and she does not feel this particular lighting would be appropriate for the new complex because this is a totally different building. George Jessop added that he would talk to Growth Management to see what their input might be and thought that perhaps they could match the pole and find a fixture that is similar to the other. Mr. Catignani presented three options of lighting and the Commission will take them under advisement.

Existing area includes deteriorating flower beds which would be removed/cleaned up and in place would be custom made benches with tables and a water feature on each side. The Commission requested to see photos of the benches and tables and Mr. Wood explained that since they are custom made, he does not have any photos. The Chairman explained that they need to see some type of a visual of the benches and what he is proposing. The Commission is not questioning the applicant’s integrity or desire to do a good job, it is that they need to have something with specifications on the material, design, size and appearance. Barbara Flinn suggested that if the applicant is convinced his builder can duplicate a replica of one of the pre-approved benches the Commission has in place, then have one made and take pictures to bring to the next meeting. The Chairman also suggested that if a bench is made prior to the next meeting he could call the Commission Assistant who will notify the members to conduct a site visit and view the sample.

He also expressed that he found the process to be frustrating. He stated that the Building Department has already signed off on this project and does not understand why this Commission can not. Chairman Jessop explained that what the applicant wishes is a custom project and only a very simple drawing has been submitted. The Chairman reiterated the Commissions suggestion from the last meeting that if he has confidence in his builder that the benches and tables will conform to historic standards, then he could have one sample made and the Commission would approve the entire project. In the meantime, the patio and railing can be approved exclusive of the furniture. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Barbara Flinn to approve the platform patio to be poured concrete and constructed level with the existing patio and the addition of the railings to match existing. This motion is exclusive of the furniture. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by David Dumont to continue the Certificate of Appropriateness for the furniture to September 17, 2008 and request that if the applicant is not prepared to go forward to contact the Commission Assistant.

Al Clarizia, an Abutter from The Sea Coast Inn was concerned about access to the dumpster they have along the property line. Mr. Haselton stated that they do not want to deny their abutters access to the dumpster, but the on-going problem with the transients in the area are a major concern. Chairman Jessop stated that although Verizon has the right to put the fence where they want, he questioned whether a compromise could be worked out. The truck that empties the dumpster does not need to drive in to do so, but actually wheels it out to the front and empties it there. Verizon agreed to have the fence stop where the gate begins just past where the dumpster is now and the Sea Coast Inn agreed to take down the decorative white fence and move the dumpster to this location. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by David Dumont to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as described.

VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Discussion Mullin Rule -Chairman Jessop discussed a recent e-mail he received from Growth Management regarding the adoption of the Mullin Rule by Town Council. The Mullin Rule is a local option that allows board members who have missed one meeting to participate in further meetings regarding a continued item if he/she review an agreed upon form of the public record (video, audio, minutes) and file an affidavit with the Town Clerk that this has been done. Chairman Jessop sent a return e-mail stating that the HHDC would be in favor of this Rule. Lighting at Park Square Professional Building – The Commission discussed the lighting currently in place at 110 Main Street and the option of utilizing the same or similar lighting for 94 Main Street. The opinion of the Commission is that the lighting in place seems small compared to the size of the pole and would not like to see this continued to the new building. Quality Concerns – The Commission discussed on-going concerns regarding signage, outside dining, patio furniture and what can be done to correct these issues. Public Comment None

He would like to request the Commission approve windows on the overhead doors and allow him to put vinyl siding up on the building. The Chairman reiterated that the Commission does not like to see vinyl siding and would recommend hardi-plank. The applicant explained that due to the economic times, the hardi-plank is not in his budget. The building in question sits approximately 400 feet from Main Street, is hardly visible, and this would be a temporary fix to improve the overall appearance of the building. When they are ready to sell the building, they would consider a more permanent method. The Commission members agree that the building is well set back from Main Street and you don’t have the foot traffic and it will be an improvement. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Dave Colombo to approve the request for modification to applicant to include windows on the four overhead doors and to allow vinyl siding on the building.

Quality Concern Discussion of Violations along Main Street regarding neon, outside dining and signage took place. A letter will be drafted to address the neon issue first. Letters will go out to violators with a specified date for the neon sign to be removed. If after this date, the neon sign is still present, the HHDC will send a Violations Form to the Zoning Enforcement Office. Other Business Fencing at Bismore Park – Chairman Jessop reviewed photos taken of the new fencing installed at the Comfort Station on Ocean Street and the Commissions viewpoint is that they do not care for the horizontal look or the spacing of the wood. Chairman Jessop suggested that the fencing be taken out and re-installed vertically and allow for spacing between the boards. Lighting on the underside of the building would help visually as well. Chairman Jessop stated that he would review these thoughts with the Building Commissioner. No Chain Bylaw – William Cronin stated that both Chatham and Dennis have instituted a No Chain Bylaw which prohibit chain stores on Main Street and he would like to propose that this Commission do the same. Chairman Jessop said that currently, if they do allow a chain store, they would be required to have a historic building. Dave Dumont and Dave Colombo both voiced concern as they do not think chain stores should be prohibited. There are several chain stores within the district now and they would not want to discourage new business. Public Comment None Respectfully submitted, Marylou Fair Commission Assistant

The Commission requested that the applicant file a Certificate of Appropriateness for the new sign installed without approval. *Review of Letter to be sent to Business Owners regarding illuminated lighting The Commission agreed the letter was appropriate and will continue to address the neon issue Informal ConServ Group, Roy Catignani Update/Review of Park Square Professional Building 94 Main Street, Hyannis, MA A discussion of available lighting fixtures was held. Roy Catignani explained that they have received a green light for a Special Permit from the Planning Board, but one of the conditions was that the lighting be compliant with the DIP. It is his understanding that that responsibility lies with this Commission. The applicant would like to match somewhat the lighting that is currently at 110 Main Street by utilizing the same size poles, but perhaps a larger light fixture. After reviewing a number of options, the Commission wishes to see a sketch submitted that reflects the dimensions of the model New London in both the Small (35 ½”) and the Large (42”). Dave Colombo suggested keeping the poles the same, but changing out the lanterns throughout the property and Mr. Catignani stated that he would bring this suggestion to his clients. George Jessop would like to see examples of the existing pole and light at 110 Main versus the new proposed lights at 94 Main and by viewing it side by side, the applicant may not have to consider changing out the existing lighting. Mr. Catignani will inform the Commission Assistant when he has these drawings available and will communicate through her to the Commission. Federated Church of Hyannis, 320 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Represented by Chris Raber, Architect Updates to Approved Certificate of Appropriateness Mr. Raber reviewed minor changes to originally submitted plans. Due to several reasons, they have made changes to the design for the main entry walkway and stairs as well as the work proposed for the alley to the east of the Church. Basically, due the need for the existing landing to increase from 4’.4” to 7’ and to rebuild the steps, they will change from natural stone walkways to stamped concrete. For the work in the alley and the new alley entry they will use colored stamped concrete in lieu of exposed aggregate concrete for the walkway and to substitute a wood framed stair and landing outside the new entry doors. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Marina Atsalis to approve the revised changes as outlined in plans dated September 17, 2008.

Quality Concern Christy’s of Cape Cod, 50 ocean Street, Hyannis, MA Map 327, Parcel 264 No representative present – applicant to file Certificate of Appropriateness Informal Outdoor Display Survey Cynthia Cole & Steve Seymour Update on BID Survey for Signage Cynthia Cole explained that the BID has sent out to local businesses a sign survey where they wish to get the business owner’s thoughts and wishes as to signage. They are currently working with the Town of Barnstable on a way finding mission that will help with vehicle traffic signs on Main Street and the Harbor area as well as pedestrian signs. She has done a survey of every sign on Main Street and is working with the ToB to get things cleaned up. They are leaning towards a common theme and colors for all signs. Ladder signs will not have specific business names; it will have icons and wording that says Café, Art Gallery, Restaurants and the icons will be a coffee cup, an artist’s pallet and a spoon & fork. The Pearl Street ladder sign she felt did not need to come before the Commission because it was based upon the Sea Street ladder signs that was approved by the HHDC. The Commission still would like to see future signs before they are put up and the Pearl Street sign does not meet the specific height requirement of 7’. They would like to see the post raised so that no pedestrian walks into it. Future colors will be those approved on the Sea Street sign. The Commission asked for a review of those colors when they come before the Commission formally with a design of the new signs Cynthia would also like to address the issue of the neon lights and the recent letters that have begun arriving at Main Street Businesses. When the survey results are in, they would like to form a taskforce and have the BID, Growth Management and the Building Department meet to put together ordinances for signs that will be acceptable to the Town. Have everyone on the same page and then enforce those who do not conform. Public Comment None Having no further business before the Commission, a motion was made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to adjourn the meeting at 8:30pm.

These were put up by the BID and the intent is to re-use the existing signs by repainting and re-lettering and attach them to new posts following the Sea Street and Pearl Street sign scheme. Cynthia Cole explained that the Commission had already approved the colors, the signs are the ones that the Commission approved nine years ago and now they would like approval on the lettering style of the signs. Barbara Flinn commented that the signs look like they have arrows pointing the way on each end of the sign. It was discussed that perhaps an arrow could be added to the end of the sign indicating the direction or you could blunt one end. It was noted that the post the signs are to be attached to have four sides and the sign will be positioned on the post in the direction indicating the way. Meaghann Kenney attended the meeting as the Artist who will be hand lettering each sign in a font called Mona Lisa. She indicated that in “general” the way the letters are pointing indicates the direction. Cynthia Cole asked the opinion of Mr. Pappas, a bystander and non-resident who was at the meeting for a separate issue, what his opinion was. Mr. Pappas felt that an arrow would help immensely. When the sign was held up for his review, he indicated the incorrect

direction for which the sign was designed. George Jessop sated that the signs need modifying by way of an arrow or perhaps to pinstripe an arrow on the end pointing the direction. There was discussion as to whether a car driving by would be able to make out the direction and lettering and it was reiterated that these are pedestrian signs. Steve Seymour suggested that Meaghann Kenney add the pin striping arrow to the signs she brought for review this evening and return to the Commission. George Jessop also asked if they could see the font of the entire alphabet. Approval for the placement of the signs was also sought. It was determined that a Field Workshop be conducted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 for members to visit the sites of the new sign. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to November 19, 2008 to allow for Field Workshop.

He has placed an initial offering on the buildings and would like to know the Commission’s views on the possibility of demolishing the existing structures and replacing it with one building with multiple units. George Jessop explained that whenever possible, this Commission would like to see buildings restored or at a minimum, preserve the façade. Mr. Pappas thinks it would be difficult to preserve the façade of three different buildings, perhaps one or two of the façade could be maintained. George Jessop commented that sometimes you can pick up one or two features of the building if you can not save the entire façade. Mr. Pappas stated he felt the members were open to the possibility of something going there and he would work with the Commission to try to save the historic aspects of the building. The Commission agreed to visit the site of these buildings while out on the Field Workshop for the Pedestrian signage.

George Jessop had asked for an example of the full alphabet of the font Mona Lisa and this was reviewed. It was also suggested that the signs be enhanced with an arrow-like pin stripping to indicate the direction. Steve Seymour stated that he thought there should be an actual arrow indicating the way and Barbara Flinn felt this would be wise to emphasize the arrow. George Jessop proposed a drafting arrow and drew an example which the Commission and Steve Seymour thought more appropriate than the subtle pin striping. Meaghann Kenney, the Artist painting the signs, mentioned that the Commission recommended reflective paint. It was also discussed that the two gold signs for the Town Hall and Melody Tent be outlined in a blue or black shadow. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as amended to incorporated the drafting arrow in reflective paints for all pedestrian signage.

Barbara Flinn asked if the patio would be enclosed and Mr. Crossen explained that it would not be enclosed, but it will have the wrap around flaps that could be brought down in case of inclement weather. George Jessop asked if there would be any egress from the building to the patio and Mr. Crossen stated that the customers would have to come around from the front of the building to access the patio. George Jessop asked why the fencing has not been completed per the previous approval and Mr. Crossen stated that the posts are in but the railings are not because the outside edge of the awning would be coming down to meet the top of the posts. The Commission voiced concern that the originally approved plans of 8/6/2008 have not been followed and the plans submitted for this project differ. Original approval called for 3 1/2” lally columns in concrete set 20 feet from property line, replanting of green area and a 5’ buffer from sidewalk. Ralph Crossen asked the Commission to go by the plan he submitted and not the plans of 8/6/2008 that they are referring to. Chairman Jessop explained that they have to go by the plans of 8/6/2008 as those are the ones approved by this Commission. George Jessop asked how far does the awning project from the front of the building and how will it match with the existing canopy. Dave Colombo voiced concern that the awning will extend over the sidewalk. Joe Dunn asked how this Commission can make any judgment when the plans they are looking at tonight are not what they approved. The Commission agreed that they need to visit the site to know the extent of the canopy and how it relates to the height of the building. George Jessop would like to know the perimeter height & pitch before the next meeting so that they have this information when they visit. Mr. Crossen will mark the site as it relates to the awning.

He did not have all the information at the last meeting and hopes to put these issues to rest. The posts are not for the awning as previously discussed. There are two sets of posts which will incorporate a more decorative fencing and add to the strength as the patio sits approximately a foot and a half off the ground. From the water valve line all the way down and along front he would propose raised planter beds approximately two railroad ties high. They would work with the Planning Board for appropriate vegetation. George Jessop questioned if the two sets of posts were a condition of Site Plan Review for safety reasons around the patio and asked Mr. Crossen to check with SPR for any documentation. The Commission would like to see a picture or a rendering of what the proposed fencing will look like. Barbara Flinn questioned if two railroad ties high would be sufficient and recommended they think about going with three. It would be helpful to see a specification sheet on the planters and George Jessop requested that the tree located on the Wing’s lot be included.

They wish to work with the Commission on this sign as well as many other changes they are planning. The new Copper Chimney sign was reviewed and accepted. The new peach color and the lattice work on the Main Street side of the building was discussed and the consensus of the Commission was that there could be a better color chosen that would be more suitable. It was asked that the applicant return to the next meeting with additional color options. Mr. Scovill presented a sign design for replacing the existing International Inn sign. It was explained that the new sign would be smaller as they intend to keep the bottom portion of sign that is illuminated and has interchangeable letterings but replace the top half. Sign would be wood and have columns made of wood with raised plastic letters identifying the different entities of the hotel. The Chairman suggested before they have the sign made that they check with the Building Department’s Zoning Officer to determine the amount of signage they are allowed. Chairman Jessop also suggested that they might want to do the arch on the top of the sign in copper to tie in with the new Restaurant. Mr. Scovill asked if they could paint the chimney copper or put a copper top on it. He also indicated that they would like to establish outside dining. The Commission relayed that they would be interested in seeing what they come up with and reminded applicants that any changes to the outside of the building would require the Commission’s review.

The topics encompassed Signs, A-frames, flags, mannequins, merchandise on tables, plantings, seasonal decorations, benches and outdoor seating other than that approved for outside dining. Although there was no clear definitive answers, it was discussed what everyone would or would not like to see. It was suggested perhaps an “Outdoor Display” category could be established that could incorporate many of the items discussed. Everyone agreed that the HHDC would be responsible for aesthetics and perhaps the Planning Board could have the authority to approve outdoor displays via special permit. It was also discussed that only ONE type of outdoor display be allowed for each business.

There are racking systems available that will allow them to eliminate the gable roof and still utilize the system. Mr. Hebert presented diagrams of two racking systems; a high rise and a low rise and their engineering company tells them there is no real difference between the both. William Cronin suggested the lower pitch so that those coming down School Street would not see the view from behind. Mr. Cronin also asked if they could erect a false façade on the back of the panels. Mr. Hebert stated that it could be cost prohibitive, but added that if any problem with neighbors should arise, he would not be objectionable to a false façade. Barbara Flinn added that they have always been willing to work with their neighbors and this Commission. Motion duly made by David Colombo, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the elimination of the gabled roof and using the low risers as presented.

Mr. Washington presented photos of building and indicated that the new sign will be placed in the same location as previous business and will be of the same size and shape. Consensus of Commission is that the proposed colors of yellow and red are very harsh. Would like to see a progression of colors and perhaps try to make the footprints in the sign three dimensional. The Commission also asked if the red border is supposed to be a surfboard, and the answer was yes. This also may want to be three dimensional and another color. The Commission suggests that the Applicant return to sign maker and ask for three options based upon these recommendations. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Barbara Flinn to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to July 1, 2009.

The applicant explained that the posts will be Azek, which the Commission would prefer. For the posts that will support the overhang, the Commission wishes a fluted design on all four sides of post and the applicant stated that it would not be a problem.

Site lines will be exact or in very few cases very close and all replacements will fit into current openings. Bill Cronin asked if they intend to replace the trim as it is in very bad condition. Jim McKinnell stated that they will address the trim around the windows but the entire trim work is not currently under this proposal. Mr. Cronin asked what materials will be used for the window trim. The driveway side panels are going to be repaired and repainted. Those along Main Street will be replaced with wood trim and pvc pipe. All will have fixed grills and the window over the front door will stay and be repainted and refurbished.

Fencing will be Ameristar Aegis II Industrial steel fence in black with a single rail on top. Marina Atsalis was concerned with the guardrail and asked if it could also be done in black and applicant suggested that they could paint it with a gloss black. A Motion was duly made by Joe Cotellessa, seconded by Paul Arnold to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for Security Fencing as amended to reflect the guardrails be painted in a black gloss. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Informal International Inn, 662 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Review of Color Sample for New Sign The Commission reviewed the color scheme for resurfacing their current sign and requests applicant, when formally applying, to bring color chips. The gold looked fine, but as this was a printed color copy they wish to see an actual color sample when submitting the formal sign application. Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District Scott Lajoie Trash Receptacles Scott Lajoie Mr. Lajoie wished to speak with the Commission regarding recycling receptacles and feels it is time that Main Street become active in the recycling efforts. He has been contacted by BigBelly Solar Compactor Company inquiring if this was something that could be incorporated along Main Street. The Company offered to do an analysis of costs/labor comparing the number of times our DPW Department would need to service the trash receptacles vs. a BigBelly Collection unit. Mr. Lajoie indicated that he would like to start with just a few and see how it goes. The Commission had concerns over this size of the units. Mr. Lajoie indicated that they are considering the two unit model not the three unit. The Chairman also thought that due to the size of these units, many individuals would empty their personal household trash. The HHDC would also like to know exactly where the units would be placed. High traffic areas such as outside Ice Cream shops and along the Walkway to the Sea. Joe Cotellessa stated that the trash units outside the Sturgis area and the 500 Block are always overflowing. The Members would like to actually see one of the units and asked that the BID let them know where a unit is currently being used. ttl Architects Update by Consultants on Main Street Historic Inventory Presented by Julie Ann Larry and Geoffrey E. Melhuish of ttl Architects Ms. Larry and Mr. Melhuish offered a power point presentation of their recent research of downtown Hyannis and the GIZ areas. They researched buildings that were primarily over 75 years of age and reviewed 350 properties within the HHDC focusing on any that could be nominated individually for the National Register. There was one property, the Main Street Post Office that received the highest rating of 6; however, with tonight’s vote to allow the window replacements, they will have to reduce this rating to a 5 as it will lose its significant historical architectural integrity. They also inventoried 111 properties 75 years and older in the GIZ zone and suggest another 35-40 properties should be looked at next and have submitted a list of these properties to the Historic Department. ttl Architects also suggests extending the HHDC to include Camp Street, Yarmouth Road and Cedar Street. Correspondence Received

Massachusetts Highway Department Letter re: Hyannis Steamship Authority Terminal Slip Improvements Barnstable Historical Commissions Letter in response to Steamship’s Slip Improvements Chairman Jessop explained that this has been referred to the HHDC by the Barnstable Historical Commission. No formal application has been submitted to this Commission; however, the site location is within the Hyannis Historic District. If a Building Permit is necessary to begin the work, it will be sent to the Hyannis Main Street Historic Commission for a sign off and, at that time, can be referred to a Public Meeting before work can begin. Other Business William Cronin requested that the Chairman be directed to set up a meeting with the Town Manager to discuss enforcement issues regarding Outside Dining. Having no further business before this Commission, a motion was duly made by Joe Cotellessa, seconded by Paul Arnold to adjourn at 9:10pm.

To all persons deemed interested or affected by the Town of Barnstable’s Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District Commission Ordinance under Chapter 112, Article III of the Code of the Town of Barnstable, you are hereby notified that a hearing was held at Town Hall, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Selectmen’s Conference Room, 2nd Floor 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 Members Present: George Jessop, Chairman, Barbara Flinn, Marina Atsalis, Joe Cotellessa, Alternate Members Present: William Cronin, Meaghann Kenney Staff: Steve Seymour Approval of Minutes Approval of Minutes of September 02, 2009 Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Minutes of September 02, 2009 as Submitted VOTE: So Voted Unanimously New Business Certificate of Appropriateness Talita Camilo dba Magnolia Flowers & Gifts, 29 North Street, Hyannis, Map 327, Parcel 001 Represented Talita Camilo New Sign No representation present Motion duly made by Marina Atsalis, seconded by Barbara Flinn to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to October 07, 2009. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Informal Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District Sample Units of Big Belly Solar Compactor Represented by Scott Lajoie, Hyannis Main Street BID and Bill Eddy of Big Belly Solar Compactor A sample unit was available to the members for their review and Mr. Eddy demonstrated the workings of the compactor. There is a 35 gallon inner bin which has a total capacity of approximately 5-1 which equals 175 gallons. Trash is deposited through a “mailbox” slot and when it gets to a certain height, there is an electronic beam/sensor that tells it when to compact. You do not have to wait while it is compacting as trash can be deposited at the same time. Empty it weighs 30 pounds and fully compacted 40-45

pounds. Runs on solar and can go 3-4 weeks before it needs sunlight. The customer maintains and the company provides warranties. Mr. Eddy stated that maintenance is minimal – a battery replacement every 4 years or so. The battery is an of-the-shelf motorcycle battery. When the unit gets full a flashing yellow light will detect an “almost full” indicator and then a red flashing light will indicate it is full. Someone would need to monitor the units or there is a wireless option to monitor via computer. Meaghann Kenney asked if there are any compactors currently in Historic areas. Mr. Eddy stated that they are located in Philadelphia outside of Independence Hall and in Boston at Fanueil Hall. There are 4,000 units world-wide in cities, parks and stadiums. On Cape Cod, locations include beaches in Harwich and at the Cape Cod Community College. The Department of Conservation in Massachusetts also has locations in Scusset Beach, Nickerson State Park and various places in Falmouth. Marina Atsalis pointed out that these locations on the Cape seem to be at larger areas such as parks and beaches. Main Street is a much smaller scale and this Commission has objected in the past to containers businesses put out and they should object to these. Bill Eddy commented that the current trash cans can get full, overflowing and can be tipped over and create more of an eyesore. Marina Atsalis suggested that perhaps the DPW needs to come out more often than the current 3 days per week. Because the trash receptacles are overflowing and getting tipped over is not enough of a reason to change to these units. This Commission spent an enormous amount of time and research to determine guidelines for benches, lighting, tree grates, etc and trash receptacles. She views the units as a wonderful idea for beaches, parks and conservation areas but not on Main Street. George Jessop stated that he recalls that the flared top of the trash barrels can be anchored to the ground to deter them from being tipped over. Steve Seymour reported that he has been contacted by DPW with regards to these units and inquired if there would be an option to locate the units somewhere other than Main Street or perhaps the Village Green or is there a way to enclose them so that they are more acceptable. George Jessop reminded members that at one time there was discussion to enclose newspaper dispensers and soda machines, however, the Commission ended up banning both along Main Street altogether. Barbara Flinn noted that she wouldn’t be opposed to one perhaps on a trial basis somewhere along the Harbor. Chairman Jessop reminded all that this discussion is simply an Informal Review and suggests that a Formal Application be submitted with exact number of units and suggested locations. Public Comment None Having no further business before this Commission, William Cronin moved and Joe Cotellessa seconded to Adjourn the Meeting at 7:40pm.

To all persons deemed interested or affected by the Town of Barnstable’s Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District Commission Ordinance under Chapter 112, Article III of the Code of the Town of Barnstable, you are hereby notified that a hearing was held at Town Hall, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Selectmen’s Conference Room, 2nd Floor at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, October 07, 2009 Members Present: George Jessop, Chairman, Barbara Flinn, Marina Atsalis, Joe Cotellessa, Dave Colombo, Dave Dumont Alternate Members Present: William Cronin, Paul Arnold Approval of Minutes Approval of Minutes of September 16, 2009 Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Minutes of September 16, 2009 as Submitted. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Continued Business Certificate of Appropriateness Talita Camilo dba Magnolia Flowers & Gifts, 29 North Street, Hyannis, Map 327, Parcel 001 Represented Talita Camilo New Sign Ms. Camilo explained that the new sign will be centered on the building over the window and door where the previous sign was. There will be a thin border around the sign. Marina Atsalis asked if the individual lettering that is on the windows now will stay. Ms. Camilo indicated that she would like it to, but that will be up to the building Department. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Submitted. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously New Business Certificate of Appropriateness Ocean Bay One, 175 Ocean Street, Hyannis, Map 326, Parcel 037 Represented by Cord Shore New Fence Mr. Shore indicated that they have replaced existing fencing and wish to add another 5-6 sections towards the rear of the property. This is for security reasons and the legal issues associated with pedestrians cutting across their lot from adjacent lots to catch the ferries. The members feel that the quality of the fence is not pleasing and wish to see alternate options. The fencing at The Black Cat was noted as being

of the same type and also in terrible condition. Marina Atsalis confirms that this fence has been there since the mid 1970’s and would also be required to adhere to the Historic Guidelines if they were intending to replace it. Her objection to this fence is that is was removed and replaced without approval of this Board. William Cronin suggested that both parties get together to see if a compromise on fencing could be worked out. The fencing that is currently being used for Dumpster Enclosures was discussed as a possible option and samples were given to Mr. Shore. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to October 21, 2009. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Williams Street Corp, 181 North Street, Hyannis, Map 308, Parcel 075 Represented by Paul Bishins & Anthony D’Onofrio Exterior Alterations, Parking Lot Renovation, Windows, Doors & Siding Mr. Bishins explained that when the canopy came down, the workers mistakenly removed all the siding as well. The original siding was grey hardi-plank with 8’ exposure and they propose to replace with hardi-plank and metal facing for the fascia. They will also be replacing windows and doors, however, on the East side the long strip of glass will remain. On the West side there is fencing on the roof and that is a power company issue and he stated that NStar is aware of it. Remaining now on the roof is an old air conditioner that will require a crane to remove and replace with a new air conditioner. Mr. Bishins offered sample colors for the hardi-plank and the consensus agreed with the Sandstone II Gentle Grey for the front of the building and hardi-plank Cobblestone JH40-10 for the remainder of the building. It was agreed that the trim over the windows will be Hunter Green. The applicant will return with alternate sample colors for the belt course strip over the window coursing. Dave Colombo inquired about the stockade fence on the west side of the building. Mr. Bishins replied that the fence is coming down and dumpsters are going in. The State will have the dumpsters properly installed and fenced. The landscaping plan will need to be postponed until Spring as they are not prepared at this time. They will return with a parking and landscaping plan. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as follows: Metal fascia in as neutral a color as possible so as not to contrast with the grey siding or granite façade, siding will be JH40-10 with exposure proposed at 8’ or less, material for front elevation to be Sandstone II Gentle Grey for body (pending review of alternate strip color) aluminum windows with insulated glass and Hunter Green trim to match existing buildings, east elevation windows are the original configuration in a new frame and glass.

Informal Town Hall Exterior Envelope Repair Jo Anne Buntich, Interim Director for the Growth Management Department was present and introduced Michael Teller of CBI Consulting. Mr. Teller noted that he has been asked by the Town to consult for a number of buildings regarding historical restoration. With the Town Hall project the major concern is the slate roofing and true historical restoration is the goal. His recommendation was to go with the right materials such as slate roof. Original slates when installed over 100 years ago, were one of the finest, however, they were installed with very short steel nails that have rusted through and portions are falling. There are also a lot of cracks and slipped slates. Joe Cotellessa asked what they intend to replace it with. Mr. Teller stated Vermont unfading black slate is the intent with the proper nails. Barbara Flinn asked if any current slate can be re-used. The project calls to take the entire roof down as 70-75% are no good. The Town does intend to cull through and keep the good ones for other town buildings or to sell them. The other issue is deteriorated copper which has been damaged by being taken off and not replaced properly. The green patina is starting to wear away. New copper gutters will be replaced, but with brass bars. The masonry is going to be the most important part of the project. Tremendous amounts of mortar are missing which allows too much water to get in. The windows are the final part of the project and the current windows are a replacement style aluminum which have been repeatedly repaired over the past 20 years. Proposing a wood, aluminum clad outside that will look like wood when painted and you can actually open them. The half round windows now have Plexiglas around them for some reason. Every window in the building will be replaced. Mr. Teller stated that the goal is to find the original detail on the windows and duplicate same. Chairman Jessop stated that he appreciates the effort to utilize proper materials and understands that they are costly, but will last for such a long time. The Chairman asked for a Vote of the Commission to Approve the changes addressed this evening as Maintenance and Repairs. VOTE: AYE: Jessop, Flinn, Cotellessa, Atsalis, Dumont, Colombo, Arnold NAY: Cronin (Due to the Utilization of most of the Remaining CPC Funds) Public Comment None Having no further business before this Commission, Joe Cotellessa moved and Barbara Flinn seconded to Adjourn the Meeting at 9:10pm.

OCTOBER 21, 2009 To all persons deemed interested or affected by the Town of Barnstable’s Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District Commission Ordinance under Chapter 112, Article III of the Code of the Town of Barnstable, you are hereby notified that a hearing was held at Town Hall, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, MA Selectmen’s Conference Room, 2nd Floor 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Members Present: George Jessop (Arrived 7:40pm), Chairman, Barbara Flinn, Marina Atsalis, Dave Colombo, Alternate Members Present: William Cronin, Meaghann Kenney Vice Chair Barbara Flinn began the Meeting at 7:05pm as Chairman Jessop was delayed returning from Nantucket Approval of Minutes Approval of Minutes of October 07, 2009 Continued to November 4, 2009 Continued Business Certificate of Appropriateness Ocean Bay One, 175 Ocean Street, Hyannis, Map 326, Parcel 037 Represented by Cord Shore (Continued from October 7, 2009) New Fence Mr. Shore presented pictures for reference of neighbors that are directly adjacent to or within 150 feet of his property and the types of fences they have. Properties located on either side of his property (The Black Cat and Hyannis Harbor Hotel) have stockade fences as does the Angler Club which he believes has been newly erected. Applicant also provided photos of stockade fencing at Harborside Ice Cream, Cape Cod Hospital and the new Walkway to the Sea behind the Maritime Museum and The Steamship Authority. He would like to propose a similar fence to these with encased posts and a decorative cap on the posts. Marina Atsalis noted that some of these fences indicated in the photos have been up since before the HHDC began enforcing the guidelines and there have been problems with enforcement regarding some of the newer fences. The issue is the way the fence has been installed. Dave Colombo indicated that the fencepost are 5/5 round rough wood and have been installed incorrectly. As far as allowing a stockade fence, that can be discussed, but his concern is with the installation of the fence. Mr. Shore explained that in this area, when you dig down 7-12” you will encounter a silt and water soaked ground and after 16” you are in water. Barbara Flinn asked if the Applicant has had a chance to talk with The Black Cat about the possibility of installing one fence and Mr. Shore stated that his Office has tried to contact them, but have not been able to connect. Speaking strictly for himself, he would be willing to take down The Black Cat’s fence at his cost and install an approved fence from this Commission if they can come to terms. Bill Cronin recalled that at the last meeting, this Commission asked Mr. Shore to return

with 3-4 alternate options for fencing and wishes to know what the Applicant is proposing. Mr. Shore noted that he is offering to replicate what is around the neighborhoods. The Commission’s position is that any new fencing will need to comply with the new guidelines outlined approximately a year ago. Mr. Shore indicated that he has spoken with one of his Contractors and they came down and looked at the pre-approved fence. One option was to add a cap on the post and add a top rail with a decorative railing so you don’t see the top of the stockade. Barbara Flinn suggested the Commission continue the Application so that alternatives can be presented. Bill Cronin would like to see a fence that allows light and air and separation between the properties. Dave Colombo would like to see alternative heights options. Motion duly made by Dave Colombo, seconded by William Cronin to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to November 18, 2009.

Unfortunately, they installed a chain link fence.

There are now six doctors in this location and there is a need to be able to identify each doctor at this location for easy access by patients. He has been to the town to obtain approval for the increase in the size of the sign. Marina

Atsalis suggested they make the circle with the number of the address into a sea shell. Mr. Catignani said he would pass this recommendation onto his client. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Barbara Flinn to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Submitted. VOTE: So voted Unanimously Informal Mr. Arthur Pappas, 328-330 Main Street, Hyannis Update on Status of Building Mr. Pappas and Architect Peter Brown were present. Mr. Pappas reminded the Board that he had visited them last November regarding his desire to purchase the property known as The Mayflower Block. Last year, several members made a site visit to the property as the members wanted to see if the façade could be saved and it was the consensus that this would be difficult to do. He has since bought the buildings and the “shed like” buildings to the right of Tommy Doyle’s are not worth keeping. He has begun some roof, door and window repair on the building on the corner of Main and Barnstable Road and Tommy Doyle’s. Going beyond that, he has engaged Architect Peter Brown for suggestions and review by this Board. Peter Brown presented sample of proposal which includes the demolition of the two buildings east of Tommy Doyle’s and rebuild a one story. In this proposal, he has considered the massing and scale of the building as well as the historic concepts outlined in this Commission’s Guidelines. The Tommy Doyle’s building is 24’ wide and the façade of the new building is broken down in 24’ sections as well. Red brick and stone is proposed and pedestrian frontage will be enhanced for both pedestrians and auto traffic by the installation of awnings, benches, bollards and a clock tower. The new façade will be broken up into two separate retail buildings. An important factor is the Church next door which is very large. He proposes windows on the corner of this side of the building and the width will be the same as Tommy Doyle’s but set back from the sidewalk approximately a foot and a half. This new building will have awnings over the windows that project onto Main Street and a clock tower in the middle of the building. Bollards will be placed on each side of the two entrance doors to separate retail businesses. Dave Colombo discussed the Clock Tower and although he liked the idea, he would like to see a different design similar to the one proposed by Wing’s and the College Campus at the 500 block. Perhaps with wood rather than the metal, with raised panel, molding or crowns on each side. Frames for windows and door will mirror the color of the awnings which will be a forest green. Mr. Brown also stated that the back of the building needs to be addressed and they may as well do all that at the same time. Jo Anne Buntich added that if they are going to make changes to the parking areas, they may want to see Site Plan Review first. Chairman Jessop thanked Mr. Pappas and Mr. Brown and noted that they look forward to seeing final plans submitted to this Commission. Having no further business before this Commission, a motion was duly made by Dave Colombo, seconded by William Cronin to adjourn the meeting.

Swetish Replace Decking, Railing and Stair Treads Mr. Swetish detailed the proposed replacement of existing railings stair treads and decking with azek material. The decking is located below grade level. William Cronin added that he was out to the site and the stairs are very dangerous as the steps are all rotted. Marina Atsalis asked if the height of the railing will remain the same and Mr. Swetish noted that the railing has to be 42” by building code and the existing is approximately 30-35” so it will be a bit higher. George Jessop asked applicant to check with the building department if he intends to wrap/box the railings as it is his understanding that the structure needs to be visible if it also is an egress. Mr. Swetish indicated that the rails will be PVC material. Mr. Swetish also wished to inform the Commission that the decking color has been changed to ivory instead of the grey originally submitted.

Motion duly made by Joe Cotellessa, seconded by William Cronin to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as amended to reflect Ivory decking. So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Cape Cod Maritime Museum, 135 South Street, Hyannis, Map 326, Parcel 061 Represented by Janet Preston Repaint Existing Sign Marina Atsalis pointed out that this new sign will match the sign that exists on the building.

So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Black Whale Gallery, 349B Main Street, Hyannis Map 327, Parcel 114 Represented by Nancy Lyon Replace Existing Sign Meaghann Kenney recommended to the applicant that she choose one solid color for the background as compared to having a brushed effect of yellow and white. The lettering of the sign will be more pronounced if you go with one color. Applicant is receptive to this and a solid yellow or a cream color will be applied. Motion duly made by Marina Atsalis, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Amended to reflect a solid background color of yellow or cream. So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Vera, Mary, 32 Pearl Street, Hyannis Map 326, Parcel 017 Enclose Porch with Windows Mr. & Mrs. Vera were present and informed the Commission that they wish to enclose their open porch with glass windows and a door to prevent vagrants from accessing and living in the open porch. Staff neglected to provide Commission Members with photographs of existing porch which the Commission felt was necessary to review the project. William Cronin would also like to see something done with the garage windows as the frames are rotting and some of the glass panes are broken. Mr. & Mrs. Vera agreed that the windows on the garage need to be addressed as well. Staff will provide photographs of the porch to Members in their next packet. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to November 18, 2009 pending receipt of photographs. So Voted Unanimously Discussions For Lease or Rent Signage George Jessop informed the Commission that he has received a few calls/comments on the many for lease or rent signs that are appearing along Main Street and, in particular, the size of said signs. He believes that there is a need to limit the size of such signs and has spoken with Dave Colombo as a representative of the BID to have Dave speak with the Main Street Businesses and report back to this Commission.

Bill Cronin asked how high the fence would be and Mr. Shore replied that it will be 6 feet high. George Jessop asked if the applicant would be cutting down what is there now and Mr. Shore explained that they will replace the posts which will be cemented for more stability. David Dumont asked if there would still be two fences at the section that abuts The Black Cat. There would remain two fences as Mr. Shore has not had any response to his inquiries. Dave Colombo noted that the fence that is currently installed does not match the sample Mr. Shore has presented and asked if it was the applicant’s intention to take down the round posts and professionally install square ones. Mr. Shore responded that they will be replacing the posts with square ones and installing them with a concrete tube base that goes down approximately 3-4”. Dave Colombo also

asked the applicant if he would be taking down the fence that is there now and have it professionally installed and Mr. Shore indicated yes they would be taking down the newly erected fence and that they would also gravel and then cement. In addition any future replacement fencing will be of this design as the first 25 sections of fence are grandfathered. Barbara Flinn asked how many feet are grandfathered and the applicant indicated 25 sections and each section is 200 feet. Marina Atsalis noted that it would be appropriate that the whole fence should look the same including the first 25 sections and Dave Colombo asked if it was the applicant’s intention to replace the entire fencing including these 25 sections. Mr. Shore noted that he is not authorized to approve replacing the entire fence and would request a continuance to allow him time to speak with the persons who are authorized. Dave Dumont noted that he likes the sample fence but also feels that it should be a complete replacement so that it all looks the same and would like to see it not exceed 4 feet. Dave Colombo also added that a 4 foot fence would accomplish what he is seeking and believes the neighbors would also appreciate this. Bill Cronin again noted that he would like to see 3-4 options and would like one to allow light and air in. Mr. Shore noted that he can not have a fence that has openings due to liability. Barbara Flinn summarized that the Board would like the entire fence replaced and perhaps there is something between 4 feet and 6 feet that both parties could agree to. Bill Cronin added that he also would like to see a four foot fence but one that lets air and light in. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Dave Colombo to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to December 2, 2009. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Vera, Mary, 32 Pearl Street, Hyannis Map 326, Parcel 017 Enclose Porch with Windows (Continued from October 21, 2009 & November 04, 2009) George Jessop reviewed the proposed project and photos of the existing open porch. In reviewing the project it was observed that the door the applicant proposes to install is approximately 3 feet. The opening of the porch is at least 4-5 feet and the members wished to know what would be installed between the columns of the porch and the door opening. A rendering of the complete project was requested. Motion duly made by Bill Cronin, seconded by Barbara Flinn to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to December 2, 2009. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously New Business Certificate of Appropriateness The Second Coming Thrift Shop, 255 Main Street, Hyannis, Map 327, Parcel 247 Represented by Valquiria Wood Sign Ms. Wood explained that she is moving her business from Dennisport to the Furman Building on Main Street and would like to utilize her existing sign. The size of the sign is 2’x4’ aluminum with 1” burgundy frame to match the coloring in the sign. She is considering painting the frame black to match portions of the building. The Board had no objection to either the burgundy or black frame, but would like to see a frame around the sign. Dave Colombo asked if there were any other plans for the building. Ms. Wood indicated that there would be a detailed cleaning of the building, but no major project. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Bill Cronin to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Submitted.

VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Hudson H. Baxter, 133 Pleasant Street, Hyannis, Map 326, Parcel 056 Represented by Hudson H. Baxter Exterior Alteration – New Siding Mr. Baxter presented sample of Harvey siding called Cedar Impressions Natural Certainteed”. The siding to be replaced is on the south side and will wrap around to the front porch. He does not intend to re-side the north portion of the building as it is not weathered. Marina Atsalis asked how closely this product would match the side he is not replacing and Mr. Baxter noted that this product will match the color closely. George Jessop stated that this Commission does not normally approve vinyl siding but asked for the member’s opinion. Barbara Flinn asked what the warranty is on the Harvey vinyl siding and Mr. Hudson did not have that information available. George Jessop advised the applicant that one of the problems with the vinyl siding is that plastic siding brittles with age and Barbara Flinn added that if you get a hot day, it waves. George Jessop added that he has recently discovered a 50 year warranted shingle that weathers to a driftwood gray. It is a natural product of southern yellow pine and ages as white cedar shingles age. This product is available for viewing by the applicant at 200 Main Street if he is interested. Dave Dumont suggested that it might be a good idea for the applicant to research other acceptable products and return at a later date. Motion duly made by Joe Cotellessa, seconded by Barbara Flinn to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to December 2, 2009. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Other Business 181 North Street, Exterior Alterations The Members reviewed the alternate samples for the belt course strip over window coursing and found most of the samples to be of the same gray color. George Jessop thought an ash white would contrast nicely. It was discussed to ask applicant to return with samples of ash white and also an autumn brown. For Lease/For Rent Signage George Jessop has reached out to Dave Colombo as President of the BID to ask for his help/suggestions in directions on For Lease and For Sale signs that have become increasing larger along Main Street. Dave Colombo agreed to discuss this with businesses along Main Street to see if they can not achieve a compromise as to size, color, etc. Having no further business before this Commission, a motion was duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to adjourn the Meeting at 8:30pm.

Approximately one week after this visit, Mr. Shore was notified that portions of the grandfathered fencing had fallen and there was broken posts and debris. It is still his intention to replace all of the posts along the entire property and to cap both the posts and the top of the fence to eliminate the picket slates and that when completed would be in accordance with the specifications of this Committee’s pre-approved fence guidelines. Dave Colombo asked if they would hire a contracting company to complete the work and Mr. Shore stated that he has been in touch with Reliable Fence. Dave Colombo noted that it is nearly impossible to replicate the guidelines with the existing fence and reiterated that a 4 foot fence would be appropriate and also be easier to support than a 6 foot fence. George Jessop added that the guidelines call for a fence that is the same on both sides. The slates of the picket fence are rounded on one side. Bill Cronin added that if you have a security problem, the height of the fence is not going to resolve this. Mr. Shore explained that he would incur a substantial expense to replace the entire fence and he proposes the Committee allow him to attempt two sections and schedule a site visit for the members to review. George Jessop added that he would like to see the newer section of fence relocated towards the front of the property along Ocean Street and the older fence towards the rear. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Dave Colombo to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness and to allow the Applicant to modify two sections of fencing as requested. Applicant will notify Staff when completed and a Site Visit will be scheduled.

George Jessop suggested that the logo needs more white space around each side to accentuate it and would recommend another 3” in diameter. Barbara Flinn agrees and added that applicant may want to make the sign rectangular rather than square if the building sign code would allow. Staff instructed Mr. Pappas to check with the Building Department as to the allotted amount of signage allowed. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Modified to allow for an additional 3” on top and each side and 6” on bottom.

VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Certificate of Appropriateness Pappas Family Trust, 328/330 Main Street, Hyannis Map 327, Parcels 091, 092, 093 Represented by Peter Brown, Architect Rebuild One Retail Building at above address Mr. Brown detailed drawings of the new building noting that the guidelines of this Commission as well as those of Growth Management were taken into consideration with regards to the scale of the building, materials and even the proposed clock tower. Although this will be one building, visually, they have designed the building to look like two separate ones with the clock tower located in the middle. The rental unit identified as #2 in the plans is very dark as there are no windows. Revised plans dated 1/6/2010 and submitted this evening propose the addition of three dome skylights. Dave Colombo noted that the Commission prefers canvass for the awning rather that the vinyl proposed and Mr. Brown and Mr. Pappas indicated that they also would prefer the canvass. Dave Dumont requested the applicant provide a sample of the awning, as well as samples for all of the materials proposed. Mr. Brown stated they would provide samples of all materials. Marina Atsalis inquired about the bollards on either side of the entrance doors and Mr. Brown noted that they are both decorative as well as for safety when the doors are opening. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Marina Atsalis to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for design submitted and dated 1/6/2010 pending submission of sample materials.

Pappas Family Trust, 20 Barnstable Road, Hyannis Map 327, Parcel 081 Represented by Peter Brown, Architect Construct 2 Car Garage 22’ x 26’ Design for the new garage was reviewed. Plans propose wood frame building, two fiberglass overhead doors with four panel windows, Andersen 400 series double hung windows on either side of gable end, and a cupola on top of building made out of aluminum. George Jessop questioned the need for the windows and noted security issues could arise and suggested they eliminate the panel windows on the over head door and substitute a barn sash on either side of the gable ends rather than the double hung windows. Mr. Brown stated that the applicant would prefer not to have the windows, but they were designed because the thought was that this Commission would prefer them. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Modified to reflect the elimination of the four panel glass on overhead garage doors, the elimination of the double hung windows on each gable end to be substituted with a barn sash no more than 13” in height and the submission of revised drawing. VOTE: So Voted Unanimously Public Comment Mr. Roy Fogelgren was present representing The Federated Church and wished to ask what the use of the garage and the new building would be and if the clock tower would chime as they did not want it competing with the Church’s chimes. Mr. Pappas replied that the garage use is for storage and vehicles and that he does not intend to have the clock make any noise. Jo Anne Miller Buntich was present and stated that allowable uses for the building is both retail and office space. NOTE: The Commission, at this time, asked Mr. Fogelgren about the Chain-link fence that has been installed at the Church. Mr. Fogelgren stated that he understands that chain link fences are not appropriate for the Historic District, but that this was done “not on his watch”. He asked what the Commission would like him to relay and Chairman Jessop suggested the Church file a Certificate of Appropriateness.

Per the suggestions of this Commission, the newer sections will be placed closest to Ocean Street and the older sections towards the back. Dave Colombo wished to have assurances that the installation of the posts be done by a professional and reiterated that all of the fencing, including the grandfathered sections, will have the trim, center bar and posts re-constructed. William Cronin stated that at each of the previous meetings he has asked Mr. Shore for alternatives and none have been offered. In addition, at each of the previous meetings he has stated his belief that the height is too high and does not allow for light and air to get through. He can not support this application unless it is at least two feet lower. Barbara Flinn and Dave Colombo also commented that they also believe that the fence is too high, however, the Town does allow for a six foot fence. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by William Cronin for the purpose of discussion, to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for 175 Ocean Street with modifications to redesign to meet historic guidelines and be of a natural finish, new sections to be installed at the Ocean Street side and post to be set in concrete. Discussion: William Cronin wished to note that there is no right to put the fence up with the Historic Commission, there may be with the Town.

Ms. Lowell then introduced Sarah Holt, a local artist whom she has contacted to present hand-drawn porcelain samples of a variety of food related images to incorporate into the present fascia of the building. The existing awning will come down and the painted porcelain would be added to the front of the building.

So Voted Unanimously Informal Discussion Jo Anne Miller Buntich, Director Growth Management Department Discussion on Enforcement Issues Jo Anne Miller Buntich was present to address the concerns of the Members regarding enforcement along Main Street. Ms. Buntich informed the Commission that they are presently constructing a spreadsheet of all properties by Map/Parcel number and address and indicating which properties have received Historic permission and including a copy of each of the decisions. This could be a tool for the members when researching which projects have or have not come before their review. This is a time-consuming task and she hopes to have this spreadsheet completed soon. The Town Manager has indicated that he would like to, along with the Members of this Board and Growth Management, take a walk down Main Street. William Cronin suggested a Sunday morning as the street is fairly empty at this time. Jo Anne Buntich informed the

Commission that once the spreadsheet is completed and the information is organized, she will coordinate a time for everyone to come together. Amendment to Zoning Ordinance – Sign Regulations Jo Anne Buntich also was present to review the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Section 240-60 as it relates to the sign regulations in the HVB District. The Planning Board will be holding a Public Hearing, Monday, May 24, 2010 and she encouraged the members to attend or submit their written comments. In reviewing the amendment information, concerns were raised regarding:

Trade Flags and the punctuation on the phrase “letters”, Open/Closed signage should be at pedestrian level and 22”x14” is too large Trade Figure or Symbols should have a depth and acceptable materials clarified Determine if there is a preference to the acceptable materials for Hardship signs

William Cronin noted that the proposed new ordinance stated nothing about having to come before this Historic Commission and Ms. Buntich explained that the proposed ordinance is for the HVB zoning district, which is larger than the Historic District. Currently, all signs that are permitted in the Historic District must come before this Commission. Other Business Chairman Jessop asked if any correspondence from member, Joe Dunn had been received at the Historic Offices, and hearing that none had been received asked the members for a Vote. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to remove Joe Dunn from the Roster of Members effectively immediately.

New Business Certificate of Appropriateness Newman Properties, 357 Main Street, Hyannis, Map 327, Parcel 115 Represented by Matt Newman Replace Windows, Replace Clapboard with White Cedar Shingles on South facing side Mr. Newman explained that they wish to replace 41 windows, but will not be replacing the retail windows on front façade facing Main Street. The existing windows are vinyl/ wood and they will like to replace vinyl/vinyl with a one over one pattern. They would also like to replace the clapboard on the back of the building with white cedar shingles as the clapboard requires re-painted every 1-2 years as it is south facing. Chairman Jessop noted that with straight vinyl windows and the brick masonry walls on this building the windows will expand and contract and may damage the brick work. Applicant commented that the windows are vinyl now and that is not a problem. George Jessop stated that he viewed these windows and he believes the windows were set into the old wooden frames and Mr. Newman asked if they could simply set them into the existing casings as well. Marina Atsalis wanted to know if applicant would be willing to consider a 4/4 or 6/6 window pattern as it may be more appropriate. Mr. Newman indicated that all of the windows have different patterns and the top windows, which are not being replaced, have single 1/1 patterns and he believes the windows on the 1st and 2nd floors will look out of place. Marina Atsalis asked if some of the brickwork has been in filled to make the windows smaller and Applicant was not certain. Marina Atsalis added that she would like to see multi-paned windows, especially on the Village Green side. George Jessop asked about the manufacturer, Diamond, which is proposed and commented that Andersen and Marvin both make replacement windows that may be less expensive. Mr. Newman stated that they did look into Andersen windows and they were approximately 4 times the price of the quote from Diamond. The Diamond windows the screens go up and down, and with the existing windows, the screens stay in place. It was discussed that double hung 6/6 window pattern would be preferred and Applicant asked if a 6/1 pattern would be acceptable. George Jessop asked if there were any examples of the 6/1 Diamond windows locally that the members could view and suggests continuing the application to the next meeting. Mr. Newman indicated that he could check with his Office if there is a property locally that has these windows, in the meantime, could they address the siding issue and the basement windows that are currently boarded up with plywood. They wish to re-side the south facing portion of the property with white cedar shingles and replace the plywood boarded windows with brick & stucco. Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Marina Atsalis to Approve the Re-siding of the south facing portion of the building with White Cedar Shingles and to replace the basement windows with brick & stucco. So Voted Unanimously Motion duly made by Barbara Flinn, seconded by Marina Atsalis to Continue the Application for 41 Window replacements to June 2, 2010. So Voted Unanimously

The Members also voiced concern over the amount of signage that is located on the windows of the business. Meaghann Kenney commented that she does like the cityscape element, however, suggests eliminating all the wording on the right side of the sign. The less wording is the easiest to read. It was also suggested to change the border color to black rather than red and eliminate the bullets. The Members would like to see a revised proof and suggested a Continuance. Motion duly made by Meaghann Kenney, seconded by Barbara Flinn to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to June 2, 2010.

Thiago Souto dba Urban Zone, 507 Main Street, Hyannis, Map 308, Parcel 093 Represented by Thiago Souto New Sign (Continued from May 19, 2010) Mr. Souto returned with a new design of the sign with Committee suggestions. Marina Atsalis asked if rather than a slash (/) between the words Men’s & Women’s, could he place just a bullet. Meaghann Kenney thought the previous sign where the cityscape was across the whole area of the sign and the name of the business being much larger was more appropriate. William Cronin stated that it is still too busy. George Jessop agreed and commented that exterior signs need to convey quickly what it is you are offering. Suggested that the applicant make the background the city skyline, extend the Urban Zone name to one line and increase the size of the font. Also to clean up the amount of verbiage as there is a white fascia background which will allow more “white space”. Motion made by Marina Atsalis, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Continue the Certificate of Appropriateness to June 16, 2010 at 7:00pm. So Voted Unanimously New Business Certificate of Appropriateness United States Post Office, 385 Main Street, Hyannis, Map 327, Parcel 116 Represented by Jim McKinnell & Gail Tractenberg Exterior Repair – Repoint Masonry Walls, Repair & Resurface Wood Trim & Siding Mr. McKinnell noted that when they were previously before this Board for window replacements, it was asked when they would be getting to rotted trim that needed replacing. They very rarely get to do all the work necessary in the same year, but they did pass along the comments received and have approval to go forward. They would now like to propose the final stage to replace all of the rotted trim. The oldest trim is on the North side and in the best condition and they are maintaining it as much as they can. They intend to strip down the lead paint and repaint. The majority of the rotted wood is on the courtyard side. If you have had a chance to see the windows that are currently being installed, you can see the wood replacement below and this proposal would be in the similar fashion. There is some pvc replacements in the new panels and you can not tell the difference once it has been painted. Motion duly made by William Cronin, seconded by Joe Cotellessa to Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as Submitted.
