Planning Board minutes of December 14, 1978.
At the Board meeting of December 14, the Council and Village Attorney
were asked to review the background of the painting of the Spear home at 93rd
Street and Bayshore Drive, because it is not the same color as was originally
presented and it is not harmonious with the neighborhood. A Certificate of
Occupancy had been pending on this house in consideration of the paint. It was
Mr. McIntosh's opinion that the Certificate of Occupancy should be authorized
as we have no basis to rule on color. Mr. Fann advised that it is not necessary
for the Council to take action on this matter.
In the discussion it was suggested that the Planning Board consider
specifics of harmony and color in formulating new neighborhood standards.
