Ms. Master explained that subsequent to the Board's previous approval of paint colors for • oI • • • MINUTES MARCH 15, 1999 HISTORIC PRESERVA ON BOARD PAGE 2 it the walls, windows and trim last February, Mr. Lubien, had unilaterally refused to issue a permit for the approved colors indicating that these colors, in his subjective opinion, were not "pastel" enough, and that there was no evidence in the record that there was a historic precedent for them on this particular house. All members of the Board were quite disturbed and irritated at this revelation, citing the fact that the only avenue for review of a decision of the Board is to the Village Counsel. Although the Board was adamant that Mr. Lubien lacked the authority or the jurisdiction to overrule a decision of the Board of this nature, the applicants wished to withdraw their original application and Board approved color choices and seek approval for colors that had historic precedence on this particular house. They felt that Mr. Lubien then would have no valid grounds to object, whether or not he personally liked the colors. Ms. Master then indicated that she scraped one of the original windows down to the original paint, which was dark blue. Mr. Bittner noted that his home on 1 Avenue originally had the identical color and that he had used it when repainting after Board approval. The applicant requested Benjamin Moore #805 (dark blue). Ms. Master also indicated that she had a section of the stucco scraped down to the original paint, which was a medium yellow. She suggested Benjamin Moore #201. Ms. Hegedus -Garcia moved to approve Benjamin Moore # 805 for the windows and trim and Benjamin Moore #201 for the exterior walls, seconded by Ms. Cadwallader, which was passed unanimously. With respect to the awnings, Ms. Master showed the Board the full selection of Sunbrella fabrics. Ms. Master agreed to use a stripe, which the Board would require. The Board and Ms. Master reached a consensus on Sunbrella "Plum Fancy" as being the most appropriate for the colors selected. This pattern fabric was recently installed on a National Register house on the 300 block of 91' Street, and looks beautiful. The Board cautioned Ms. Master that the shape of the awning must conform to the Metro -Dade publication, Resourceful Rehab, A Guide for Historic Buildings in Dade County, to which she agreed. The applicants sought approval for awnings on the front facade and a rear patio. Again, Ms. Hegedus -Garcia moved to approve Sunbrella "Plum Fancy" with the condition that the shape of the awnings conform to the Dade County Guide, which was seconded by Ms. Cadwallader and passed unanimously. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMENTS: 3. Mr. Bittner announced that he had spoken to the owners of 34 N.W. 96th Street with regard to opening for the tour and that they were considering. Ms. Hegedus -Garcia reported that Max Sturman was also still considering, but that she would attempt to get a final decision from his this week.
