Mr. DeMolyneux presented his color choices for repainting the exterior of the apartment building, stressing the fact that he has spoken to a number of people in the community to get their input on the colors. He expressed his • opinion that as the building is such a large one and stands in such a prominent place, he wants the improvements to highlight and flatter the building. Mr. DeMolyneux offered information regarding the status of the apartments; that he has evicted close to a dozen tenants, and the extremely poor condition of the walls. He stated that time is critical as any rainfall will result in additional water damage to the inside of the building. The Village Clerk confirmed for the Board that per the Building Department's Code, any and all preparation work can be done to the building without a building permit. The Board and Mr. DeMolyneux held an extensive discussion regarding both the specific colors chosen by Mr. DeMolyneux and the different architectural features of the building to be painted in the different colors. Mr. DeMolyneux advised that under his proposal, the walls would be yellow, the top of the medieval parapet and any wooden window trim would be the green color, the area just below the parapet would be the blue color, and the areas below the windows and the inset areas above the windows would be terracotta. Individual Board Members attempted to determine exactly what color would be painted on what surface and introduced a fifth "shadow" color into the design, and it became apparent that more information was needed prior to moving forward with approval of the paint colors. Based on the information that Mr. DeMolyneux could begin the preparation work and would be able to safeguard against further deterioration, Mr. Newman moved to defer the granting of a certificate of appropriateness. Ms. Collins seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.

Board Members did indicate to Mr. DeMolyneux which colors they liked and those that they did not. DISCUSSION ITEM 1. Proposal from Board Member Fred Newman to do an Internet data base.
