out a number of the particulars regarding the Alexander property and home, i.e. that the home

reviewed the plans with the Board Members.

The Board Members discussed the proposed addition to the home, its relationship to the
existing structure and was shown a copy of the original plans for the home for comparison
purposes. Board discussion and questions centered on the replacement patio and its position
within the side setback, the front windows and door, the west side wall "perforated" feature
and the proposed addition of decorative medallions on the new addition.
The Board reviewed the proposed exterior paint colors for approval which are much lighter in
nature and more accurately depict the era in which the home was built.
Subsequent to the discussions amongst the Board Members, the property owners and the
architect, Mr. Bramson moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness to include:
1) Granting a historic preservation variance to allow the proposed two story addition with
the rear stair landing extending to align with the current west wall of the home,
2) Granting a historic preservation variance to allow for the proposed concrete deck to
replace an existing wood deck which is situated in the side setback on the east side of
the property,
3) Granting a historic preservation variance to all the existing parking area to the rear of
the home to satisfy the current Code's parking requirement,
4) Benjamin Moore #OC 74 as the primary exterior paint color and Benjamin Moore #OC
53 as the exterior trim paint color;
. and subject to the following conditions:
1) New impact windows will be clear glass with white frames,
2) Proposed decorative medallions will be stricken/removed from the plans and not
installed,
3) West side wall with "perforation" detail will remain as currently constructed.
Mr. Mumby seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion.
The March 19, 2015 was adjourned at 7:55 PM.
