HC COMMENTS: Mr. Kelland commented that the actual demo is essentially the garage and rear enclosed porch. Mr. Kern added that a portion of the demo will include the extension of the bays up to the roof. Ms. Zimmerman suggested to the applicants that they go relatively slowly while stripping the shingles. She added that the original clapboards may be underneath and as the work progresses they may find other components that will rationalize the way the house looks and give additional guidance as to how to manage the trim etc. Ms. Zimmerman advised Mr. Seward to reuse the triple set of brackets at the front entrance or to leave them in the house and reuse them in some other manner. Ms. Zimmerman told the applicants that the brackets will make more sense once the shingles come off. Ms. Fenollosa asked Mr. Seward to reconsider the decision to use hardy plank. Ms. Fenollosa also suggested that the applicants look at simulated divided light windows and requested that the pop in ones are not utilized. Mr. Kalsow stated there is no historic significance to the garage and the changes to the rear and sides are appropriate. He continued that the front elevation is pleasant but added that the house will look like a new house with the changes and a two story bay will result in the look of a new design and construction. Ms. Zimmerman praised the applicants on the improvements over the early working design and that completing the project as a single family home; Mr. Glyn has the capacity to make it work. Ms. Zimmerman added that the proposed work will create something more Colonial, a Colonial revival. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None MOTION: moved by Ms. Zimmerman, and seconded, that the house located at 44-46 Parker Street be allowed demolition as presented. VOTE: 5-0 in favor.
