Hubner Architect 74 Bedford St. <br />Lexington, Ma 02420 <br />One photo <br />SUMMARY: <br />Mr. Palm explained to the Commission that his proposed plan would include a dormer to be built on the <br />front of the house and it will extend out over the vestibule to create a full second floor. He continued that he <br />did not believe the work would be a major addition and stated he guessed the work dormer would be 28 feet <br />wide by 12 feet deep. He continued that he appreciates the existing style of the house and wishes to expand <br />the second floor areas of the original roof. Mr. Palm stated the gable style will be maintained and he was <br />not substantially altering the identified ability. Mr. Palm also indicated that Bill Hubbard, architect, will <br />include a shingle roof in front which will match the existing shingles. <br />HC COMMENTS <br />: <br />Ms. Zimmerman asked Mr. Palm if the ridge of the dormer would start at the peak of the existing roof. Mr. <br />Palm responded that the dormer would start at a row of windows. Ms. Zimmerman asked if there will be a <br />bumped up section to which Mr. Palm responded that there will be required head height and the plan would <br />include putting in a set of awning windows. Mr. Kelland asked what the relationship of the front wall would <br />be to the house. Mr. Palm answered that he didn’t know the pitch. Mr. Kalsow added that it may be a <br />substantial visual change. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />: <br />None <br />3 <br /> <br />
