The fact that this was not on list was an oversight and does not make the structure less historical. MOTION: Made by Ms. Bennett, seconded by Mr. Kalsow that a condition of the special permit requires that the exterior character of the existing structure at 69 Pleasant Street be maintained as required by Zoning Bylaw 6.9.17.1 and that therefore all exterior changes be subject to review and approval by the Historical Commission using the published guidelines of the Historic Districts Commission.
