Moved by Ms. Fenollosa to find 28 Sherman Street preferably preserved and approve the partial <br />building demolition and roof line change based on the plans dated April 20 2022. Seconded by <br />Mr. Kalsow <br />VOTE: <br />3-0 in favor of partial building demolition and roofline change: Ms. Fenollosa, Mr. Kalsow and <br />Ms. Bennett. <br />AGENDA ITEM #2 (7:24PM) <br />Public hearing regarding the roofline change at 11 Grant Place <br />APPLICANT (S) PRESENT: <br />David Mitchell, Attorney <br />Robin Ackerman, Homeowner <br />ABUTTER(S) PRESENT: <br />None <br />DOCUMENT(S): <br />Photos of existing house <br />Structural Engineer Report <br />SUMMARY: <br />Mr. Mitchell requested that 11 Grant Place be removed from the inventory. Mr. Mitchell is also <br />requesting the demolition of the two chimneys. The chimneys have structural problems and are <br />beyond repair and are no longer functioning. The roof also needs to be repaired. Mr. Mitchell <br />went over the National Register criteria and believes that 11 Grant Place has been “altered <br />beyond recognition” and therefore does not deserve a place on the inventory. <br />HC COMMENTS: <br />Mr. Kalsow expressed his hesitancy to remove 11 Grant Place from the inventory but is willing <br />to permit the removal of the chimneys. Ms. Fenollosa agreed with Mr. Kalsow. The Form B <br />describes 11 Grant Place as a quirky home with alterations, but this doesn’t mean it is not <br />historically significant. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br />None
