- 3 - the building at 8 Parker Street, which is within the Battle Green District. • It was VOTED unanimously that the proposed changes, which are that the carved details such as corner brackets, spindles and gingerbread be painted a light blue similar to Benjamin Moore #1425, the trim be painted California Paints "Birchwood" #45044, while the body of the house should remain grey, be approved. • • At 10:00 the Commission took up the continued hearing on the application of Mary Ouzounian for external architectural changes to the building at 1001 -1003 Massachusetts Avenue, which is within the East Village District. It was VOTED unanimously that the installation of two identical baked white enamel aluminum storm doors, as shown in the submitted page from a manufacturer's catalogue (the Harvey Industries "Hi -Lite" model) or similar design, be approved. In a continuing discussion, the Commission still disapproved the installation of vinyl siding within the Historic District. At 10:15 the Commission took up the continued hearing on the application of Mr & Mrs Henry Camp for external architectural changes to the building at 37 Hancock Street, which is within the Hancock - Clarke District. Their architect, William Erikson, made a presentation consisting of a panel of photographs of existing conditions and local examples on other buildings of structures similar to those proposed, and five panels of elevations and views of the proposed additions linking the old house with the old barn. Mr Erikson explained that the utility additions were historical incidents in the lives of old houses and that he had followed that style in his design. The Chairman and other members of the Commission felt that, in the proposal, the few, big features of the old house have added to them a section of busy events in which there is rather too much going on and which needs further consideration, and therefore the hearing should be continued. At 10:40 the Commission resumed the continued hearing on the application of Shell Oil Company concerning exterior architectural changes to the building at 46 Bedford Street, which is within the Battle Green District. Thomas Swaim, representing Shell Oil Company, and Carlos Davis from Ayoub Engineering, Inc. of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, presented a remodel of the site plan, with additional trees and planting, and elevations of the building showing the proposed changes, particularly in the Shell Snack Shop. It was VOTED unanimously that the proposed changes be approved as presented, with the added stipulation that antique white paint be used. The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 PM.
