HISTORICAL COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES <br /> August 16th 2017 <br /> Call to Order: A public meeting of the Historical Commission was held in the Parker Room of <br /> Lexington Town Hall located at 1625 Massachusetts Avenue. The meeting convened at <br /> 7:30PM. <br /> Historical Commission Members in Attendance: <br /> David Kelland, Chair, Marilyn Fenollosa, Wendall Kalsow, Samuel Doran <br /> AGENDA ITEM #1 (7:30 PM) <br /> Public hearing on the partial building roofline change located at 7 Theresa Avenue. <br /> APPLICANT (S) PRESENT: <br /> Tama Evron and Elon Evron, Homeowners <br /> Amy Semmes, Architect <br /> ABUTTER(S) PRESENT: <br /> None <br /> DOCUMENT(S): <br /> Plans dated 8/5/17 <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> The Architect Ms. Semmes went over plans for the small third floor addition with the <br /> Commission. This project came in front of the board in June 2017 but was denied. Since then <br /> Ms. Evron and Ms. Semmes reached out to the commission to understand their concerns and try <br /> and revise the asymmetrical third floor dormer. The purpose of the addition is to make enough <br /> space for a bathroom and closet. Ms. Semmes was happy to come back with revised plans. She <br /> feels the new plans are more in character with the home and make the roofline more <br /> symmetrical. <br /> HC COMMENTS: <br /> Mr. Kalsow was pleased to see the applicants come back and see their redesign effort. Having <br /> the addition be set back more works well. Ms. Fenollosa agreed and feels the homeowners will <br /> be happier with this version and also be preserving the character of the home. <br />
