HISTORICAL COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES <br /> November 18th 2020 <br /> Call to Order: A public hearing of the Historical Commission was held remotely through <br /> Zoom. The meeting convened at 4:04PM <br /> Historical Commission Members in Attendance: <br /> Marilyn Fenollosa, Chair, David Kelland, Wendall Kalsow, Diane Pursley, Susan Bennett, <br /> Robert Rotberg and Katie Flynn <br /> AGENDA ITEM #1 (4:06PM) <br /> Public hearing regarding the partial building demolition at 58 Oak Street <br /> APPLICANT (S) PRESENT: <br /> Katie Flynn, Architect <br /> Courtney and Donovan Quinn, homeowners <br /> ABUTTER(S) PRESENT: <br /> Margot Tracy, 63 Oak Street <br /> DOCUMENT(S): <br /> Existing and proposed elevations 10/09/2020 <br /> Photos of existing house <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> Ms. Flynn went over plans for 58 Oak Street. Ms. Flynn is proposing to replace some windows, <br /> eliminate the Oak Street entrance and stoop, and re-build the front enclosed porch volume. The <br /> windows that are planned to be replaced are not original windows which have broken seals and <br /> cracked glass. They are hoping to use Marvin windows with semi-divided lights. <br /> HC COMMENTS: <br /> Mr. Kalsow asked if the windows will be wood. Ms. Flynn said the windows will be wood clad <br /> with aluminum on the exterior and will be white. Mr. Kalsow expressed his hesitation using a <br /> clad window if the goal is to replicate the original window. Mr. Kalsow also expressed concerns <br /> regarding porch: the corner pilasters are wider than the center pilasters. Ms. Flynn said agreed, <br /> but said the corner pilasters need to be 18 inches and the center pilasters 12 inches, which the <br /> Structural Engineer recommended. Ms. Flynn had wanted to shrink them but that was all the <br /> engineer would allow. Ms. Flynn said she would talk to the engineer. <br />
