[0:00] order the regular meeting of the historic district commission uh for [0:04] September 2nd uh 2026. Um can I have your names for roll call please? [0:11] Starting with Mr. Vinickum Finnick here. [0:16] » Angie Nagel >> Alec Kokoska [0:18] » Laura Witty >> Alexen [0:21] » Jennifer Cook Rian thank you. Uh so the next item tonight [0:27] is the adoption of the agenda. Uh does anyone have comments about that? [0:33] » We're going to I guess proposal will modify A to C and then the slide B and C [0:39] up. So move the uh front under new business. [0:44] » Okay. Uh anyone have a motion? >> I'll motion. I think [0:48] uh moving talk about A as the last of new business. We'll talk about AT&T. [0:54] We'll talk about 32310. And then talk about the facade [0:58] » in reverse order. >> Uh [1:01] » just going BCA >> BCA. [1:05] » Okay. Uh so I'll make a motion that we approve a modified agenda for Wednesday, [1:11] September 2nd, 2026. Uh with new business going in BCA order. Um, uh, [1:18] AT&T 32310 and then then 32716. >> Okay. Is there a is there a second? [1:26] » I'll second that. >> All in favor? [1:28] » I >> I [1:30] » Okay. Motion passes. Uh, all right. Let's look at the the minutes from the [1:35] last meeting. And I spotted a typo in there. Um but those of you who had [1:43] motions, can you um [1:48] tell me if you um have any objection to uh the minutes? [2:01] » All right. So I on page three um I noted that for the Wing Lake [2:09] property property that we um considered the demolition permit for on the second [2:15] bullet point it says it was noted that the current home was built in 1954 and [2:19] that it does contribute to the character of the village which I believe uh is a [2:23] typo should say does not contribute to the character of the village [2:29] » and that was your motion. So, um, [2:35] and Angie support >> I think it's the other one. [2:37] » Do you want me to go ahead and motion the minutes? [2:39] » Yeah. Um, I'm going to go ahead and motion the minutes uh as presented [2:45] Wednesday, August 5th, 2026 with the um correction of Wing Lake Road uh [2:54] stated by Witty that the 1954 does not contribute to the character of the [3:00] village. >> Second your motion. [3:03] » All in favor? >> I I Great motion motion passes. [3:09] All right. Now we move on to [3:14] public comments. Is there anyone here who wants to [3:18] address the HTC for any reason who isn't already on agenda tonight? [3:26] » Did you say to address the >> No. Any public public comments? Yeah. [3:32] Who who aren't otherwise on the agenda? [3:36] » All right. Um hearing hearing no public comments or requests for public comment [3:41] uh we will move on to new business tonight. So uh given the earlier motion [3:48] we are going to move forward with the AT&T proposal to install a replacement [3:53] pole and install small cell [clears throat] [3:55] wireless facilities at the AT&T site 16687859. [4:01] Is the applicant here? Please step up to the podium. [4:08] Good evening everybody. Wally Haley from the Haley Law Firm representing AT&T [4:12] tonight. Uh >> thank you. [4:14] » I go into a big speech, but you've got guys have been down this road before [4:18] with the uh the antennas in the historic district on the on the utility polls. Uh [4:22] fairly simple. Uh McKenna recommends its approval. Uh and so I'd rather answer [4:29] any questions you folks may have specific this. Uh other than that, I I [4:34] won't waste your time. you can get on to B and C and thank you for moving us up [4:37] to A. >> Sure. Um, so I just I have one question [4:40] then maybe a comment. Um, on the paperwork it indicates that uh it [4:45] appears that the color brown has been chosen for the the shrouding material [4:50] and the antenna and and that stuff. Um, and I was just speaking with um Mr. Den [4:56] about the color of the pole, which I think is a treated [clears throat] is [4:59] that a treated lumber of some kind? >> Treated wood. Yeah. Um it's currently a [5:04] greenish color, but he advises it will turn to a grayish color over time [5:10] and >> tish grayish. Yeah. [5:12] » Topish grayish. >> So with [5:16] bearing in mind that we like I guess mechanical, electrical, etc. Um [5:22] um infrastructure to remain as unobtrusive as possible, especially in [5:26] the historic district. Is it possible to have a color on that pole that would [5:32] blend better with the pole or not be as obtrusive as a dark brown on a gray [5:38] pole? >> Um, [5:40] » it's a standard gray is a standard color. I noted from your materials. [5:44] » Yeah, I'm I'm going to say yes. Um, with the caveat that that um it's brown [5:51] across the street and then there's a gray over here. So [5:55] » Oh, I see. Okay. Uh but you know I let me put it this way. If you condition [6:00] upon that I will I will take that condition back and I don't see a problem [6:04] this route being made gray. >> Worst worst case they painted it. [6:08] » Okay. Um so we have a brown and and a gray. Is [6:12] that what you're saying? And I didn't I confess I did not look at all the polls [6:16] » there. There's a lot of them. I Yeah, they [clears throat] [6:19] actually run various shades of depending on the age, you know, the shrouds and [6:24] things. It's it's they're they're various. Let's leave it at that. Um but [6:29] um the I I will say this about some of the aging of the poles. You drive down [6:36] Franklin, some of the poles look brown, some of the poles age to gray. Some of [6:41] the poles the treated wood, you know, like like Bill said, it looks more gray. [6:46] » So six of one halfus is another. I don't [6:49] think given the location where it's at, you know, next to the cemetery on an [6:55] existing pole, it's it's going to matter that much. I think the easy thing answer [7:00] is to leave it brown as they propose. >> Okay. [7:02] » Because I don't think it's really going to matter in the scheme of things along [7:06] along Franklin. >> So, the gray one you're talking about is [7:09] right at the corner of Wellington and Franklin Road. Is that the one you're [7:13] referencing or is there a different one? >> Um, I think it's the gray the gray one's [7:16] literally right as you come out of the driveway here, isn't it? I think [7:18] » I was just looking on Sorry, I just looking online. [7:21] » We could walk. No, we could walk outside and look, but [7:23] » No, we got enough stuff going on, I think. [7:25] » Yeah, >> just want to at least understand your [7:27] reference. >> Okay. Does anyone have anyone else have [7:31] comments about proposed color >> or preference for brown or or gray [7:39] » being like a utility? And and it's I don't even want to call that an [7:43] architectural element. I I don't feel like that that color call out is even [7:48] part of any of of that business. Um they get poles and they put poles in the [7:54] ground and I think that's where I I don't think we have like an option to [7:58] put decorative requests on it. >> Sure. [8:02] » Sure. >> But that's all that's my opinion. [8:04] » Okay. >> Is there is this a choice of color for [8:06] the equipment or the pole? >> Equipment. [8:09] » Okay. So within the materials there's um it shows different options for color for [8:17] the shrouding of the the equipment that goes on the pole. It's not the pole [8:22] itself. >> The uh [8:25] » the choices are gray, brown or white. [8:29] » In the village we are we gray >> there. He says there's both. [8:35] » There's believe there's both on Franklin. Yeah. driving with Google [8:39] Maps. I would agree. >> You know, it's it's either way it's not [8:43] going to be that big of a deal. If if if the commission's preferences to go gray [8:50] condition upon changing the color to gray on the plans [8:53] » and if if there's some reason that you physically can't do that, I'll see you [8:58] next month. I I [9:02] » I see. >> It's it's your preference. [9:05] » So, it's a it is a choice. >> It's a choice. So, I just wanted to make [9:09] sure everyone here was aware of that. And um but if we have both colors in the [9:14] village, then you know I >> I guess they're both okay. [9:19] » The the the site plan submitted show a brown truck. [9:24] If you want to change that, I don't think that is a big deal. But I [9:32] do believe that there are both on in the in the village. [9:39] » [clears throat] >> I didn't [9:42] have any concerns. [9:47] » All right. Any further comment? >> There's no color picture here. [9:51] » Yeah. >> No, it's just Well, [9:56] » oh, no. It's a drawing. It just And in the uh in the small print next to it [10:00] says brown shroud. Yeah, >> I mean the color is it's this little [10:04] tune, right? I don't even know what this is, [10:08] but I believe the gray [10:13] uh disappears into the background with sky and everything else. [10:17] » Okay. >> More greatly than brown. [10:23] » You're going to match I assume you're going to match the antenna to the [10:26] shroud. >> Yeah. All the the equipment would just [10:29] be >> just gray. Yeah, I mean that would be my [10:32] that would be my recommendation. [10:38] » Anyone else? >> No, I agree. I think that's a good [10:41] thing. >> Yeah, I think gray makes sense. [10:42] » Makes sense with this guy. >> Seems consistent. [10:45] » Yeah. >> All right. Do we have a motion on gray [10:48] or on approval with with gray if if possible? I'll make a uh a motion to [10:55] approve the uh AT&T proposal. Install install a replacement pole and install [11:00] small small cell wireless facilities at AT&T site 16687859 [11:06] with the application as received. Is this right? April 28th, 2026. Maybe it [11:11] was August. um with a uh a notation that the preference if possible would be to [11:20] make the shroud um gray to and the other um metal boxes gray to to tie in with [11:28] the color of the pole. >> Okay. Is there a second on that? [11:31] » I'll second. >> Okay. All in favor? I [11:34] » I >> All right. Thank you. Thank you very [11:37] much. >> Have a great one. Thanks. You too. Two. [11:49] Okay, let's get our papers in order. [11:53] » All right. Uh, next on the agenda is new business at 32310 [12:01] Franklin Road, siding replacement. The applicants here. [12:06] » All right. >> Hi. [12:07] » Hi. >> You live across the street, a little red [12:09] schoolhouse. >> Yeah. [12:10] » Okay. Um, what's your name? >> Alexis Middle. [12:13] » Alexis Middle. Okay. >> Um, and the it's wood at the moment, but [12:19] it's seriously deteriorated. Um, so we wanted to replace it with hardy siding. [12:24] I think we included um a photo of, you know, what it could look like. Joe here [12:30] can show you some other images and explain the benefits of hardy siding as [12:35] opposed to wood if you find that helpful. [12:38] Uh, that's Joe. >> That's Joe. [12:41] » Uh, Joe, come on up. >> I'm with Shane Roing. [12:45] » Sorry, this is not working properly, but where should I start off as far as the [12:49] pictures? >> Um, [12:51] » we all have that. >> We got it. So, it looks very similar to [12:54] what you guys have. So, the difference is this is the Hardy. It's just [13:00] different images all around the house. So, as far as the color with the James [13:04] Hardy, any of you guys familiar with James [13:07] Hardy concrete fiber board that looks like wood. We've done it multiple times [13:12] in historic areas. This is the red that we're looking at and it's got grain [13:17] texture as well. >> Okay. [13:22] » And we're going to keep the um details in the windows and the gutter shapes. [13:28] Um, >> that's our builder's license there. [13:32] » Some documentation about Hardy for Hardy preferred as well and then what we're [13:37] doing for the project. [13:41] » Okay. So, I I have a a couple of questions just um [13:46] what is the width of the boards on your home right now? [13:50] » They're a little bit more narrower. If you look at this photo, [13:56] » they're narrower, but >> I don't think that that was an option. [14:02] » So, with the James Hardy, the reveal will be seven seven in [14:06] » seven in. >> Do you know what it is? [14:09] » It's it's close to the what we're doing with the party. [14:12] » Close to seven. >> Very close to the seven inches. Yep. [14:16] » Yeah. It's just this photo. It looks a lot different from this photo from in [14:20] terms of width. Why the question's coming up. [14:22] » Yep. [14:25] Um, and so you did you look at like price I [14:30] I know that Hardy board is um for longevity purposes probably and [14:37] maintenance purposes uh probably superior to wood in general. Um but did [14:43] you look at I mean is all the wood on your house if you want to take a look it [14:48] is abs >> it is deteriorated. deteriorated and [14:51] it's full of holes and there's 17 layers of paint on it. It's in really bad [14:55] condition. [14:58] » Was there a prior approval about a year ago for color? [15:01] » I was going to do it a different color, paint it gray and white. That was me. Um [15:04] and then um obviously I didn't I couldn't get anyone to paint it. I could [15:08] not get any painter to commit to painting it. And then um I decided [15:12] siding was multiple people had told me that siding was the better option. And [15:16] then with AI images, I decided I like the red the best. Um, it keeps the [15:22] historic feel of the old schoolhouse. Um, and I thought you guys would like [15:26] that better if we went red instead of switching it to gray and white. [15:30] » Yeah. I think part of my concern was the red on there is a very different color [15:33] from what's on there now, but the gray on there is closer to what you had [15:37] approved a year ago. >> The red on here is different, but that's [15:43] the red that we could find. It's still called Country Red. I think it still [15:46] fits in with the theme of an old schoolhouse. [15:52] Um, okay. So, I'm I'm just looking on your proposed your proposal page. Um, [15:59] you you've said that you want to preserve all the existing architectural [16:04] um details >> details including the trim, [16:07] cornerboards. It says other car other character defining elements. It says [16:11] will be preserved wherever possible. Well, that [16:14] » so that to me is a concerning statement. >> That was someone else, [16:18] » not Joe. Joe can who helped me write that? I was talking to a different um [16:24] contractor. Um he's much more confident that they can preserve everything. Is [16:28] that right? >> Absolutely. [16:30] » Okay. And are the original elements going to be preserved or you are you [16:36] planning on replacing? >> They're rotten. Like if you if you look [16:40] at the window trim, it's rotten. It needs to be redone, but it will look [16:43] identical. >> Okay. So, you've been able to source [16:47] wood elements for that or >> So, what she's going to do is she's [16:50] going to keep the original windows in the house. So, we're not touching any of [16:53] the windows. That's all staying as it is. Staying with the muttons with the [16:57] exterior muttons. So, it's still keeping that traditional look. The only uh doors [17:01] that we're changing, the front door, the back door, and the garage door, side [17:05] door, we're changing because they're rotted. The frame is completely exposed. [17:10] And uh also for the siding of the house, we are changing not only the siding, but [17:16] there's areas that have no sheathing underneath. [17:19] » Okay. >> Um and completely exposed right now. So [17:21] she's getting uh >> rodents [17:24] » rodents and so forth going in. >> So it's completely exposed. [17:28] » Okay. So the the scope of what you just described is a little bit broader than [17:31] what's in front of us today in terms of doors. [17:34] » Again, I don't know what's in front of you. I I didn't write any of that. [17:37] » Sure. So what we have in front of us today is just the siding is is just the [17:41] siding. >> Yeah. [17:43] » And so I would consider trim work to be a separate issue. [17:49] Especially Especially if you're not sure what's going to be replaced yet. [17:55] » It's all going to be replaced. All of the trim is going to be replaced. [17:58] » It's all rotten. It just is. >> Is it going to be white? [18:03] » Yes. >> Okay. And have you identified [18:09] equal replacement pieces if you want to, you know, because I know sometimes older [18:14] elements don't come in those sizes anymore or that that width or those [18:18] » I think they have to, >> you know, so you can get everything in [18:21] every size. >> You can get everything in every size and [18:24] whatever you replace, which sounds like everything will be identical to what's [18:29] there right now. minus that I can't guarantee the siding profile, the reveal [18:34] on the siding, >> which you were asking about earlier. I [18:37] don't want to put my foot in my mouth, so I don't know the exact reveal. I'm [18:41] telling you what what we can do with the Hardy, and that is a 7in reveal that is [18:45] exposed with the grain texture. They also have [18:48] the smooth texture, but obviously to kind of keep the integrity of the look [18:52] of the house, I think the grain one looks nicer. [18:56] » Okay. Um, [19:00] so and then obviously the doors we don't have examples in front of us. So we we [19:05] » put the doors that I could do that as a separate proposal if you want and said [19:09] » it would have to be. >> That's fine. I when I submitted [19:11] [clears throat] this I wasn't thinking about the doors. I just discussed it [19:14] with him on Monday. Um so I could submit doors separately [19:18] » and windows. >> Right. Well, I've asked a lot of [19:20] questions. Um Mr. Finom, do you want to >> ask some questions? Um, [19:25] » yeah. I guess >> since you're the architect. [19:27] » Well, >> I don't think so. [19:29] » First of all, I know that Hardy blank comes in 4 in exposure. You represent [19:35] that it's [clears throat] 7 in as standard. It comes in 4 in which would [19:39] be in by my eye a lot closer to what's existing than what you have. [19:45] » More expensive. >> So again, they do have different reveals [19:48] of thickness or the width they can do. But I can run across the street and take [19:53] a quick measure if you want to know the exact measurement of the reveal. [19:57] » Well, I'd like to know that and I'd like to know um then that you can get close [20:03] to it with 4 inch exposure because I know Hardy blank comes that way. I have [20:09] another question and that is the texture. I'm wondering why you've chosen [20:14] the rough uh wood grain texture with the simulates [20:21] siding that is checked, split, um weathered and needs repainting when [20:30] you want it to look rejuvenated and originally that siding was smooth. [20:37] Oh, well, I thought I don't I mean, I thought you wanted it to I thought that [20:42] historically speaking, you would want it to look like wood. [20:45] » Well, I'm not sure that I would want to see it weathered and checked and split. [20:50] » Well, no, it's not going to look I guess I don't understand. [20:52] » To me, that's >> that's how that heavy texture on the [20:57] Hardy blank looks. That's just my opinion. [21:01] » Is there another texture? So there's a smooth [21:04] » smooth >> there's smooth and but this texture that [21:06] you're seeing here is to make it look like real wood [21:09] » with the grain. >> It looks [21:11] » again everyone's you know everyone sees it differently. [21:13] » So explain I don't understand what you're saying. I'm curious though. So [21:17] what are you saying? You're saying that >> this texture you don't think is as nice [21:20] as the >> I think if you're trying to rejuvenate [21:22] it, you would want to rejuvenate it >> with a smooth [21:26] and newer and fresher to re renew it to what it was when it was original. Okay. [21:32] I thought would have wanted >> not looked like it is now when it's [21:36] rotten. That's just >> so is the other. [21:40] » Do you guys kind of understand what he's saying? [21:42] » No, I understand exactly what he's saying. And I would make a point that [21:45] one of the one of the things that we are not allowed to do as a historic district [21:49] commission is to make things look historic. I mean to replace with things [21:53] that create a false sense of history. We're not supposed We're I mean those [21:57] are one of that's one of our guidelines is to not approve materials that are [22:02] like simulated old if that makes sense to you. [22:06] » Yeah. So and that's I don't remember what guideline that is but it is one of [22:10] it is one of the guidelines. >> It is called that. [22:12] » So you're saying you would you would well at least you would prefer [22:16] » it's number three. >> Number three. Okay. [22:18] » Am I correct in understanding that? Yes. >> Changes that uh create a false sense of [22:22] historic development. >> Okay. Number three kind of [22:27] » you have to do smooth texture as well. >> It's the same material. [22:30] » Same exact material. >> You install it ex with the rough side [22:33] out or the smooth side up. >> Okay. [22:35] » Do you have a sample or >> I don't have a sample of the smooth, but [22:38] we can definitely do it either way. There's no cost difference for us or the [22:42] homeowner. >> That's so if you guys prefer smooth, I'm [22:45] happy to do smooth. I went with the wood because I thought that's what you would [22:49] prefer. It's kind of re even difficult to tell what's there right now in the [22:53] house because there are >> many layers of uh paint. [22:58] » I'm sure even uh layers of lead paint into it over the years. Uh [23:02] » yeah, >> sure. That's [23:04] » and it's peeled, repainted, peeled, repainted, and it hasn't been sanded [23:08] down. So, it's kind of even difficult to tell what the texture is in the first [23:11] place. But yeah, we we can do it either way. Not a problem. [23:16] So, do you have any uh comments on the the trimmings on the house? [23:21] » Well, I think your question was good. It's in terms of finding the right [23:27] sizes. Not just the size, but the thickness [23:30] » also. Um, >> so they do make the same trim, by the [23:34] way, with the grain or the smooth. So, if you're going to go smooth on the [23:37] siding, they make the trim to match it to complement the smooth texture. So, we [23:41] can do that, too. >> Well, you said that the trim was going [23:44] to be wood. No, it's still all the siding material [23:48] of the Hardy everywhere that we're doing. [23:50] » The trim is also going to be Hardy, >> correct? [23:54] » Hardy has to lay against Hardy. Hardy can't lay against wood or you lose the [23:58] warranty. >> Who said that? [24:01] » A Hardy salesperson. [clears throat] >> I don't know. Is that not right? [24:05] » I didn't [laughter] say that. I didn't say that. [24:08] » But normally when I'm doing hardy, I do >> a hearty salesperson. [24:12] » Yeah. When I do Hardy, I do Hardy [clears throat] trim. So, [24:15] » but it's not true. Um, what are the thicknesses of the Hardy [24:20] Trim? >> There's again different thicknesses in [24:22] the width and also the thickness of protruding outward as well. So, if we're [24:27] trying to match it 100%. We're going to try to match it 100% to what they make [24:33] and what's there currently. >> So, I think we're trying to match it [24:35] 100%. >> Yeah, we're 2026. So if it's if it's [24:41] five quarter then it should be five and a quarter. You know the siding shouldn't [24:48] protrude beyond the the trim. Whereas sometimes when the trim gets too skinny [24:54] the siding protrudes. >> Understandable. [24:56] » So the the trim needs to be whatever it is now [25:01] in order to avoid that. Okay. Okay. >> What about the detail of the trim over [25:08] the windows? Can you duplicate that? [25:11] » So again, that's what we're going to definitely try to do all the way around [25:15] on all the windows >> with the same profile. [25:21] » So I I mean I have concern that when you say try, you know, it's hard for us to [25:25] approve try as opposed to we are going to [25:28] » if you understand where we're coming from on that. [25:31] » Madam Chair. >> Yes. As a point of interest, I wonder if [25:35] we shouldn't just require them to bring back the trim in the doors with samples [25:40] to show us what it is they want to do. >> I think that would be most appropriate [25:44] to assure that we're getting what we believe we are getting. [25:48] » That you can get that. But I will tell you if it's either that or it stays as [25:53] it is, right? Like if we can't do it, if we I cannot He's like the fifth or sixth [26:00] person I've talked to. Mhm. >> He has come the closest to being able to [26:03] replicate the trim. [clears throat] So if you can't accept that, then we [26:07] just have to keep it the rotted wood there, right? Like it's like either [26:11] » come as close as you can or don't. >> And we have done that before, by the [26:15] way. So certain historic areas where they didn't allow either the windows to [26:19] be changed or some of the trim to be changed. We've left that. We've done all [26:22] the siding up to it. So the original stays obviously [26:28] » some of it's almost impossible to to to bring it back to life. [26:32] » I and I appreciate that and I appreciate your comment that you know if you can't [26:36] replicate exactly you may end up with >> maybe a few of your elements having to [26:41] be repaired carefully and puttied or you know whatever [26:44] » be I mean if you look at it it is beyond repair. [26:47] » Can you repair the elements? I do know that above uh the windows at the top [26:51] that that if you look at that thick white line that is just like [26:56] » um it's like a big caul and it's just that you know that's probably the only [27:02] thing that's keeping the water out right there. But it it is it's aged and it's [27:06] going to be tough to like >> holes especially in the upstairs dormer [27:09] on the far right. There's holes. >> I mean it is beyond repair. But that but [27:14] that that layer of pock I mean it it can be removed. I just don't know what's [27:18] going to happen when once you do that right because it it's been a glued up on [27:23] there for a while. But I've looked at that window before just walking down the [27:26] sidewalk and noting that. >> Can you tell us um when you're [27:30] contemplating doing the project and what kind of timeline and how does you do the [27:35] siding first and then you work on the the trim elements after that? I [27:38] » think we do it all at once all together. It'll be done by the end of the year [27:41] because as soon as you approve it, we'll order it in the red takes a couple what? [27:45] » It's 14 to 16 weeks. >> So, be done by the end [27:49] » for ordering all the material and then of course schedule time. [27:51] » Is it possible to order the red the red siding and then [27:58] see see what the situation is with the trim. [28:02] » I don't want to spend a fortune on siding if I can't do the trim. If I have [28:07] to keep the rotten windows, I'm not going to bother to do the siding. [28:11] » You mean the trim elements of the windows? Is you're you're keeping your [28:14] windows, right? >> I'm keeping the windows, but the trim is [28:16] rotten, so why would I spend tens of thousands of dollars on siding and keep [28:20] rotten trim? [28:25] » Um, Bill, do you have any additional [28:28] comments about that? >> It's appropriate to have the samples in [28:32] front of us. So you want samples of >> the siding I mean of no the trim the [28:38] different sides of the trim but also there should be details. The [28:44] application asks for details of [28:48] uh special specialty things like the rake [28:52] um the eaves um [28:56] » yeah I didn't have a contract I spoke to the clerk I think I didn't have a [29:00] contractor when I was completing the application so it's like layman's [29:02] knowledge I don't have I didn't have all that information [29:05] » I notice here that the the rake seems to protrude farther than your [29:11] computer render the existing windows. [29:14] » What's the rake? I don't even [29:18] » This part of the roof is protruding farther now than it looks like on the [29:24] other drawing. >> Oh, well, this [29:26] » the other one is a threestep piece of trim. This is a wide [29:31] or something >> rake board and are you looking at this? [29:34] This was just I just This was just an AI image of the of my current house with [29:39] the new painting on it with Again, lot lot of those [29:43] » permission to do certain things that we have to have it documented what it is [29:48] those things are. So if we can't look at this as documentation, then you should [29:54] provide details that show exactly what you're going to [29:59] be doing with a with a sample. So when you say a sample, I just want to [30:04] understand what you want me to bring you because he brought this the they're not [30:08] going to be able to make the trim. You want the sample of the material and the [30:13] size. >> Yes. [30:15] » Can you do that? >> And I would like [30:16] » for every single size piece on top of the house. [30:18] » I don't understand. >> Wouldn't say every single one. I would [30:20] say um [30:23] » because even the pictures that you're com commenting on there, those are just [30:26] rendering images. >> So why so why don't present this then? [30:29] because you do show you show this window AI generated caul. It's a it's a [30:34] straight line now and but that's that's rotting caul on top of that window. So [30:37] this is this is not >> when I did the that wasn't him. That was [30:40] me. When I did the AI generated window, I just said put the old windows so they [30:45] know that I'm keeping the design. That's why I put the old windows in. [30:50] » Oh. Uh they went down there. What we're trying to avoid though is [30:54] having trim like this with the window going like we're just [30:57] » if all these details are gone like and it doesn't look [31:01] » I'm trying to work through that process. Right. [31:03] » All the details to be Listen, I want it to we bought the house, right? We love [31:07] the house. I don't want all the details to be gone as much as you want all the [31:10] details to be gone. I'm not trying to make this over. That's why we're not [31:13] doing it gray and white anymore. I want it to look as original. And I know you [31:17] said I can't use new sub. I didn't know that, but I understand and I'm with you [31:22] and I agree 1,000% for >> Oh, your whole booklet. [31:28] » Where's the one that he just gave me with the party book? [31:31] » Oh, sorry. Is it this? >> And mine is not stapled. So, it's loose [31:34] pictures. >> It's pictures that were in there. [31:36] » Go in here. >> I'm so sorry. [31:38] » Yeah, there they are. Sorry. >> So, again, even these were [31:41] » AI. >> It's not AI, it's software, [31:44] » but again, it overlays it on top of the existing house. So, how much of it is it [31:49] actually you can't see in the images? Yeah, you can't even see some of that [31:52] that's above the windows, >> right? [31:54] » And I'm sorry, I can't I can't do it any other way. There is no software that [31:57] allows you to kind of put this material on there. So, [32:01] » and >> and if you want the pieces, I got [32:04] actually bring you different size pieces of trim. That's all I can do. What I [32:08] would like to know is if this existing trim is 3/4 or 5/4 or four quarter or [32:15] whatever and how wide is it. I'd like you to have [32:20] a sample that shows that you can get >> correct [32:22] » to that. You know, it doesn't have to be every piece. It has to be the major [32:27] components like >> the corners, the fascia, [32:30] » the corners, fascia, and then the window, the casing. Because part of the [32:35] look and feel of this house is that wide >> trim, the wide frame around the house. [32:41] And if we end up with this tiny little, it's all the way off. It's not 100% [32:45] going to look at all reflective of what that house [32:47] » and Hardy does make different trim pieces and different widths. So I can I [32:51] can get different sizes. >> So it's just really [32:54] » So what we do is normally when we help a client like this, um uh I set up a [32:59] project manager to come out. So he does a pre-walk of the property. He takes a [33:02] look at what's there. He's making basically making his order list of the [33:06] materials he needs to order. So that case he's looking okay that's five and a [33:10] quarter inch. I'm ordering five and a quarter inch for this specific area. I [33:13] need this 200 ft of it for this area for the freeze. Same thing. So he's just [33:18] making a list and he's ordering the materials as needed as far as what's [33:21] there. If I tell him I'm replicating what's there. [33:25] » Yeah. >> Right. Okay. [33:26] » Obviously, if we, you know, we're not going to vinyl or some, you know, [33:30] » it's almost like as if we had that list that we could then approve off of to [33:34] say, "Yes, you're putting in five and a quarter, which matches five and a [33:37] quarter. You're doing 7 in reveal at this. You're doing this." Right now, all [33:41] we have is an insurance document, a write up, and an AI drawing. [33:45] Unfortunately, it doesn't like the detail part is what we're really looking [33:47] for because that's what we prove off >> because this the beauty of this house is [33:50] in the details. I get it. Yeah. So, let's going I can't see your name and I [33:54] forgot what it was already. >> Laura. [33:56] » Laura. >> Laura. [33:56] » I'm Laura. >> Laura. So, your suggestion if you guys [34:01] » if you were able to approve the red, we could order the red because that what [34:06] takes the time. And then your next meeting is in October. Is that correct? [34:09] Correct. We could come back in October with the sample. You understand what [34:13] they want? Because I don't understand what you want. But if he understands, we [34:16] come back in October with the samples of the trim and that could be a separate [34:20] the trim and the doors. >> Bill Finham raised the point that he [34:23] wants to see what the uh the reveal the reveal is on the on the trim. Right. So [34:29] » I I don't feel comfortable with the seven inch when I believe that currently [34:35] it's closer to four. It might even be three and a half. [34:40] So the standard 4 inch exposure is what I would be looking for. That's what I [34:46] would >> What's the lead time on on the ordering? [34:49] » 14 to 16. >> 14 to 16 weeks. [34:51] » So it takes 14 to 16 weeks for it to come in [34:53] » for materials and schedule time. >> Okay. So with specific color like red, [34:58] it takes longer because they have to produce. [34:59] » All right. What I would suggest is if he if he can get a photo right this second [35:04] and go measure it, would that satisfy you? So we can at least get them. [35:07] » I like to know what it is. But is there a reason [35:10] » that you chose seven inch? >> The 4 inch is a lot more expensive. It's [35:16] like twice the price. >> That's the reason. [35:19] » They have even actually smaller than 4 in as well. And it shoots up even [35:23] higher. >> And the reason for the expense [35:29] » you'd have to ask Mr. J. >> I was told it was the labor because it's [35:32] labor and also material itself. >> I imagine it's labor. just [35:36] » and I'm just telling you >> two pieces instead of one going in place [35:39] but >> if you get double the price u seems [35:44] excessive >> wrong [35:46] » it's it's up there it's close to double the price on the the smaller ones [35:51] » well >> it literally even with my wobbly ankle I [35:54] could walk across the street and look at the reveal real quick and measure it if [35:57] you guys like >> will you do that [35:59] » do you guys mind >> I I don't mind um you should see if it's [36:04] closer to 7 But we we if there's a photograph and [36:08] then if you have a if there's a way for you to measure it. [36:10] » Yeah. Have a tape measure >> with with in the photograph that would [36:13] be fantastic. >> Yeah. [36:16] » All due respect. I have a wobbly an angle, but I'll [36:25] » answer a lot of your questions. That's why I brought him with me, but I'll try. [36:28] It is. >> Is the roof being done? [36:30] » The roof does not need to be done. The roof is The roof [clears throat] I've [36:34] had someone look at. He looked at it. >> Um, a couple other The roof is fine. [36:39] » Yeah, it's >> Madam Chair. [36:42] » Um, due to the intermission, I wonder if you should table this till the end and [36:46] take the next person who may be ready to >> administer. You know, I didn't ask [36:51] Amanda and I would like Amanda to make a comment on this as well. [36:56] » Okay. >> So, um, [36:57] » you want to do that >> because I know she'll have some [36:59] opinions. >> All right, that would be good. I'm just [37:02] trying to keep things moving. >> Absolutely. So, we can we can take your [37:06] comments right now, I think, to Yeah, sure. If he can make it back in the next [37:09] couple minutes, then then we won't have to table it. [37:12] » My comments and concerns are very similar um to Bill Fom's. [37:17] » Um I think that the uh size of the wood [37:24] boards that are on here is definitely not seven in. So, I'm very interested to [37:28] see what that is going to be. Um, I'm noticing in your drawing and [37:35] » since you said this is not exactly how it's going to look, maybe this is going [37:40] to be different, but the gutter >> in your original drawing is [37:47] » um an older style gutter. We're getting we're getting um similar [37:55] » to the older I told them that they had to keep the gutters. [37:57] » It's like a half round. >> Yeah, but I think that they were going [37:59] to maybe paint them white that it looks more [38:01] » Are they being replaced or are they being kept? [38:03] » I don't think that I've been told that they can't put the same gutters back up [38:08] once they take them down. >> Okay. And I know you can get half half [38:11] round white. We have them on our house. >> He can get the same ones. I mean, he can [38:14] get the half round. I told him that. I mean, I am trying to keep this as [38:19] authentic as possible. You look at the if you ever come in my house, you'll see [38:23] that not a lot has changed since the 1800s. So, I it's not in my best [38:28] interest, and I appreciate you wanting to preserve it. It's not in my best I [38:32] don't want to make it modern. Um, but I do need to fix the siding. [38:38] So yeah, my the the remainder of my comment is just that I have the exact [38:43] same concerns as Bill with the trim pieces, the fascia, the roof line, [38:50] um the um window trim, making sure all of that keeps its character [38:58] um and just isn't turned into flat. Um we don't want to do that. I promise you. [39:06] Um, but one question I have and this is just [39:10] a question. I'm curious as to why you prefer the 4 in to the 7 in. Is it just [39:15] because it's >> what it's is there a historical [39:19] significance to that? >> Absolutely. [39:21] » I think it goes to the scale of the structure scales of the structure is [39:26] small. So to have these big >> Okay. [39:30] wide boards. Uh me doesn't. >> And if you look, you can't really tell [39:35] from this photo, but maybe you can a little bit. If you look at the bottom of [39:40] the house, a lot of this is painted concrete [39:43] » in the front. >> Oh, yeah. [39:45] » It's not even boards. >> Up to the wind. Yeah. Up to almost the [39:49] top of the window. [clears throat] [39:51] » Here he comes. [laughter] >> Pretty fast. [39:57] » Start here. Start here and see. So they're going to go over that with [40:01] siding. [40:06] » It's hard to tell. >> So there's it looks like it's been [40:09] changed in certain areas. So certain parts of the house are 5 and 1/2 in. [40:13] » Certain parts of the house are 4 and 12 in. [40:16] » And some have overlap, some are just completely flat. [40:21] » So if you look at this area here, >> looks like there's bondo behind it. I [40:25] don't know what was going on. >> Concrete block. What's that? [40:29] » She said the same [40:32] » in the bottom of the front. Some of it looks like it was just [40:35] » at the very bottom. But here you see the side material. [40:40] » Yep. That's right here somewhere. I took the picture [40:42] » and then right above the window that's where it goes like 4 and 12 is [40:46] » on the right on the left side of the house. 4 and 12 in about there. [40:50] » It's 4 and 12 in block down here. Just ask. [40:54] » What is this? >> Is that artifact? [40:58] » This is flush almost. >> It's just flush. [41:02] [clears throat] >> Yeah. [41:06] » I think I would call it four [laughter] and a half, but I would [41:08] » return. That's what I would [41:14] » deciding. Sounds pretty good. You can get any [41:16] » 4 and 12 in. We'll have William pay the difference to go from [laughter] [41:21] 12 in. >> I'm joking. [41:25] » It's funny. >> Um, [41:29] » well, [41:32] have you seen the red color in real in real life? [41:35] » Yeah, he has it here. >> Okay. [41:39] All right. Let's take a look at that. [41:52] If it's not the color that you that you guys are approving, this does come in [41:55] primerred as well. >> Then you have to paint the entire house [41:59] afterwards. >> Yeah, [42:01] » it's so hard to tell if that little sample looks brown [laughter] [42:04] » to me. I'm struggling with country lane red, but it is not the vibrant red [42:10] that's obviously [42:19] So, >> it won't be a red house. [42:24] » It's going to be a brown house. >> Be gray like we approved before gray, [42:29] » but that was paint be changed. >> Okay. [42:33] » So, the permanent color of this house will be basically a brown red color. [42:37] » Whatever that color is, >> the country red [42:40] » brown red. Any comments on that? >> I mean, I wish it was more vibrant [42:46] personally, but I don't know like [snorts] [42:51] um comments. >> I like the gray that we proved before. [42:56] » You like the gray, but isn't that take away from the little red schoolhouse? [42:59] » This takes away from the little red schoolhouse. This is a brown red. It's [43:02] not the bright vibrant red that was there. [43:04] » So, you would prefer the gray? Personally, considering I have a gray [43:07] house, considering I already have a gray house, so I'm biased. [43:11] » Well, is your house a historic house? >> It's right down the street. Yeah. [43:15] » Okay. Because there's a lot of houses that are gray and the red is most She [43:19] makes a valid point. >> Most of this panel is is gray house in [43:22] the village. So, >> there's a lot of gray houses. So, we're [43:26] trying to keep >> I understand that. Um, you have comments [43:30] on the color? Sorry. Yeah, it's it's it's a little red schoolhouse and it's [43:36] not a red schoolhouse >> with that siding on it with that color. [43:41] » Does Hardy make other reds? >> That's the only red [43:44] » is the only red option >> in the smooth option. [43:48] » Is there a red option in smooth primer and then painted paint? [43:52] » Can hard can hardy be painted. >> Yeah. Yeah. [43:55] » But then do I have to >> That was the second option. You can get [43:58] it in primer. [clears throat] And do I have to keep paying? [44:00] » This is primary 10ear warranty. [44:04] » Yeah, they reduce the warranty. >> I thought there was two. [44:07] » Anyone else have comments on the color while we're while that's on the table? [44:12] Party with a whole bunch of different colors. And there's another red. [44:14] » Oh, no. It doesn't [44:20] change. >> But then you paint [44:24] it at this point. >> I know. I know. But like I [44:27] » cuz this would be a permanent >> to me. This is such a landmark. [44:30] » But it's a color [44:35] change. >> It's a color change. [44:38] » We typically don't >> we don't we don't um [44:44] » we don't but it's it's the permanence of the it's the permanence of the color [44:47] that allows us to not really have an opinion on that. [44:51] » Right. The last changeability. I know that someone told me that there [44:56] was like basic party >> so they could Okay. [45:05] » Tell tell me about >> I understand the whole cost factor of [45:10] this. This is an extremely expensive project and one that you hope lasts [45:15] » maybe forever while you're in your house and I I appreciate that. [45:19] » Um >> I really appreciate that. What kind of [45:24] additional expense would there be if you are painting [45:28] the Hardy board with with a similar color as opposed to picking a brown red? [45:34] » How much more expensive would that be? >> Again, we don't normally get into [45:38] painting ourselves, but I can definitely look into it. [45:40] » Okay. >> I can also look into it and see if Hardy [45:43] does a customization color. >> Okay. [45:45] » That they can preaint it at the factory ahead of time. So, [45:49] » let alone the what William was saying that four and a half inch reveal. [45:53] » Yeah. >> Um, so the real reveal is four and a [45:56] half inch much wider. [45:59] » If it's going to be that much more expensive, I'm not going to I'll just do [46:01] the gray. I'm not going to spend twice the I can't [46:05] It's either keep it as it is or do it gray and white, which you approved last [46:11] year. it. I I from my own personal experience, [46:16] it was cheaper to get it from the factory because they have to touch it up [46:20] when they install things anyway and they have to prime the seams of anything they [46:23] cut and they still are having to go through and touch up all the paint [46:27] because yes, it comes from the factory, but then it gets dinged. So there's [46:30] still painting involved, right? Even if you install it versus getting the exact [46:34] color that if the color there you really like and want to preserve and it's from [46:38] it's less money to get the material from the factory because all they're going [46:41] through is doing prime and not doing the painting step afterwards and then you [46:44] have a company that whoever can paint it because there's a lot of painting [46:47] companies. >> So you are going to get the material a [46:50] little less cost. So you are going to save some there because it's not going [46:53] to be prepainted, >> right? [46:54] » And so then now you have to have a painter come and paint the house, right? [46:57] Yeah. So [47:01] you can understand like we're we have we have concerns about the color. Um and I [47:06] think if there's a reasonable solution >> to get a color as close as possible to [47:11] this >> it only because this house [47:14] » is is sort of a landmark in this town and it's right at the doorstep of [47:18] Franklin. >> You guys approved the gray and white. [47:21] Why would you not approve this country red? The gray and white wasn't [47:25] preserving anything. So there with paint color when you paint existing siding it [47:32] can be changed again. With Hardy board that's a permanent color. [47:39] » So it's a little bit different than approve the gray. He Well [47:43] » he likes gray. >> He likes gray. I like gray. [47:45] » He likes gray. >> But I'm not speaking for the entire [47:47] council up here. Right. >> No. I understand that. [47:48] » I don't like the I don't like the red. >> He likes the gray cardboard [47:53] » of my least worst options. Like red for me personally is here. Gray is above [47:58] that. Primed and you're painting it with the red color that matches is my first [48:03] choice. I'm just trying to find >> an avenue to help you out to get what [48:06] you want. Right. >> Right. [48:09] » If you go if she does gray, it's going to be seven. [48:14] » No, I think we still want four. >> Or it's still going to be four. [48:16] » Yeah. >> Okay. That's why I making sure [48:20] » we preced the gray color already. What it is? That's why you just [48:25] went a year ago because it wasn't hardy. >> It wasn't hard, [48:29] » right? >> It was what? And I don't remember being [48:32] at that meeting, but I don't remember that one either. [48:34] » I read about it later. >> Okay. Um, [48:37] » so this is this is sort of the consensus that I I feel like is evolving up here, [48:42] which is the the Hardy board siding should be the 4 in 4 and 1/2 in size um [48:51] to closely match what's on the house. Now, the smaller [48:55] um structure. Um our preference would be that the house [49:03] color be as close to what it is right now. Um this school, you know, [49:08] schoolhouse red. Um if you can order that product in a custom color, that [49:16] makes sense. Um, and that's [49:21] I feel like we could approve that tonight if you can get those elements [49:25] together and that's acceptable to you in terms of [49:28] » So if I get those together, I don't have to come back to October for that piece. [49:34] » Trim, >> I think so. [49:35] » Trim, >> not the trim. No, no, no. Just so if he [49:40] says to me, I can get the 4 and 1/2 in board in schoolhouse red. Yes. [49:46] » And it's going to cost X more. And I say, okay, he can go ahead and order [49:50] that. >> Yes. [49:51] » Okay. And then we still need to come back in October. [49:55] » I'm just taking notes. >> Yes. [49:57] » Um with >> you understand what they want with the [50:01] trim with the trim list and examples of the trim list. Now, when you say trim [50:05] list and doors, what do you what do you want for the doors? You want pictures of [50:08] the doors or >> Yes. pictures of the doors. [50:13] » What you want? Okay. >> Uh, will they be painted white as well? [50:16] » Yes. >> Cut sheets. [50:18] » Cut sheets. Is that what you call them? >> That's what he said. [50:21] » I got a spec sheet of all that. >> So, real quick question. So, I didn't [50:25] put a lot of that other stuff together where Alexis gave you some of the [50:28] information. I think it was a pre uh previous contractor, correct? Yeah, it [50:33] was kind of >> I will I will have more details of spec [50:35] sheet of what exactly we're doing. >> Um, why is this changing by the way? Do [50:39] you gutters, we got windows, we got window trim, doors, siding. [50:45] » I did this spec sheet my I did this myself. Yep. [50:48] » He wasn't involved. >> No, it's just more what else is being [50:50] modified. >> No windows. [50:51] » Yeah. Yeah. But gutters are being modified or replaced. [50:55] » Removed and replaced. >> So, and you're proposing a half round [50:58] white gutter. >> This? Now I'm doing five five inch [51:02] gutter with 2x3 down spouts >> just even like the neighbor's house next [51:07] door and a couple other ones. >> Does that match what's on the house now? [51:11] » That does not match. >> Oh, I thought we were doing the same [51:14] gutter. So, um [51:21] » we don't have a proposal, right? >> No. [51:24] » Yeah. Nothing [51:27] taken down preserved. >> Yeah. [51:30] » Anything can be preserved. Now becomes an issue if it leaks afterwards. Not to [51:36] for it because I put it back on and removed it and put it back on. [51:39] » So even when we do any houses, even if I do a brand new house and if I remove [51:43] existing gutters and put it back, if it leaks, I take full accountability now [51:46] cuz I fixed it. >> But we know that [51:49] » right, >> majority companies are not going to take [51:51] liability for that. and somebody wants to sign off on it and you got an issue [51:56] about the week and I don't want to deal with that. [51:58] » All these other things we can't approve the campaign, [52:00] » right? Okay. So, I mean the application Yeah. Go ahead, [52:04] » please. >> No, what I was going to say is, you [52:07] know, what's in front of us today is replace existing wood siding with James [52:12] Hardy fiber cement siding that closely replicates the appearance, profile, [52:17] scale, and character. This that's what's technically in front of us today. So, [52:21] just to make your life easier, when you come back here, which you're going to [52:25] have to come back here for all of the trim work, [52:28] » okay? >> Um, you need to you need to have the cut [52:31] sheets. Is that what they're called? >> Cut sheets. [52:34] » And if you have examples, bring those, too. Okay. If you have [52:39] examples of the the pieces that are going to go on on the home, bring those, [52:43] too. Okay. If if they're available, and I think you said some of them might be [52:47] available. Okay. Bring what's available >> and gutters. [52:51] » The gutters. >> Bring a plan for the gutters. Um there [52:55] are half round gutters on the home right now. They're white [52:59] » and >> No. Well, right now they're not white. [53:01] » Okay. They're galvanized metal. >> They're just [53:04] » they're silver. Okay. >> Um then if you want to keep that color, [53:10] I guess that's that's fine. >> But we would paint them white. You would [53:12] paint white. Okay. So, you want you would do would you agree to do the half [53:16] round style of gutter? Yes. I mean, if we can get it [53:22] » requesting that we'll have to do >> I think to replace um in kind is is [53:27] generally what we >> Yeah. [53:29] » Okay. >> Okay. [53:31] » On the front on the front door, the back door and the garage door, side door. [53:35] » Do you need to see the back door and the garage side door? That's just a [53:37] question. That's fine. >> So, that garage door has been changed. [53:40] It's a steel door. >> Yeah, we need a chunk out of it. [53:43] » So, someone's already replaced it. Whether approved or not approved, [53:46] someone's already changed it from way back. Bring the bring the examples of [53:48] the bring photos of the doors and the the manufacturer, [53:53] » the color, >> cut sheets, [53:55] » the cut sheets, and this will make this process go so much faster than kind of [54:01] talking about what we're going to try to do, what we may may do, etc. um because [54:06] we just we just we're we're in a sort of a bad position here where we we're [54:11] trying to envision what you're putting out there and we just don't have [54:14] examples in front of us and we're we're trying to be [54:18] » we try to be efficient with your time and you know get you on going on your [54:22] project. So um so if you can get the 4in Hardy plane [54:31] with no grooves. Oh, plane. Is that what he The smooth [54:36] » smooth. >> Can we do a motion or [54:38] » we Yeah. >> So, you think, and I'm asking your [54:40] opinion. You think the smooth You're an architect. You think the smooth is going [54:43] to be prettier than the wood grain? >> That's my I'm just Then I would do the [54:49] smooth. I don't have a problem doing the >> pictures of it smooth. [54:52] » Okay. >> I don't think I've ever done otherwise. [54:56] » Okay. >> There's a lot of examples right in the [54:58] historic district >> where it's smooth. [55:01] » Okay. So, in my professional opinion, I'm not [55:05] trying to disagree with you, but just using my eyes, [55:10] the existing siding bear is not smooth. But if you want smooth, we'll do smooth. [55:15] » Are you replacing that sighting >> for a reason? [55:19] » The reason being that it's rotted. >> Yeah. [55:23] that it's it's um peeling, it's blistering, [55:28] » and you want to replace it with something that replicates that. [55:32] » That's my question. >> I wouldn't want it I wouldn't want to [55:37] replicate something that I find inferior that I'm trying to get rid of. [55:41] » I like smooth, >> right? [laughter] Smooth is good. Smooth [55:42] is good. Smooth >> should be less costly, too. [55:44] » Four. Four. It comes in four inch side width. There's different sizes, but I'll [55:48] definitely check to see. Our whole thing with the wood is that it's like a faux [55:52] wood. It's like replicated to look old. And like Laura Laura was saying, that's [55:57] what we try to >> veer away from are materials that are [56:00] trying to look historic. >> So is the smooth going to look more [56:04] modern in your eyes. >> It's going to look like wood. [56:08] » Clean. >> Okay. [clears throat] [56:10] » It should it should look like wood like wood. [56:13] » Okay. >> Exciting. Well, [56:14] » yeah. The wood that was there with new wood, [56:18] it would be smooth. >> It would be smooth. [56:20] » Okay. I'm fine with that. >> Like any [56:23] » So, we need to make a motion >> to approve what we've approved for you [56:27] tonight. Okay. >> So, don't leave yet. [56:30] » Okay. >> Um, who's going to tackle this one? [56:33] » Well, it's just a silent, right? >> I'll [56:36] Okay. You want to tackle it? >> I'll try to help to approve the motion [56:39] of what they're requesting. >> Uh, [56:42] » start with the address. Just the address. [56:44] » He wasn't in the roll call. So, does he need to state that he's here before he [56:47] » Oh, you have to state that you're here because you weren't here for roll call. [56:50] » Okay. >> My name's Rand. [56:53] » I wrote you in. >> He is here for the minute. [laughter] [56:59] Uh, >> guess I better pull it [57:10] » for 32310 Franklin Road. uh James Hardy sighting [57:16] uh to approve the James Hardy sighting to be firehouse schoolhouse red in color [57:24] to replicate the existing uh scale at uh approximately 4 in sighting. [57:31] Uh the trim and window the trim and doors are not included as approval. [57:43] » Um you should specify that it's a smooth James Hardy. [57:46] » It's a smooth smooth James Hardy sighting. [57:49] » Mhm. >> Uh [57:51] to be either provided in in the schoolhouse red color or to be provided [57:56] in prime to be painted. Anything else? [58:01] » Um, just that it um should be you said this to the scale, but the you said it [58:07] comes in a 4 inch. >> They have different reveals. Yes. [58:10] » Okay. >> So, I'll try to find out if they have [58:12] the four and a half. I know they have the three. I know they have the two. [58:15] » Okay. >> So, I have to double check if they have. [58:17] » So, if they don't have a four and a half, would you be fine with four or [58:19] three and a half? >> Or I should let you I should come back [58:22] to the next meeting and let you know. >> Well, some of that I just took a [58:25] picture. Some of it's four and a half and some of it's five and a half. So, [58:30] I I think if it's between four and five that's probably okay. [58:36] » Four or five. >> I think the standard is four. [58:38] » Standard is four according to Mr. Finick. So [58:41] » you should probably be able to find a 4 in [58:44] » reveal board. Color call schoolhouse red. I just want to make sure that we [58:47] don't do >> I'm just going to take I'm going to [58:49] break off a piece. >> Try to color match it. [58:53] » Right. >> Okay. [58:54] » Okay. So I think we have the motion. Secretary of Interior standard [58:57] » second >> and you have to say what secretary of [59:00] the interior standard that most closely it's probably number nine. [59:07] Um look on [59:14] » exterior alterations >> that that these um approvals are [59:20] consistent with >> these approvals are consistent with [59:23] » the secretary of the interior standard number [59:25] » standard number nine. >> Okay. [59:28] » Painting and colors. >> Okay. [59:30] » I'll second. >> Everyone in favor. [59:33] » I Okay. >> Oh, that was [59:35] » Thank you. Who second it? Hi. >> This is their seconded it. [59:41] » All right. Thank you. These are yours. >> We appreciate your time today and [59:47] » your willingness to work with us. >> Appreciate it. [1:00:03] » All right. Um All right. [1:00:06] Next on the agenda for new business, thank you for waiting tonight [1:00:11] 32716 to 32744 Franklin Road facade [1:00:16] renovations. The applicants are here. The applicant is here. Um, can you [1:00:21] please come up and discuss your project, please? [1:00:28] » Is this not working? >> I have no idea. [1:00:31] » Okay. >> Last time it came off of that computer. [1:00:36] Yeah, Evan is the one who usually kind of harder to manages that. I don't know [1:00:42] everything about it. >> You're being heaven tonight. What's [1:00:45] going on? >> I send everything electronically. So, [1:00:47] » yeah, it's okay. >> It heaven. [1:00:57] » So, I mean, we've all met before. >> We have. Welcome back. [1:01:01] » We're very excited about your project. >> I know. [1:01:03] » I I hope so. I'm a little >> Yes. [1:01:06] We're excited about your feedback. [laughter] [1:01:10] » Don't say that. Yeah. [laughter] [1:01:15] » With the fact that I thought we incorporated a lot of what you told us [1:01:18] last time again with, you know, revealing comments to keep the original [1:01:23] materials where you can, you know, all the historical significance. I mean, the [1:01:28] we made some changes. We truly did listen to what we said. We made some, [1:01:31] you know, incorporate them. The biggest things that we're doing right is we are [1:01:35] going to replace the roof as essentially last time to the original bridge with [1:01:40] the black shingles. The great news for us is we only actually have to replace [1:01:44] half of the roof. So um that original piece which is the north side of the [1:01:50] roof can stay. It's not we took we put everything down on the inside. It's not [1:01:55] uh rotting as bad as the other side. So that part can stay. Um it actually makes [1:02:00] it more complicated for us. We're trying to put the things together. We've been [1:02:03] working with the structural engineer and architect for the last six weeks to try [1:02:07] and get it straight. So we'll be replacing um just the south side of the [1:02:12] roof. This the south half of it. Again, same pitch in the front, improve [1:02:18] shingles, same look and feel. Um the second, you know, biggest element is [1:02:22] that we intend to just restore um the brick on the outside now. We just want [1:02:27] to kind of restore it to historical beauty if possible. Um we will replace [1:02:33] the windows and doors, you know, as closely as possible wood, but again, you [1:02:37] know, things are rotting, they need to be replaced. Um and then the other big [1:02:41] change is that we just want to replace kind of the back repaint the [1:02:46] back half of the building right now, which is cinder block. Um we just want [1:02:49] to paint it, our intention is to paint it sort of the navy blue. [1:02:53] So brick in the front, navy blue in the back. That said, again, I know you've [1:02:57] looked at what's there and so I think we're sort of just ready to field [1:03:02] » you have some questions >> questions in the comments. [1:03:05] » Fire away. >> Okay. So, for me, the easy part for me [1:03:09] on this project is the paint colors. I think they're great. [1:03:12] » I think they're appropriate. I think they make sense with the with the [1:03:15] project. So, um for me, that's the easiest part. I know that there there [1:03:21] are a few exterior changes that um many of the commissioners here have uh [1:03:28] comments and concerns about and Amanda um our liaison, our historical liaison [1:03:34] uh consultant has also has some concerns about some of [1:03:39] the proposed changes on the outside and um she consults with us about [1:03:44] compliance with you know the secretary of interior rules that we have to comply [1:03:48] by. Oh, comply with sorry. So, I don't know who wants to get the ball rolling [1:03:54] um on any of the structural or window changes or other changes that are here [1:04:01] uh in terms of asking some questions, but we can Mr. Pinum, do you want to [1:04:07] start or Amanda, do you want to put some of your concerns out there first? [1:04:11] » Honestly, I think you guys should start. Okay. Yeah. And then if like if I have [1:04:17] anything to add on I mostly sent you this because there were so many things [1:04:21] different things they wanted to do that I wanted to break everyone out so that [1:04:26] you knew that there were this many >> right different things to approve [1:04:32] » like each one of those needs to be approved. So, let's talk about the paint [1:04:38] colors first, just because I think that's probably the easiest part of this [1:04:43] » of this project. I don't know people have thoughts on that. [1:04:46] » I think they're great. >> I think they're great. [1:04:48] » Okay. Yeah. Anyone? No. Good. Okay. I think we're we're in agreement on your [1:04:52] paint color. So, >> thank you. [1:04:54] » Hooray. Um unless >> we're out of here. [1:04:57] » Stripping. Okay. [laughter] Uh >> oh. Okay. [1:04:59] » Well, we'll go with stripping the brick and then [1:05:02] » how to protect it and seal it. >> We haven't talked about that one yet. [1:05:05] We're just talking about the paint on the on the wood part, right? [1:05:09] » Yeah. And the block and the block part. Oh, the block part. Yeah. [1:05:13] » I have some basic background questions. Forgive me. I'm new, so maybe everybody [1:05:21] else was here the last time you came. I take it you're Andrew. [1:05:26] » I am Andrew. >> Steve Car. I'm her partner. [1:05:30] » Steve. Okay. Um. >> Yeah. [1:05:37] I see that the entire southern half of the roof is being replaced. [1:05:41] » Yes. >> Is there the reason for that? [1:05:44] » It's rotting. >> It's a rotted [1:05:46] » and it's not decode. I mean, it's literally a part. [1:05:48] » So, it's not the entire southern uh we've had a structural engineer come in. [1:05:55] We've gutted the inside. We've been able to take a look at what we need to. So, [1:06:00] you're right that the southern half, but it's not it's not going all the way to [1:06:03] the back. It's just to uh >> of the restaurant portion [1:06:08] » of the restaurant portion, but not the entire restaurant portion. The uh [1:06:15] » it's being made higher. >> Sorry. [1:06:18] » It's being made higher. >> It is inside. [1:06:22] » So the roof the roof I we talked about last time and [1:06:25] » actually it's like >> we had a right [1:06:28] » and then back but not the flat piece. >> This table remain the same. In the back [1:06:33] we have to raise a little bit. >> We approved that last time, right? [1:06:39] » Okay. >> We did approve it last time. [1:06:42] » Did you approve it last time? >> Yeah, we approved. We approved it. [1:06:44] » We could move forward with the roof as long as we didn't change the front [1:06:48] facade. Right. >> So really, this is about the facade [1:06:51] » is approved. >> Yes. [1:06:53] » We didn't approve anything at that meeting. We didn't make a motion. There [1:06:57] was no application. We just we just fielded their they got they got comments [1:07:02] from us as they went before >> it was a drop in [1:07:07] » that it was those two sheets of drop in that came in last time that got added [1:07:11] without applications. Was that um >> the change order? [1:07:14] » You didn't make a motion. >> No, that's right. [1:07:18] » Cuz that was last meeting, right? So, we were instructed to bring an application [1:07:24] and my understanding with the conversation I had with Bill was that we [1:07:29] could move forward with that roof replacement [1:07:34] » as long as the E did not change >> as long as we didn't change the the look [1:07:38] of >> Yep. [1:07:40] » I which work has not been started yet because we've had to go through a [1:07:45] process. >> So, as long as you're repairing it that [1:07:48] that was We always knew we can't repair it. So, we came here saying we needed to [1:07:52] replace it. >> We knew it's I I don't want to replace [1:07:55] it. Believe me, I'm very very sure you don't have to code. It's Alex, you [1:08:00] walked in there. >> I was inside. Yeah. [1:08:03] » I don't want to replace. >> Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah. Okay. [1:08:07] » So, what were we going to say? >> Yeah. What were you going to say? [1:08:10] » Well, I just needed the background and I Is there anything else that I missed? [1:08:15] Well, I went and reviewed it after the meeting. They have opened up the inside. [1:08:22] The It's quite a building. It's been added [1:08:27] to I can't tell you how many times cuz some parts of it have steel beams, wood [1:08:32] beams. There's probably 10 different roof pitches to places that I don't [1:08:39] understand why they ever built it that way. [clears throat] But the part that [1:08:43] Steve and I went over was that portion that was discussed the last meeting and [1:08:49] that part was rotted. I mean to the point where [1:08:54] » it was structural >> safe. [1:08:56] » I questioned it structural integrity at this point. [1:08:59] » Yeah. So I did tell them they need to get started on that part of it, the [1:09:04] structural part with the understanding nothing's being touched on the front [1:09:10] side, street side, and that any minimal change in the pitch to get that water to [1:09:17] run off of that roof was really necessary pursuant to their architect's [1:09:23] recommendation. It it had roofs that went to each other [1:09:26] and there was nothing but a big puddle up there. Well, flat roof, you know, [1:09:30] Bill, it leaks like a sib when that happens. And it's been leaking in there [1:09:34] for years. >> I mean, I can't tell you how gross the [1:09:39] color of that wood looked that I was looking at. It was It was bad. [1:09:43] » It is bad. >> So, um, yes, they did start in that area [1:09:48] that I understood from the previous discussion, [1:09:53] albeit they didn't have application. We haven't we haven't proceeded. We haven't [1:09:59] proceeded from that point. We we just wanted to make sure in that last time [1:10:02] that we were here >> that you guys would allow us to. We're [1:10:06] not changing the facade. But in the meantime, for 2 months, we've had [1:10:10] structural engineers and architects. We're going about it the right way and [1:10:13] trying to make sure that any changes and and in that discovery, we don't have to [1:10:18] replace the entire roof, just half of it. Um so we're continuing to to find [1:10:23] out. Um I and we are to the point uh where our architect is finalizing how [1:10:32] we're going to make that roof as as structural, you know, in the final [1:10:36] steps, but we've already thought that we were to the point where our contractor [1:10:40] is going to be able to to start proceeding with that. They're really [1:10:45] thinking the concentration of this was the facade. [1:10:48] » Mhm. Well, [1:10:53] that roof since it's almost not visible is barely within [1:10:59] our purview, but right >> it's the [1:11:03] the parapit that is concealing it. >> Correct. [1:11:07] » So, we have to decide if we accept the premise that it has to have a new roof [1:11:12] and if so, then it has to have a higher parapit. [1:11:16] » Correct. >> Or par sidewall and parap. [1:11:19] » Mhm. And I can accept those. I can accept [1:11:24] both premises. I I would think [1:11:30] that, you know, you're eliminating some of the character from the existing [1:11:35] profile of the parap. Now, it comes up and down. You know, [1:11:40] » we can mimic the character if we go higher. [1:11:43] » It's been very, >> it's been simplified. [1:11:47] And it might be that it You could add [1:11:52] another step or so in the front. >> Let me get that picture out that shows [1:11:58] this. >> And it's this one. [1:11:59] » It's this one right here. >> This one right here where they lose one [1:12:04] step. So that So what you're saying is either it goes this way like that [1:12:13] » or we're eliminating two drop downs. >> Yeah. [1:12:17] » Yeah. These just looks now. >> Um [1:12:20] » I don't know if you can get all the way down [1:12:22] » these two. >> Yeah. [1:12:23] » To that front one or not, but if you could get [1:12:26] » to there. >> I wish we I wish we had this blown up [1:12:31] » so everyone with that yellow line. [1:12:34] » Yeah. >> So anything above that yellow line, we [1:12:37] can drop it down to that yellow line. It's just that roof is going to come [1:12:41] come at an angle and we just want to protect how it looks from from the side. [1:12:46] That's what apparently it is. >> Does your new roof have to go to the [1:12:51] peak of the manard? >> Well, in order for us to maintain the [1:12:56] appearance from the road, >> then we want to keep this peak so it [1:13:01] doesn't change the street side. >> But it can be lower, right? You could [1:13:07] » still want to keep a pitch so when it meets up with this second this other [1:13:10] roof, >> then then it's able to drain the water [1:13:13] off, >> right? So maybe the more pitch that I [1:13:17] can have to to >> allow that that access that [1:13:23] » I understand. I'm thinking if you could pick up [1:13:26] » 8 in or one step in this brick, but that and that's the other question I have. Is [1:13:32] this the structural clay tile that you say has been painted and you're going to [1:13:37] uh expose? >> Is that what this orange stuff is or is [1:13:42] that correct? >> Red brick. [1:13:43] » That's brick. That's >> that's the red brick. Everything that's [1:13:46] indicated as red brick is what is red brick. Now we just want to peel like 15 [1:13:51] layers of paint. >> A lot of [1:13:54] » Okay. Well, there is a mention of some kind of tile [1:13:58] » or some kind of a [1:14:04] interpreted tile when it was actually brick. [1:14:06] » It was brick. The front I hit the write up said brick. I think it's [1:14:10] » it's going to be [sighs] >> it's going to be cleaned off. [1:14:14] » Yeah, it's burnt. >> And have you brick and center while [1:14:16] you're cleaning that off? [1:14:20] » It says burnt clay. Brick [1:14:24] » I thought structural clay. >> Yep. [1:14:26] » And then cinder block. >> Yeah. [1:14:30] » Have you said how you're going to clean it? [1:14:34] » We haven't determined exactly how yet. Um I think that my contractor had talked [1:14:42] about soft sand blasting. My concern is because the brick is so brittle that [1:14:47] it'll deteriorate it. Right. >> So my suggestion is chemically. [1:14:53] » Yeah. there. Um, I'd say sand blasting is not an option because it takes away [1:14:59] the quarter of an inch of the surface and makes it totally porous and then the [1:15:04] rest of >> I think as old as that bird would take [1:15:06] off more than >> um Okay. Um, [1:15:13] I think you should um for your own benefit [1:15:20] indication how to do that properly. or it'll be a bigger problem. [1:15:26] But um that would be my recommendation on the [1:15:29] » what deterioration occurs through the exposure will be replaced with [1:15:35] uh red brick with comparable red brick. >> Can I ask a question? What do you guys [1:15:41] need approved out of this massive amount of stuff tonight [1:15:45] » versus that parapit wall that he addressed first because we need to move [1:15:50] forward with the roof. So, if we gave if we were able to give you approval or we [1:15:54] talk through the parapit roof and figure out if it's going up to get an extra [1:15:58] step or we're modifying the front of it in the paint color, that's at least two [1:16:02] things off your like 30 item list. I'll tell you what, [1:16:08] » if we could get the parapit wall and be able to proceed with the roof and then [1:16:13] more helpful suggestions so we don't come in here blind. [1:16:16] » We're we're just coming in and showing you what we'd like to do. We bought we [1:16:20] bought a we bought a the worst building you have in in the village. [laughter] [1:16:24] » I'm sure there's worse. >> I can I can commute with you in mine. [1:16:27] » Come on down. Bill's been there. Come on down. [1:16:29] » Mine was pretty bad. So >> you're you're gray and hard to make [1:16:32] something. >> No, we're here to help you through this. [1:16:36] » And we don't want to waste, like I said before, we don't want to waste your time [1:16:39] and we want to make this as efficient as possible, but and we don't want to delay [1:16:42] your project either. So maybe breaking this up into more manageable chunks and [1:16:47] we can discuss the paraped and the roof tonight and just [1:16:51] » but you also know that when you do a project [1:16:53] » but when you say as many multiple as the multiple issues I mean we're [1:16:59] talking about four walls and we're only changing one. [1:17:03] » The roof the window is taking out a window taking out like closing that off [1:17:08] is an item. What windows are you guys using? What kind of doors are you guys [1:17:11] using? the brick, even like clean off the brick. There's going to be more [1:17:15] things as we go through it. I'm just trying to figure out what you guys need [1:17:17] since it's already 8:17 on a Wednesday. >> I appreciate that cuz our time's [1:17:23] valuable, too. But we we were the first on the docket and we kicked down. [1:17:27] » We thought you guys were getting a longer one. So, [1:17:30] » we'd like to be because we do have a lot of stuff. I mean, this is a big project [1:17:34] » and we appreciate and we want to >> You guys are I mean, we can try and [1:17:38] hammer in all this stuff tonight. The windows that we're proposing to take out [1:17:41] are metal framed uh metal framed windows that we'd like to replace with wood [1:17:47] frame that that coincides with what your standards are. The the the building [1:17:52] entirely, I don't know how it's gotten as many aspects of it through this [1:17:57] process, but we're genuinely trying to uh not make it historic, but but make it [1:18:04] what you want it to be. Um, there are AC units that are just randomly stuck in [1:18:13] the walls. When you go inside, now that everything's exposed, there are door [1:18:18] exterior doorways that are just boarded up that were inside the wall. if if you [1:18:25] were to take if you were to see what what it is and what we're trying to do. [1:18:30] Um there there is a lot more to it. But um [1:18:36] some the wall some of the walls that like that parapit wall that we're like [1:18:40] we'll probably want to replace the entire wall uh and then fac and then you [1:18:47] know fix the facade to match what we're talking about. But we're still talking [1:18:53] with structural engineers to that are letting us know there are four different [1:18:57] types of of block that that wall in that you know it's been built on and built [1:19:03] on. There is a doorway that's been sealed up and two AC units, you know, [1:19:08] and the window is so randomly placed, >> you know, it's we're we're trying to [1:19:14] coincide with with what you guys want, but we're also trying to make it as [1:19:17] appealing in a building uh as we possibly can that that suits uh what [1:19:23] we're trying to to do as a business. Can I just ask a question real quick of [1:19:28] Amanda? for that front pair that this this and the front with that top it [1:19:34] seems like even what Bill brought up there's two options for it either you ra [1:19:38] so because right now it's two steps two steps and it was going to go to two [1:19:42] steps one step but the options are you go to one step and one step and and [1:19:47] raise the front brick work up or you raise the overall structure up to go to [1:19:51] two steps and two steps is there a preferred like I don't I I don't know of [1:19:56] any when this place was built what it looked like we really have anything to [1:20:00] even go back to what was there, right? >> Original photos unless Bill Lamont has [1:20:05] something buried over there somewhere. But I [1:20:09] » my my understanding is it was the original firehouse for the villa. Like [1:20:14] » I have zero information related to that. Like no, [1:20:18] » we don't either. And we've tried we've tried to figure out [laughter] [1:20:21] » but you can I'm I'm telling you you could stand in you go that was that's a [1:20:25] different building than this. You know, it's it's [1:20:29] some kind of shock like a and then the other side was a auto repair, right? The [1:20:34] first part I feel like the original piece [1:20:36] » it and then it went over and then back back. [1:20:39] » It's Yeah, speculation but similar to [clears throat] the tin shop that was [1:20:45] across the street here that was added on to and is now a residence. It was [1:20:49] probably something similar to that where it was like a a shop like you're talking [1:20:54] like they they fixed things they did they they [1:20:58] » tinker >> shopped. Yeah. [laughter] And then they [1:21:01] just like expanded and added and then added some other businesses that [1:21:05] complemented. That's speculating of what the development of that bu building [1:21:10] probably was. Um, >> I would gladly go as high as you want [1:21:15] with as many steps as you want on the parapit, but I'll probably have to [1:21:19] rebuild that wall. And if I if I have to rebuild that wall, I in replacing the [1:21:26] windows, I I I feel like situating the window in [1:21:30] a in a better place that complements the building as the walls down. It's not [1:21:36] going to I I don't know how that changes the historic value of that wall. We did [1:21:42] some of that with the Franklin where we moved a couple windows around and we [1:21:45] took a window out and we put a window in just because of where where the one of [1:21:49] the windows was is where the back of the back of the freezer [1:21:52] » or it was in the wrong spot >> and where you situate something inside [1:21:56] like a you really don't want a window >> right there. [1:22:01] We're not We We We've sat and looked at this building for [1:22:07] hours and hours trying trying to figure out the best way and and trust me, the [1:22:14] first drawings that we wanted to hand you months ago was was wildly different. [1:22:18] And we just knew uh that we we knew that it wasn't what you guys would recognize, [1:22:25] but also wasn't the best thing for the building. We're trying to make those [1:22:29] decisions the right way. We're not trying to drastically change things. [1:22:33] We're just trying to hide the roof with a parapit. You know, if the wall's gone [1:22:38] and and we're going to put in a a new window, why not put the window where it [1:22:43] should be to in complimenting if and and we have to take the window [1:22:49] out anyway because it's metal, you know, it's metal framed and you want a wood, [1:22:53] you know, wood pane window or wood frame window. [1:22:55] » Question on the brick real quick. is are we think it's going to look like the [1:22:59] like Lisa's place by the time we're said and done [1:23:02] » that's Can I >> say something about the windows. So if [1:23:07] the original window was metal then that's the historic window. We don't [1:23:14] want to replace that with wood. >> The original tote. [1:23:18] » So when I replace the window because because they're paper thin like they're [1:23:23] not energy efficient windows. I have to replace them the, you know, so when a a [1:23:30] guest is sitting next to the window, I it's it's comfortable. [1:23:35] So I I have to replace it for energy efficient reasons. Do I replace it now [1:23:41] with a wood or with a metal because I don't know if it's original or when it [1:23:45] would at what point in construction or remodeling it was installed. So, [1:23:51] » if you have a if every window window that you want to replace is a different [1:23:57] window, you need to bring us pictures and show us what is there and what [1:24:03] you're going to replace it with. Because if you have original metal [1:24:07] casement windows in there, those are historic windows. Those can't that's [1:24:12] that's not something that we want to have moved. I I'm the consultant. [1:24:19] » No, I understand. I'm only going off of >> I'm only going off of the guidelines [1:24:24] that I've read >> deep and then that says I have to have [1:24:27] wood, you know. >> So, [1:24:29] » this is great information. This is this is learning for me. [1:24:33] » If if it's wood originally, you want to replace you and you want to replace it, [1:24:37] you have to replace it with wood, right? >> So, when you say originally, it's just [1:24:41] what's there now. >> Um well, that's what we we why we need [1:24:46] to see what is there now. If every window that you want to replace is [1:24:51] different. >> Are they all metal? [1:24:52] » Regardless, no one. >> So regardless of consistency through the [1:24:57] building, it's what's there now in this section stays and then what's there now [1:25:02] in this section is different but stays and then like there there are [1:25:06] » possibly >> it would depend on what's there. See, [1:25:11] we're not, you know, when we have a homeowner here, all their windows are [1:25:18] are probably the same. >> The house was built at the same time. [1:25:22] » Your building, >> like we've been talking about has been [1:25:26] pieced together. So to for for the HC to be able to determine what materials that [1:25:35] you have are historic materials and should be um restored rather than [1:25:43] replaced if possible. Then they would have to see what is there. So if if the [1:25:49] windows that you want to replace are all the same then [clears throat] show us [1:25:53] one. >> Sure. My question is is again just [1:25:56] consistency and in restoring it historically to what era, [1:26:03] » right? >> I mean [1:26:06] almost [1:26:12] » we've done >> the air conditioner doesn't work. [1:26:15] » It might make it easier. >> It's pretty welcome to be [1:26:19] » you proposing to move. >> It would be useful though. take out and [1:26:25] brick over a bunch of windows and to move doors, to add doors, um doors, [1:26:34] windows, openings, fenestration, egress, [1:26:38] exit, entry, those are huge things for the secretary of interior when it comes [1:26:44] to historic buildings. where your openings are. It It says something about [1:26:53] the building. And so it sounds like your building has had lots of openings [1:27:02] [laughter] over the years. And what ever has been [1:27:07] done before this group of people was here to [1:27:15] see experience? No, it has not been documented well enough for us to be able [1:27:23] to keep a trail of what historic changes are. [1:27:27] But you also have the you also have the power to allow us to bring it to a [1:27:31] consistent I mean >> right the metal there's a metal door [1:27:35] that's a hollow core aluminum door that you can get at Lowe's right you know uh [1:27:41] » that's not his >> right what without knowing what is there [1:27:46] we can't make a good decision about whether or not that should be replaced [1:27:50] » what do people usually do in these meetings like you do you usually go on [1:27:53] site like how what's the usual process you submit pictures. [1:27:57] » Okay. You want a picture? >> We need a picture of what you want to [1:28:02] take out. If you want to remove an element, you need to show us what you [1:28:05] want to remove. >> I'm I We really thought we were [1:28:08] following that. >> No, this is a really good It's a really [1:28:11] good stab at it. >> But for the Franklin, we had each [1:28:14] individual window came before us with a page. Here's what the window is. Here's [1:28:18] what we're doing. Anyway, actually I think when we went through and did that [1:28:21] motion, we actually listed off every single window and door and change in the [1:28:26] motion and the changes like that we made were already had been were like [1:28:31] reverting back in many ways. Yes, we moved some windows, but it was to revert [1:28:35] back and it fit their overall plan. So, it wasn't changing overly changing [1:28:38] character that way. >> I have been in the building. [1:28:42] » Yeah. >> Lucky for quite a while. Mhm. [1:28:45] » Steve and I went through it and I think whoever suggested that you go through [1:28:51] the building was an awesome suggestion because sitting here [1:28:56] » you just can't get in your mind. Even if I had photos, [1:29:02] » we'd like a field trip of what he's trying to study. [laughter] [1:29:05] » I think what so for your timeline like what's crucial is the roofit. [1:29:10] » What's crucial is the roof and then >> the brick is I mean would you guys want [1:29:16] do you guys want to start removing the paint on the brick? It's right side [1:29:20] windows, >> right? [1:29:21] » Windows you guys want to move on >> also with the brick. We would love for [1:29:25] the brick to look like across the street. [1:29:28] » Yeah. >> If it can't Well, we can [1:29:30] » we'll paint we'll paint it. >> We'll paint it. We should the same [1:29:33] colors we need more information about the brick [1:29:38] and the process that you're going to use. [1:29:42] » And and you mentioned a sealant. So, like we we would not you guys would not [1:29:47] be able to approve anything being done to the brick without them coming forth [1:29:51] with telling you what the process to remove the paint is and what that [1:29:55] sealant is going to be. >> We do too. Yeah, [1:29:58] » we but we have to submit this weeks ago and our discovery since submitting this [1:30:04] a lot has changed >> and so we're we're we're continually [1:30:07] learning about this turd that uh >> anyone in the market [laughter] [1:30:14] » and as we as we do as we do >> as we do we adapt and I've met with Bill [1:30:20] multiple times and and we've adapted from those meetings and and the [1:30:24] discovery points out new directions. So Yeah, [1:30:28] » another suggest >> we didn't look. [1:30:29] » Yeah, >> rather than waiting a whole another [1:30:31] month, can we get something on the calendar to like go do a site visit with [1:30:35] them? >> I would love to do that. [1:30:37] » I think that's a great idea. >> Not part of the meeting. Um [1:30:41] » because I don't want to get too far into where the weather is starting to change. [1:30:45] » That is so helpful for us to at least know that there are certain things that [1:30:49] are like a hard metal, right? >> Certain things. And then we can all do a [1:30:52] walkthrough together and you guys can point to us and one person can be [1:30:56] designated to take photos. >> Yep. [1:30:58] » I'd be happily would do it, you know, and then we can go through and document [1:31:02] everything together. >> It'd have to be a special meeting, [1:31:06] right? Because >> you have to do as a special meeting to [1:31:10] make sure that we're compliant. >> I would suggest that or appoint a [1:31:15] subcommittee to go do that. >> Okay. [1:31:18] » Okay. There's a possibility. But the other thing is if you have a [1:31:23] subcommittee, they have to report back to each one of you and or all of you [1:31:27] have to be there at the same time because you can't have uh different [1:31:32] information being presented at different times. [1:31:34] » Well, how many people on the panel have to be present? [1:31:38] » How what's the sub what's the definition of a subcommittee? [1:31:40] » Less than yeah, it's less than three people. Three people normally is a good [1:31:45] sub. That's what I was wondering. >> We will bring really good coffee. [1:31:49] [laughter] [1:31:51] snacks. >> What about the wine tasting though? [1:31:56] » Andrea, come on. All right. >> How about this? [1:32:01] » So, we need we need three three of us to go to the location. [1:32:09] » Yeah. >> Soon. And I vote that Mr. Finham is one [1:32:15] of those people because >> he's got um [1:32:18] » Thank you. >> He he has that level of expertise. The [1:32:21] the rest of us do not. Um >> Angie has volunteered to take [1:32:26] photographs and do some documentation. >> Thank you. [1:32:29] » And then um there's one additional you. >> No, I've already been in so [1:32:36] » I would I wouldn't want to go back either. [1:32:38] » Is there another volunteer? >> Do you want to go? [1:32:40] » I I can go. >> Okay. [1:32:42] » All right. Since you're in charge. >> Since I'm in charge. [laughter] [1:32:46] » I don't feel like I'm in charge, but like I'm in I'm in charge. Okay. So, [1:32:49] » I know that you guys are limiting it to a subcommittee, but is the more of you [1:32:53] that could come and >> this is the official time. [1:32:57] » You can only take less than a quorum. A quorum start meeting again. There's [1:33:03] there's regulations on why you can't. >> Well, we How about another suggestion is [1:33:06] we could divide it up into two different groups of three since Alex has already [1:33:10] gone. And >> just shoot me a shoot me a text. I'll [1:33:12] meet you there. >> We can have informal visitors, can we [1:33:17] not? We can have three there committee. >> Your back to who gets what information [1:33:22] it's true. >> Okay. [1:33:23] » So, we all got to come together at one time, [1:33:25] » right? So, >> as long as everybody that goes promises [1:33:29] not to talk to these people at all, they just walk in and look. [1:33:34] » [laughter] [1:33:37] » But conversations between the applicant and individual members [1:33:42] » is typically not allowed when you have a public meeting uh arrangement such as [1:33:48] this meeting. >> All right. So we need to have a [1:33:51] subcommittee visit >> preferably by Is everyone available on [1:33:56] the 9th? >> Yeah. [1:33:58] » Tuesday. >> Next Wednesday's birthday. [1:34:00] » Okay. Um, we don't have to have it on a Wednesday. [snorts] [1:34:04] Uh, the 10th, 9th or 10th or 10th of September. Are [1:34:09] you available? >> 100%. I [1:34:14] » cancel that trip to Europe. >> Oh jeez. [1:34:17] » I'm just kidding. You're >> kidding. Okay. [1:34:18] » I live 8 minutes away.

Okay. Perfect. [1:35:35] » So, sub commmittee members, Angie, Laura, Bill. [1:35:39] » I only have until 11:30. Is that going to be okay? [1:35:41] » Yeah, that'll be >> You won't want to be there an hour and a [1:35:43] half. >> 10:00. [laughter] [1:35:44] » You won't be in there very long. I'm going to tell I'll just [1:35:47] » we will so that is a subcommittee for this project and then we need to have [1:35:54] » another meeting about this before the next scheduled meeting or [1:35:58] » um no I think whatever you get there to each one of your members at that [1:36:05] point. >> Okay. [1:36:07] » Um before the meeting but >> but we need to at least do a motion [1:36:12] tonight for the parapit roof. >> Yes. [1:36:15] that >> I mean if that's what you want to do [1:36:18] then yes whatever whatever you're approving tonight has to come in the [1:36:21] form of a motion >> understand that um [1:36:23] » but I I think you should also make a motion to have this subcommittee meeting [1:36:28] and get the board to say yeah okay we all agree with that [1:36:31] » it's just appropriate >> a motion for the subcommittee a motion [1:36:34] for the parapet >> correct [1:36:35] » but the parapet doesn't want to move a window [1:36:37] » he that's the problem with the parapet they want to move windows [1:36:42] » so that we we have not that's a whole bag of something. [1:36:47] » Can we start Can we um can we do recline without do the parapit without approving [1:36:52] the window change >> and so so they can start their engine? [1:36:55] » Yes, he wants to put in a he wants to put in a window if he has to rebuild the [1:36:59] wall which he's contemplates he may have to do. Is that right? [1:37:03] » Can you approve the parade under the presumption that we don't move the wall [1:37:08] and then if we do have to move the wall that [1:37:12] we can do that >> and Bill, I think your preference is to [1:37:16] have more steps in it. [1:37:21] Bill, >> your preference is more steps in the [1:37:24] parapit. >> That's my [1:37:29] question about that. >> If I may, [1:37:31] » the wall that we're talking about putting windows in, there is one [1:37:36] offplaced window. Uh, but that wall is not being replaced. So, that's an [1:37:41] actually a CMU wall. it that has brick on the outside, a brick facade. Uh but [1:37:49] that's not one. Uh if you go further towards the back, those are the walls [1:37:54] that are structurally not sound. >> So all we need really need to prove [1:37:58] tonight is the steps in the front for how high that if we're going to go up [1:38:02] » just the parapit to cover the roof >> roof line. So you guys can finish off [1:38:05] the roof line without it being shown from the front facade [1:38:07] » and that. So >> so Bill has a suggestion for that. [1:38:12] My suggestion is I I don't think it should be higher because it is what it [1:38:18] is now. It steps and it ends. I think that you might introduce a step [1:38:25] or two farther back as the roof is going down. [1:38:30] Introduce a step before you get to the old part of the the old wall. [1:38:37] Um maybe after the the two windows, [1:38:43] » assuming you >> end up with the window. [1:38:46] » Yeah. So the drawing that you're looking at with the yellow line [1:38:49] » Yeah. >> that yellow line can be adjusted in any [1:38:52] any way because as long as that diagonal line that is just below it, which is the [1:38:58] new roof line, >> right? [1:39:00] » That's all we're trying to disguise. We're not trying to change the [1:39:02] aesthetic. you really however many steps that we [1:39:06] want to put in that co that >> that looks the same. We just want to [1:39:10] cover that roof that diagonal roof line. >> So Mr. Finikum something like where it [1:39:17] has a step up step up and then over a step down and then halfway back put [1:39:22] another step down. >> Yeah, exactly like that. [1:39:24] » And then you just run it all the way back across. [1:39:25] » Keep going. >> So you have the two steps in front and [1:39:28] then you're delaying the second step in the back part. the middle step or the [1:39:33] Wait. >> So, [1:39:35] » so you leave the two steps over here. >> Yeah. Oh, two. [1:39:38] » I I drew on it, but you leave the two steps here, [1:39:41] » but then you put your second down over there. Yeah. [1:39:45] Down here and carry this straight all that [1:39:51] up here when when the roof is too high. >> That is weird that you didn't [1:39:56] » farther back out. [1:40:00] It's fine. wasn't brain. >> Oh, that is weird. Oh, that is where [1:40:05] [laughter] >> Sorry. [1:40:08] » Like, yeah, it's not exist. >> I had to reorder it, but yeah. [1:40:11] » I mean, I don't blame >> basically. [1:40:14] This is the existing. >> If they don't bring it up, you can [1:40:20] almost >> Yeah. Then you can cover [1:40:23] this building's been added on to so many. [1:40:25] » Can I take a picture of what you >> when you get inside? It's almost [1:40:28] continuous. It's you're going to raise this up, but it's almost this part right [1:40:32] here stays lower. So, you come all the way back this way and then where this [1:40:37] drops down now, >> you almost you raise your roof all the [1:40:41] way across, but you're mimicking almost what you already have. [1:40:44] » You're just making that a little bit taller. You're bringing that up. [1:40:47] [laughter] [1:40:55] » But it's almost like you're mimicking what's already there. [1:40:58] So yeah, however you do that. [1:41:02] » How do we That's what they're going to do. [1:41:05] » We need to keep the original >> but raise it by [1:41:13] does that accurately represent what [1:41:18] you should [1:41:21] [laughter] a little bit of like taking away the [1:41:32] that we had to put like [1:41:45] » I just want to point out this is what it looks like right now where it does the [1:41:48] double step then it steps that steps and then you continue. So they're raising [1:41:51] all this up >> if they continue with some [1:41:55] » they continue with the steps that are there somewhat similar look in there. [1:42:00] » You're you're [clears throat] doing >> you're just carrying the two all the way [1:42:03] back. [1:42:08] » Yeah. Yeah. It's going to come up no matter. Okay. [1:42:10] » But there [clears throat] will be took the wall down. [1:42:14] » What his recommendation put it on the record. What was the [1:42:21] » picture? So, they're still popping up right there. [1:42:23] » The previous the previous owner had >> years ago there was a drive. [1:42:31] » All right. So, >> this is a state. [1:42:34] » All right. >> Let's talk about let's talk let's talk [1:42:38] about the motion we're going to make today. And the motion should be to [1:42:42] establish a subcommittee to go visit the site and uh look at u the elements that [1:42:49] are under concern consistent with the plan that's been [1:42:53] submitted so far so we can all sort of get on the same page with respect to all [1:42:58] of the work that you want to happen there. Um so that'll be number one. [1:43:02] Number two will be to approve [1:43:07] the raising of the roof consistent with the drawing submitted [1:43:15] in addition but in addition to the the parapet as Mr. Finikum has uh sketched [1:43:23] it on his um >> we'll put his piece of paper in your [1:43:27] piece of paper >> I'll take your piece of paper out there [1:43:29] and date it. >> Okay. Uh, so I'm not making the motion, [1:43:32] but someone should make >> two motions. [1:43:34] » It's It's one mo It's one motion. >> Is it one or two? Is it is it one [1:43:38] motion? >> Should it be two motion? [1:43:39] » Should be two. >> Two motions. [1:43:41] » Thanks, Bill. I'll make a motion that we create a subcommittee of three [1:43:45] individuals uh trustees Witty Nagel and Finickham to go to the um 32716 through [1:43:54] 32744 uh to review the interior to gain a [1:43:59] better understanding for the entire historic district committee to meet in [1:44:03] the foreseeable meet in the future at some point or multiple times. [1:44:07] » Okay. Do we have a second to that motion? [1:44:09] » Second. >> Okay. All in favor? [1:44:11] » I. [clears throat] >> Okay. Next motion. [1:44:14] » Uh for I'll do this one, too. For the property at uh 32716 through 32744 [1:44:22] Franklin Road facade renovations uh undated in here. um that we are going [1:44:29] to approve the raising of the parapet or uh in the front the brick work in front [1:44:37] uh to match the drawings as submitted with the application [1:44:41] except for a modification as amended and proposed by Mr. finum um on it [1:44:49] » on the south wall uh to add in where there's two steps in front and one step [1:44:55] uh behind adding an additional second step halfway along um the drawing parade [1:45:02] picture that was taken during the meeting and his booklet [1:45:08] that we're going to preserve. But along the line to preserve some of the the two [1:45:13] steps as it goes towards the back and preserve some of the the current [1:45:17] structural >> Okay. Um accepted from that approval are [1:45:20] any um window [1:45:24] or door changes. Okay. Um everyone in favor [1:45:28] » sorry. Is there a second? Sorry. Second. >> I second. [1:45:31] » Everyone in favor? >> I I [1:45:34] » thank you. >> Okay. Thank you for your patience. May I [1:45:37] make a comment about front doors that we need [1:45:42] » the um >> canopies [1:45:46] » the I have this feeling in deja vu that [1:45:52] there I used to be on the six allowance [1:45:57] for 16 years but 20 years ago. Um, and I think that that came in front of us and [1:46:03] it was they were arched awnings that were taken off and that those things put [1:46:07] off. So I think it's that particular element is [1:46:13] getting put back into place or what used to be there. [1:46:16] » I I looked at those today on the way over here and I can they definitely look [1:46:20] very much later um additions to that they're much to that front. [1:46:25] » And was was one missing? Has they always just been [1:46:28] » there? Whatever's there is there. Um, when you look at it, they're on top of [1:46:32] that brick work that is detailed that you can tell that that was not the [1:46:35] original. >> So, that's interesting. If there's [1:46:37] anyone who can find >> an older photo of this building, that [1:46:43] would be >> really helpful um to all of our [1:46:47] understanding. And um maybe Bill Lamont has one. [1:46:53] » Yeah, >> I'll look in my old Franklin book. Maybe [1:46:56] there's a picture in there. There's parade pictures throughout the years. [1:47:00] » Can I Can I ask that if you do find those, we'd love to have them as well? [1:47:04] » Sure. >> Historical society. [1:47:06] » The historical historical museum and society is a great wealth of [1:47:09] » information for the village. >> So, a good call. [1:47:12] » All right. So, thank you for your patience tonight. I [1:47:17] know we moved you to the >> um to the bottom. So, uh, I appreciate [1:47:23] that and we're trying to get you rolling on your project as quickly as we can. We [1:47:27] know you have a lot of money and time and feelings wrapped up in this whole [1:47:32] thing, even though you've got a real challenge on your hands. So, um, thank [1:47:36] you for working with us and >> No, thank you. I mean, as much help as [1:47:40] we can get for you. We look at you guys as advisors as much as [1:47:44] » critique. So, uh, >> great. [1:47:46] » Yeah. Thank Thank you. >> Mhm. We'll see you guys at 10 tomorrow. [1:47:54] Oh, shoot. >> Oh, we did not adjourn yet.

So, >> so we want to do a motion to add an old [1:48:12] business section for a Van Avery update, uh, the Carol Street windows update, and [1:48:19] then any feedback on the historical study committee stuff from council and [1:48:23] whether we and we have to start talking about uh, three the three targeted items [1:48:28] that we need to publish, right? >> And maybe we need to make a subcommittee [1:48:33] for that as well. So, >> okay. Uh is there is there a second [1:48:38] » to that motion? Everyone in favor? I >> I I Okay. Uh special meeting for these [1:48:45] people prior to the >> Are we [1:48:49] do we need to have a special meeting for these individuals [1:48:53] before? Okay. No, >> that's not all right.

[1:49:38] But maybe we should so we don't forget about it. Put it on as old business [1:49:41] because we did talk about it >> sort of off the record before. So maybe [1:49:45] it's not old business. >> Is it a modification of the motion? [1:49:48] We're never getting [1:49:53] » um should it be an item or should we just make that happen? You just make [1:49:56] » We're just going to make that happen. Okay. [1:49:58] » Say I can always email Evan and say, "Hey, can you add an item for me to have [1:50:04] some discussion items?" And that could be one of my discussion items. [1:50:07] » Perfect. [laughter] Okay, that's good. All right. Did we Did we approve the [1:50:10] motion? Yes. Okay. So, uh, no new business.
