1
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:23,820
Now we'll look to approve the minutes of last meeting. Do I have a motion to approve?

2
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:24,860
Motion to approve?

3
00:00:24,860 --> 00:00:26,300
And a second?

4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,500
All right.

5
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:29,020
That's good.

6
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,640
Now we only have one application for this meeting,

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,960
which is hard 2026-25, 204 Midland Avenue,

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,800
modification of side elevation openings.

9
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:42,060
Come on up and present.

10
00:00:45,010 --> 00:00:45,950
Do you guys have the packet?

11
00:00:46,570 --> 00:00:47,290
We had bags.

12
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:49,350
I thought this was all this over and over here without it.

13
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:50,390
Sure, that's right.

14
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:51,650
And...

15
00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:52,670
Oh, oh, oh.

16
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:53,210
Oh, oh.

17
00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:54,110
Okay.

18
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:01,290
So this is the little bungalow, the little brown bungalow, and that one that everybody knows.

19
00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:05,350
It was built in 1910 for the local architect.

20
00:01:05,650 --> 00:01:07,930
Very eight type of call for him, usually built.

21
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:11,110
He posted his work with actually public work.

22
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:15,090
Churches, tools, and few of the larger.

23
00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:16,970
Yes, I've used them.

24
00:01:17,230 --> 00:01:17,390
Thank you.

25
00:01:17,770 --> 00:01:18,930
Oh, you're recording.

26
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:19,370
Okay.

27
00:01:20,250 --> 00:01:23,050
I'm Gina Ventura, the architect for this project.

28
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:26,430
It's 204, Midland Avenue, the little brown bungalow

29
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:28,930
that you might know near the middle school.

30
00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:33,810
And we're looking for some modifications to the side elevation.

31
00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:36,110
Yeah.

32
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:39,030
So David, it was a David Nicarbacher boy.

33
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:43,130
He did the church on, like in the intersection of Wayne,

34
00:01:43,210 --> 00:01:43,950
the main intersection.

35
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:46,650
He did another house on Aberdeen for himself.

36
00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:53,310
bigger. He did old the old Wayne schools. He was sort of the car's trombower generation

37
00:01:53,310 --> 00:02:00,050
out of Philly. But this was kind of an unusual house for Wayne. If you know it, and it was unusual

38
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:08,650
for his portfolio. But kind of a cool quirky house. So the story of it was built in 1910.

39
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:16,470
The original front elevation is exactly as it is today, hasn't changed. The only thing that's

40
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:24,570
change to the houses. There was a rear porch that was enclosed. I don't know when. There was no records of that. So it was a while ago.

41
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:32,510
But the house looks literally exactly the same. Next door to the left is actually the new owner's daughter.

42
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:43,550
That was built in 1947. So a little later than most of the other ones. The house directly to the right of it was also built in 1910.

43
00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:46,470
And I believe this was recently approved by Harb

44
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:47,570
to enclose some windows.

45
00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:49,630
I did notice that.

46
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:53,050
So, you know, these houses change over time.

47
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:55,890
This one is directly across the street,

48
00:02:56,310 --> 00:03:01,250
built in 1908, and this is kind of an interesting one.

49
00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:05,710
I believe this was renovated probably about 13 years ago.

50
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:07,210
This is that sound right, too,

51
00:03:07,470 --> 00:03:09,070
because the owner's son was in kindergarten

52
00:03:09,070 --> 00:03:11,270
with my son, and they just graduated high school.

53
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:25,990
So, this was the original building from 1910 and then the next page is actually the renovation that they did to it, which is, you know, very different, a little more modern, but still, I think, I think beautiful, I think they did a great job.

54
00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:34,150
I don't know if you can tell from here, but they have a really cool hanging late fixture above the front door that's gas, kind of flickers, which is neat.

55
00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:41,950
So, here is our front elevation of Midland, super, super unusual with this arched window

56
00:03:41,950 --> 00:03:46,250
completely smushed next to the two double hungs with shutters that are totally

57
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:49,390
the wrong size, but it's all original, believe it or not.

58
00:03:50,290 --> 00:03:56,630
I have the floor plan for later, but it was a two bedroom bungalow with an enclosed staircase.

59
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:59,010
The second floor was only for storage.

60
00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:03,850
no, right now there's three bedrooms up there in a bathroom must have happened over time but

61
00:04:03,850 --> 00:04:10,030
it was just a little bungalow and when we look at the floor plan, it actually had an outhouse

62
00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:16,690
also and an out kitchen adjacent to the regular kitchen. So it kind of an unusual floor plan.

63
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:23,610
In an article I found that so the two double hung windows are actually in the kitchen and it was

64
00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:28,610
kind of unusual in homes to put the kitchen towards the front of the house. They were more

65
00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:31,930
towards the back, but in this funny, the article said,

66
00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:34,150
you know, this was a main thoroughfare.

67
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:36,910
I guess Midland was like some kind of straight back then.

68
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:39,350
And there was a big view out the back,

69
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:40,970
because none of these houses were here.

70
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,990
So it was kind of kind of a cool plan.

71
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:46,490
And it hadn't been changed to this day.

72
00:04:46,770 --> 00:04:48,010
It was the family.

73
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:49,630
It was built for it.

74
00:04:49,630 --> 00:04:53,610
It was the same family until this football at it

75
00:04:53,610 --> 00:04:55,990
when they closed and June or July.

76
00:04:56,970 --> 00:04:58,930
So here's the side elevation.

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:13,020
You can see sort of the bottom floor, if we go way left, you can kind of see the porch that's kind of coming out that's enclosed with very ugly vinyl windows that was done a long time ago.

78
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,040
The sort of triple window is in the current dining room, with a pretty low sill.

79
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:28,840
The next window is in a pantry, and then there's sort of this entry sequence behind those boxes right here is actually a very small outhouse door.

80
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:35,200
It might be 24 inches wide and then sort of a larger side light and door to the out kitchen.

81
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:43,280
We're changing the floor pan to plan around a bit to relocate the kitchen where this window is.

82
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,560
So it's a little low and we have no wall so we're looking to raise it.

83
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:54,200
So we're just looking to do something very simple, very bungalow style, just double hungs.

84
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,960
This window here is about 29 inches wide.

85
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,800
I'd like to repeat it here, and I'd like to double it here or make it a little bigger.

86
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:10,440
The appliances haven't been selected, so it literally will depend on, you know, a fridge and their range.

87
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,140
Which both I think will be standard size, so you know, we'll just need enough room for that and some trim.

88
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:24,180
The trim details inside are quite big, and we're going to keep those trim details, so the windows will be as big as they can.

89
00:06:24,180 --> 00:06:27,100
but it's sort of real simple, bungalow style.

90
00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:31,340
We were going to sort of just let the front be kind of interesting.

91
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,900
And we keep the side pretty basic and functional.

92
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,080
Here's the floor plan, which was kind of cool.

93
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:41,980
Kind of tricky to see, but this is the porch.

94
00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:44,040
This is the out kitchen.

95
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,460
If you can see that, that's actually an outhouse.

96
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:48,760
The dining room.

97
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:52,700
And then here's the kitchen, sort of facing the street.

98
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:57,820
There wasn't a driveway here, so this has been modified over time, those like big fences.

99
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,760
And then this is a, I didn't realize how bad this scan was.

100
00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:07,420
So I did not think you care about the inside, but I'm going to show you anyway.

101
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:11,260
So this is sort of the new floor plan.

102
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,020
And if you can see, we have the mudroom here with the window.

103
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:18,780
And this is really, we're trying to open everything up for,

104
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:24,900
I'd have the primary bedroom on the first floor as the new client is she's in her late 70s.

105
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,920
So we want to we want to make things accessible with wide hallways a little bit bigger doors.

106
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:34,200
And so this was sort of the most logical spot for the kitchen.

107
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,740
And like I said, we're really tight with a fridge and a range here.

108
00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:43,990
So as soon as they pick those, we'll have the windows be as big as they can be.

109
00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:46,950
Yep.

110
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,340
This is the front right here. Yep. So these are these those two windows and then

111
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:56,300
this is the side.

112
00:08:00,770 --> 00:08:00,890
Yep.

113
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:07,190
I'm not changing the front. Nothing on the front. No. Nope. The front

114
00:08:07,190 --> 00:08:09,710
will stay exactly the same and that's the side.

115
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:12,380
Yep.

116
00:08:25,410 --> 00:08:26,570
Or the side. Yep. East.

117
00:08:36,930 --> 00:08:37,610
Looks good. It was hard

118
00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:40,910
to see what the dumpster there. Yeah. Yeah.

119
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240
I think it's really great. It really goes with

120
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,500
house, everything you're doing. My only common is I know on that proposed

121
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:05,300
elevation where you have the kitchen windows with the shutters. I imagine

122
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:11,980
you're doing shutters everywhere because so matches. But on those windows a

123
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:16,100
big one that you were talking about the shutters just look a little bit funky

124
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:20,400
because they look out of scale with the actual size of the window. Like if you would

125
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,580
close them which you probably won't close these shutters are just decorative. It's not

126
00:09:25,580 --> 00:09:27,360
I'm going to close the whole window.

127
00:09:28,420 --> 00:09:33,040
So I agree, but out front, I just sort of didn't answer anything.

128
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,720
And they're even worse, but they're original.

129
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:38,660
OK, so that's why I was like, they clearly don't shut here.

130
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:40,620
I mean, I could go either way, shutters are.

131
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,160
I typically agree, and I never do them unless they actually

132
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,560
close.

133
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,100
But I was like, this front elevation is so interesting.

134
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:50,620
So I said, you know what, if you did it out front,

135
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,600
I can do it on the side.

136
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,220
But it's, you know, we can, you know,

137
00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:58,200
They are expensive, those are timberly and historic lines.

138
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,840
So I agree with you.

139
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,360
I typically never do that, but I did, in this case, I just wanted to throw it out, I 100% agree with

140
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,000
it, but I do look great. Yeah, it's, I mean, I'm the Bill Coddorstein.

141
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,260
Bill Coddor is going to say, whether we paint it white, I'm not sure. The basements completely

142
00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:23,580
unfinished, still stand finished, but I think in terms of access for, you know, any work

143
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:27,180
that needs to be done now there, we'll keep it.

144
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,460
Yeah, so there was quite a bit of landscaping.

145
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:39,540
There's, you know it, it's like the Brown House, I'm in the, there was a ton of landscaping,

146
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,120
overgrown, that is, it's now down, it's actually very pretty,

147
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:49,440
not at this time, no.

148
00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:56,750
Sorry, no, my mic on that whole time. I just had this. Did you say the architect was Boyd?

149
00:10:57,110 --> 00:11:00,930
Boyd. Okay. Yeah, Nick, David, Nick or Bakker Boyd.

150
00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:04,410
He's the architect of my house. He is, yeah, that's really cool.

151
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:07,170
Okay, okay, because you're in North Wayne, right?

152
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:11,070
Yeah, so he did a few in South Wayne and then a lot.

153
00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:13,910
And I actually was at, I went to the historical museum

154
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:16,670
and sat with the sky for probably too long,

155
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:20,410
but his whole, wasn't really a sketchbook.

156
00:11:20,530 --> 00:11:23,070
It was more like just a book of his clippings.

157
00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:24,850
He did a lot in like,

158
00:11:26,130 --> 00:11:29,090
Ardmore, Brimmar, and then a lot of...

159
00:11:29,090 --> 00:11:30,630
A lot of libraries and schools.

160
00:11:30,770 --> 00:11:32,590
He did wherever, so we're Wayne Elementary

161
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:37,770
was or where Wayne middle school is. That's where all the Wayne schools were at one time and he did some of those.

162
00:11:39,330 --> 00:11:45,090
