[3:30] Great, now we can begin. We can
[3:38] start right now. Beautiful. Hello,
[3:42] everyone. This is the
[3:44] regularly scheduled meeting of the Syracuse
[3:46] Landmarks Preservation Board,
[3:48] and today is September 17,
[3:50] 2026. Present at today's meeting
[3:52] are
[3:53] Nicole Freginato,
[3:54] Kyle Gregory,
[3:55] Jeff Romano,
[3:57] Hillary Donahue,
[3:58] Samuel Prescott,
[4:00] and Kate Alwider.
[4:02] Excuse me,
[4:03] Howard, and
[4:05] we're waiting for Pat. Yes.
[4:06] Okay, thank you. Can I have a
[4:09] motion to accept the minutes of
[4:10] August 27th?
[4:12] I will make a motion to accept the
[4:13] minutes. Do
[4:14] I have someone to back her up? I
[4:15] second that.
[4:17] Any changes or modifications to those
[4:18] minutes? There is no audience. All in favor,
[4:23] according to what was presented. Against?
[4:26] Abstaining? The motion is approved.
[4:30] Public hearings, excuse me. The
[4:33] board will now conduct
[4:34] public hearings on
[4:35] today's agenda. First, the
[4:38] applicant or the applicant's representative will be invited
[4:39] to describe the scope of the
[4:41] project work and submit
[4:42] any materials and documentation
[4:44] related to the proposal to the board
[4:46] . Next, those who
[4:48] wish to speak in favor of the proposal
[4:50] will have the opportunity to address
[4:51] the board. Then, those who
[4:54] wish to speak out against it may
[4:56] address the board. Finally, the
[4:59] applicant or representative will have the
[5:01] opportunity to make
[5:02] final comments to the board. Following the
[5:05] public comments, the board
[5:06] may vote to approve, approve with
[5:08] conditions, or deny the request that has
[5:10] just been heard. The board
[5:12] may also decide to uphold its decision
[5:14] until the next public hearing.
[5:16] If the hearing is closed, no
[5:19] additional information will be allowed to be recorded in the minutes, except for that which
[5:21] the board may request. That
[5:23] information will be available for
[5:25] public review with
[5:27] board staff. Staff, submit our
[5:29] first application.
[5:30] That would be me. Very good. The first
[5:34] application is CA-26-19. It is a
[5:37] certificate of suitability for 120
[5:39] Dorset Road. It's for
[5:43] garage repairs and new doors. Actually, it's
[5:46] more of a
[5:48] garage reconstruction and some new doors. The
[5:51] property is located in the
[5:53] Berkeley Park Preservation District. And
[5:56] we have Tom DiTullio here to
[5:58] speak on behalf of the project.
[6:00] Good morning. Good morning, board of
[6:01] directors. How are you today?
[6:02] Brilliant. Thank you.
[6:03] Okay, can I bring you something to wear when you're
[6:04] introducing yourselves?
[6:05] Clear. I'm Tom DiTullio. Tom Thomas J.
[6:07] DiTullio Architects, 237 Woody Ave,
[6:09] Syracuse, New York.
[6:11] Thank you, sir.
[6:11] A few of these every now and then,
[6:13] so... Actually, it became,
[6:15] as Kate said, more of a
[6:16] rebuild than a simple
[6:18] repair. Once we went inside and
[6:20] started inspecting, the walls
[6:21] are basically brand new walls, brand
[6:23] new concrete walls, brand
[6:24] new concrete block walls, which are
[6:26] different from the ones the house already has. On
[6:29] three sides of it. And we have
[6:32] excessive deterioration and faults such as
[6:35] bowing, cracks and some
[6:37] excessive deterioration around both
[6:41] sides. So, we're going to have to
[6:44] dig around there. The only problem is
[6:46] that we have a rear easement
[6:47] where the power lines run through
[6:49] the back of Dorset, right here
[6:50] on the hill. Therefore, we cannot
[6:52] reinstall electrical equipment
[6:53] there or near the neighbors. Well, we'll have to do a
[6:55] lot of digging by hand and use
[6:56] small machinery. To keep the
[6:58] cost down and prevent the poor man from
[7:00] paying $100,000 for a garage, we're
[7:03] trying to do everything we can.
[7:05] One of the things we are considering
[7:06] to save costs is the
[7:08] tilting door. We thought about ordering a
[7:10] wooden tilt-up door, and we can
[7:12] get them, but they take between 180
[7:13] and 200 days. So waiting that
[7:16] long, leaving us in winter and doing
[7:18] all the concrete work
[7:20] outside, would be a bit costly and
[7:21] inefficient. It would probably cost
[7:24] twice as much as the concrete work,
[7:26] having to heat and maintain it. That's
[7:29] one of the fears we have.
[7:30] Apart from that, everything will go back to
[7:32] exactly as it is now. I
[7:34] showed her photographs with salt water,
[7:36] and she has all the photographs of
[7:38] what's there now. The
[7:42] interior front of the garage and the
[7:44] main entrance beam have failed so
[7:47] drastically that the door is
[7:49] rotting halfway through. Okay, I'm
[7:52] going to look at the photos. Yes of
[7:55] course. As you can see, we don't want
[7:57] the failure to compromise the
[7:59] roof system and structure. So,
[8:02] with that in mind, it's a bit
[8:05] difficult to find cost savings to
[8:07] do something, but currently, one of
[8:12] the things we can offer would be to
[8:14] replace the doors with a
[8:15] metal door that looks the same. And it looks like
[8:18] the house, the garage, was built in the
[8:21] 1930s, 1940s compared
[8:24] to the house in that neighborhood, which is
[8:26] from the 1880s. So, this
[8:29] is during the pre-war, post-war,
[8:32] World War II era. Well, I think it
[8:35] was an addition. And as you can see,
[8:38] there are large old cracks all over the place
[8:42] , so we don't want to lose the
[8:45] garage and we don't want you to have to
[8:47] spend a lot of money on this
[8:49] garage. Everything is going to be ridiculously
[8:55] expensive, so that's something we're asking for:
[8:58] an exemption to use an
[9:03] insulated metal door instead of ordering
[9:05] a wooden door.
[9:15] If you want to go back to the inspection,
[9:16] Kate, go down a little. It should show the
[9:19] easement on the back.
[9:21] It should show the
[9:22] limited easement. It's quite close to where
[9:24] the garage is. And there's
[9:25] quite a steep slope going up.
[9:28] Therefore, we want to try to avoid that
[9:31] . Does
[9:33] the easement run down the side or
[9:34] is it at the back? It runs right along
[9:36] the back of the building. If
[9:39] you look at some of the photographs,
[9:40] you can see that the power lines
[9:42] run down the back of the
[9:43] property line there.
[9:45] This...? Excuse me, is the easement
[9:46] indicated in...?
[9:47] Yes, we have power lines
[9:49] crossing the bottom. You can look at the
[9:51] right side of the inspection and then,
[9:54] okay.
[9:54] Towards the bottom, where they
[9:56] pass. And because it's a very
[10:03] steep slope, you know, you want to excavate
[10:05] a platform so the equipment can
[10:07] work properly and then...
[10:11] But you know, there's no way to get in
[10:13] there and work efficiently with
[10:14] larger equipment.
[10:18] Let's go back to...Here we go. Okay.
[10:26] since this is a
[10:28] public hearing, I need to ask if there is
[10:30] anyone here who would like to speak in favor
[10:32] of this project. I haven't heard or seen
[10:36] anyone, is there anyone here who wants to
[10:38] speak out against this project? Let him show
[10:40] up. I haven't heard or seen
[10:42] anyone. I request that the
[10:46] public hearing be closed.
[10:48] Audience comments.
[10:49] Excuse me, the public hearing is now closed
[10:50] . Board comments,
[10:53] questions about this project?
[10:59] One question I have is: what type
[11:01] of material do you plan to use to repair
[11:04] the stucco? Do you plan to repair it with the
[11:07] same cementitious base?
[11:09] Well, the stucco there has a
[11:11] much higher cement content than
[11:12] what we can buy on the market.
[11:14] We're going to use it. It provides
[11:16] much better waterproofing. One of the
[11:18] little tricks that
[11:20] old historical bricks have is that they
[11:22] usually have a high lime content and
[11:24] all their mortars because it gives them
[11:26] impermeability. And the mortar
[11:28] you buy now at S&M is a bit
[11:29] lower than that and tends to cut the
[11:31] brick anyway. So
[11:33] when you make stucco with this, you would use
[11:35] the higher lime content because
[11:37] you want a more waterproof one. And it will be
[11:39] sprayed to obtain the same stucco.
[11:41] Okay, we'll keep the same texture.
[11:43] Yes, we want to maintain exactly the
[11:45] same texture and it will be painted the same
[11:47] color as it is now.
[11:49] That was my main concern.
[11:56] My only comment about the slope
[11:58] . You feel that this small swelling
[12:01] right against the building is enough,
[12:03] or things should probably be
[12:04] moved.
[12:05] Well, what we're going to do is put
[12:07] some large green tiles behind
[12:08] the back when we create the
[12:10] slope, and some stone beds
[12:11] so we can drain the water and let it
[12:13] drain naturally towards the
[12:14] entrance area.
[12:16] Yes, I hate to see all the work done and then
[12:19] the problem repeats itself.
[12:21] In 3 more years, yes. Are
[12:24] you going to put a bookshelf back there
[12:26] Yes, we'll put a bookshelf back there
[12:27] You will make a bookshelf to work on.
[12:31] Okay, it will be 3 or 4 feet
[12:32] deep and then we'll dig
[12:34] deeper and put in some larger stones
[12:36] for drainage. It
[12:38] will also work with the garden. They
[12:40] have a garden back there.
[12:41] Okay, so you'll divert it. You'll
[12:43] divert it around.
[12:44] Okay.
[12:45] And you will move it away from the structure. It will be
[12:48] a complete excavation of that
[12:50] back wall, right?
[12:51] Yes, we will have to get down to the
[12:52] foundations and verify that they are not
[12:54] compromised or faulty.
[12:55] Yes, okay.
[12:56] And then repair it if necessary.
[12:58] Okay. There's a
[12:59] lot I can't see. I don't know from the
[13:00] inside with 3 feet of snow and dirt
[13:02] against it, so.
[13:05] Okay. Any comments about the
[13:07] door?
[13:13] It is partially hidden from the
[13:14] street.
[13:15] Yes.
[13:15] Um, it's visible, but not directly on
[13:18] the street.
[13:20] Mhm. Well,
[13:23] yes, there is an elevation change of
[13:24] about 9 feet from the street side
[13:25] to where the garage is.
[13:27] Therefore, it's really difficult to see anything
[13:29] other than the crest of the garage from the
[13:30] street.
[13:31] Correct. So, we have a
[13:33] raised panel.
[13:35] Okay, let's try to imitate the door
[13:38] The existing one is flat.
[13:39] Is the existing one a flat panel?
[13:41] It looks like a flat panel. Yes.
[13:45] Can they go to
[13:46] the image of the existing one
[13:47] towards the end?
[13:49] Yes, there's the proposal with the
[13:51] raised panel.
[13:52] And then,
[13:53] if we look at the existing one, it's a
[13:55] flat panel. Did they explore the possibility of
[13:58] looking at a flatter panel in the...?
[14:00] Unfortunately, all they have are
[14:03] raised panel designs. These days everyone
[14:11] wants more elegant things, so
[14:14] yes, but now we're, you know,
[14:17] changing the material and that, and also
[14:20] changing the design, or what the
[14:25] board of directors thinks about it. Does anyone
[14:28] want to comment on this
[14:29] ? If we can get a
[14:32] flat panel, I don't know if it's possible.
[14:34] Yes, I don't know if we can get one.
[14:37] I will ask them beforehand to order the
[14:39] flat panel instead of the raised panel.
[14:42] And it's a big change in character.
[14:44] Yes.
[14:44] I'm
[14:49] trying to see if the aluminum door
[14:51] itself doesn't have wood grain,
[14:52] right? It's just flat steel.
[14:56] But we can make the
[14:57] wood grain a part of it. I
[14:58] 'm not asking, I don't think we want to
[15:00] . I
[15:00] 'm not asking for that. I'm just making
[15:02] sure it's not there.
[15:03] Without wood grain.
[15:04] Okay.
[15:05] Without wood grain. Yes.
[15:07] Well, we're trying to meet
[15:09] the board's expectations, so
[15:11] ... Well, we don't want to counterfeit the
[15:12] product, do we? Therefore,
[15:14] engraving wood grain on an
[15:16] aluminum panel is counterfeiting it from the
[15:18] board's perspective in terms of
[15:20] historical standards.
[15:22] That's not what my wife thinks about
[15:23] our garage door.
[15:25] So, if it's a smooth panel or
[15:27] smooth metallic aluminum, if it's possible
[15:30] for us to put a flat panel on it,
[15:32] I think that would be my request. And if
[15:35] the board agrees with that.
[15:36] Clear. Yes.
[15:37] Well, I'll check with the manufacturer to see if they
[15:39] make smooth panels. Will you
[15:41] say that again?
[15:41] I will check with the manufacturer to see if they make
[15:42] a door with a smooth panel.
[15:44] Yes, smooth, smooth, flat panel, not without
[15:47] relief, with a smooth finish. Any
[15:51] other comments? We need to consider
[15:54] whether to approve, disapprove, or approve with
[15:56] conditions. Are
[15:57] you going to do anything about the roof? I didn't see
[15:59] any.
[16:00] No, luckily the roof is in
[16:01] pretty good condition, and that's why
[16:03] we want to shore it up and do all the
[16:04] work we can before
[16:06] winter arrives and snow loads start to build up
[16:08] when we try to support it with
[16:10] temporary shoring and supports.
[16:14] Okay.
[16:20] Roof, soffit, all that
[16:21] existing work remains. And the front wall
[16:27] is rebuilt exactly as it was.
[16:29] The front wall will be rebuilt exactly as is,
[16:31] with wider molding panels that
[16:32] match the
[16:34] surrounding molding.
[16:35] Is the size of the door panel the
[16:36] same as the size of the
[16:37] existing openings? The
[16:38] same as the
[16:39] existing openings, yes. Right now they are a
[16:40] 9 x 7 foot door. So, it's either that one or
[16:43] 8 x 7. It's one of the two
[16:45] standard sizes.
[16:48] That door looks about 30 years old.
[16:53] So, it's not actually that old,
[16:55] but it's very deteriorated. Would there be
[16:57] any document?
[17:04] This is a later neighborhood designation
[17:06] . I don't know
[17:07] . Is the only documentation we
[17:09] have
[17:10] from 2017?
[17:11] Yes.
[17:12] When the district was like that
[17:13] , in the early
[17:15] 2000s. The photos would be from the
[17:17] early 2000s, I think.
[17:20] And that would include that or...Okay, I just
[17:22] want...
[17:24] Yes, and in fact I think the only
[17:26] images we have are of the house
[17:28] itself and not of the secondary structures
[17:31] So, are we really that worried if it's
[17:32] a 30-year-old door? I
[17:36] mean, does it look like
[17:37] a 30-year-old door?
[17:38] To me it looks like the door of a house where I
[17:40] grew up. The house was built around
[17:42] the same time I was born. So yes
[17:45] , okay.
[17:47] You know, this one looks...Yeah, this one looks like
[17:51] Newark.
[17:53] Okay. OK. If there are any further questions
[17:56] , may I put a motion on the
[17:57] table, please? I
[17:59] move to approve the
[18:00] application as submitted. I
[18:03] second that.
[18:04] Any comments or additions on
[18:06] this? OK. We have a
[18:10] motion on the table. Is everyone in favor?
[18:12] Yes.
[18:13] Against? The motion is approved.
[18:16] Thank you so much, guys. Good luck with the
[18:18] project.
[18:25] Thank you. We don't want that to happen.
[18:26] Thank you so much.
[18:31] Okay, I think it's my turn again. It's
[18:34] garage day.
[18:35] So yes, it's garage day. The
[18:38] next request is CA-26-20.
[18:42] Again, a certificate of suitability for
[18:44] 301 Highland Avenue. It is also a
[18:47] garage door replacement. Well,
[18:50] it's a garage door replacement. The
[18:53] district is the
[18:55] Sedgwick Highland Preservation District and the
[18:58] owner is here to talk
[19:00] about his project.
[19:03] Good morning. My name is Dan Stevens
[19:06] and I am one of the
[19:08] property owners.
[19:09] Welcome.
[19:11] Thank you.
[19:14] So, if you could
[19:15] quickly describe what your
[19:17] project is about and the reasons why at this time
[19:19] ...
[19:20] Sure. As you can see, the garage is
[19:26] separate from the residence. The garage
[19:31] itself is on Oak Street. I think it's roughly
[19:35] the sixth block of Oak
[19:38] Street. And the garage, I think the
[19:42] residence was built in 1901. I think
[19:46] the garage is about 20 years
[19:49] younger, but almost from the same period. In
[19:54] fact, there is one...you can't see it very
[19:56] well in the photograph, but there is a
[19:59] fireplace on the back wall inside the
[20:01] garage, which I believe was used to
[20:04] keep the vehicles warm
[20:06] while they were stored over the
[20:08] winter. So it's no longer in
[20:11] operation. It's just a kind of
[20:13] picturesque architectural relic.
[20:18] The doors have been in the snow and
[20:21] ice for a century and over time
[20:26] that has caused the
[20:29] lower door panels to
[20:32] gradually deteriorate despite
[20:35] painting and some restoration.
[20:43] Finally, the door, the
[20:47] right-hand door, had... There was a
[20:57] metal plate that was embedded in a
[21:00] wooden panel at the bottom of the
[21:03] door, and the chain and pulley system
[21:06] that raised the door was connected
[21:13] to that plate. The plaque, due to the
[21:15] deterioration of the surrounding wood,
[21:18] simply separated from the wood.
[21:23] Now there's a hole in the door. And
[21:26] I called three different
[21:29] door restoration companies to
[21:32] come and look at it. The three of them told me
[21:36] that it couldn't be repaired again. And they
[21:41] all recommended replacing the door
[21:46] with composite steel, which is the most
[21:49] modern thing in 2026, as far as I understand
[21:54] . To be able to do so, for two reasons. I
[22:02] have decided to request the repair of
[22:04] both doors, even though the
[22:06] left door still works. It's within
[22:11] the same timeframe. Over time, it will also
[22:15] fail for the same reasons of
[22:17] snow and ice. And I want them to look the
[22:20] same. I don't want one to turn
[22:22] one way and the other another.
[22:25] Additionally, the garage doors
[22:30] cannot be locked at this time
[22:33] . And if someone enters the garage...
[22:44] Both cars that were stored
[22:47] there were broken into last year. That's why
[22:51] I'm interested in ensuring that, as part of
[22:53] this project, we can also close
[22:56] the door so that no one but me
[22:59] can enter. I'll be happy to
[23:05] answer any questions.
[23:08] Thank you. Well, this is a
[23:11] public hearing, so I need to ask
[23:13] if there is anyone here in the audience
[23:14] who would like to speak in favor of this
[23:15] project. Nobody here. Does anyone want to
[23:20] speak out against this project?
[23:22] Nobody here. Then we can close
[23:25] the public comment. Board, any
[23:30] questions for the applicant? Any
[23:32] comments? May I
[23:37] speak for just a second? It
[23:40] 's on the table.
[23:41] In fact, I can give you this. This is a
[23:46] little more information about the...
[23:53] Thank you.
[24:00] So they're cut off. That, uh, uh,
[24:02] Mr. Stevens and I had
[24:05] also talked about all the different
[24:08] window arrangements, and, uh, this
[24:12] was the window arrangement he
[24:15] included in his application, uh, and, uh, there are
[24:19] also simpler ones
[24:22] available; But we had,
[24:26] uh, as you can see, uh, they are some that
[24:30] perhaps look a little more like what we have
[24:32] now.
[24:33] Yes. Did
[24:37] you consider making two
[24:41] window panels that replicate what's there
[24:43] now? Did you consider that option?
[24:49] I wanted to discourage people from looking out of
[24:52] the windows. There's really no
[24:56] point in having windows. The cars
[24:58] live there. They don't look out the window.
[25:03] That is an existing window. You can
[25:05] see that he is, uh, I guess at my
[25:07] height. Then, someone on the street
[25:10] can come in and look and see what's
[25:12] there. The higher windows seem to
[25:19] discourage that, and people just
[25:22] walk right past, which is what I want them to
[25:25] do.
[25:26] So, I had the same question,
[25:28] but I was wondering, and I understand the
[25:29] concern about security, of
[25:31] course. But would they be open to
[25:34] adding lower-level windows and
[25:36] putting a privacy film on
[25:37] both? Therefore, you would still
[25:40] maintain the overall appearance and
[25:41] proportion of the glazing, but
[25:43] no one would be able to see inside.
[25:45] Therefore, the privacy film would
[25:46] also add an extra layer
[25:48] of durability against the possibility of
[25:52] people breaking the glass or something
[25:53] like that. Therefore, it wouldn't be the same as
[25:56] the steel panel, but you would retain
[25:57] the look, the overall proportion of the
[25:59] glazing, and prevent
[26:01] people from seeing inside for a
[26:02] minimal additional cost.
[26:06] Yes, I'm open to that, definitely. In
[26:18] the last 5 years, there have been two
[26:21] incidents where people came and
[26:24] broke the windows of two cars.
[26:28] Yes. I thought this provision was
[26:35] more likely to discourage that. That's why I
[26:39] prefer it, but it's not the hill where I
[26:42] want to die.
[26:47] Well, what we're talking about in
[26:48] this case is maintaining the
[26:50] visual character of the garage.
[26:52] Yes. That's why
[26:53] having the double row of lights
[26:54] was always there. It let the
[26:56] light in. You can, you know, there are other
[26:58] windows in the garage, but it presents
[27:00] a more street-friendly facade
[27:02] and your garage is a couple of
[27:05] feet from the sidewalk. It is very pronounced. And
[27:08] I'd like you to include a picture of
[27:11] the house with the garage too, because it's
[27:13] a striking combination, I think. The
[27:15] house. The house is great. But just to
[27:20] show the character that was included,
[27:22] even though the garage is 20 years
[27:25] younger, I think it
[27:26] charismatically connects the house and you're on
[27:29] the edge of the district. And so, for
[27:32] me, it's very important to maintain those
[27:34] characteristics even though we're on the edge
[27:36] because once we start to lose
[27:38] that pedestrian scale or that
[27:39] fenestration pattern, we start to degrade the
[27:41] edge of the district's edge. You don't know what
[27:44] I mean. Do you understand what I'm
[27:45] saying?
[27:46] Well, this is true. I suppose if
[27:50] you think of the Sedgwick district as if it
[27:53] were the Monopoly board, this
[27:55] is Baltic Avenue. And it really is.
[28:00] It's just around the corner from
[28:03] Highland Ave. It's on your way to
[28:05] Oak Street. So, it's not the area we
[28:08] 're looking at, it's not what people
[28:12] think of as the classic
[28:15] Sedgwick district. Across the street, across
[28:20] Oak Street, there is a 217 Highland
[28:24] Avenue. It's empty and has been
[28:29] for almost 10 years.
[28:32] Yes.
[28:33] Anyway, nobody is looking at that
[28:36] property. The house adjacent to 217
[28:42] Highland Avenue, 215 Highland Avenue
[28:45] , is also unoccupied. Nobody lives
[28:50] there either. It's been empty for a while.
[28:57] If you continue down Highland Avenue or
[29:01] Oak Street, sorry. The next
[29:05] building is another garage. And next door is what
[29:09] used to be a
[29:15] photography shop.
[29:17] That's closed too. So, there's
[29:20] not much there. It's not Old
[29:22] Sturbridge Village. Nobody comes to
[29:24] walk around and look at these properties. It's
[29:27] just a building where
[29:30] cars live. And I'm trying to keep
[29:33] the cars protected.
[29:34] Understood. But are you open to a
[29:38] film that, as Cal mentioned,
[29:40] would be a privacy film for
[29:42] that?
[29:43] Yes, I am.
[29:45] Okay, I think that's a
[29:46] really good comment, a
[29:47] really good solution. Any other
[29:51] board members who would like to
[29:52] comment? And then we have to
[29:56] draft a motion here. And then
[30:04] do we make single-row windows that are
[30:06] simplified, more like the
[30:07] Stockbridge model?
[30:08] Yes, I guess I don't know. I
[30:10] agree with a row of windows.
[30:12] I would prefer the Stockbridge model.
[30:15] I appreciate the additional set of
[30:17] vertical lines on the doors. You
[30:19] know, it's not just the standard.
[30:21] Yes, the appearance of the large blackboard is
[30:22] ...
[30:22] Yes, complementary to what's there. It's
[30:24] a good catch.
[30:26] Yes.
[30:32] No further comments?
[30:33] Was that a motion or...?
[30:34] No, any other comments?
[30:37] May I make
[30:38] any further comments? Go ahead, but
[30:39] if there is a motion, please
[30:41] introduce it.
[30:44] I propose approving the project as
[30:46] presented, with a change from
[30:48] Prairie windows to
[30:50] Stockbridge windows for the top row of windows
[30:57] Okay, we have a motion. Do we have
[30:59] someone to support her?
[31:06] I suppose I'd like to see the
[31:07] small additional glazing.
[31:08] Okay, we could... We can...
[31:11] amend that.
[31:14] Yes.
[31:15] Okay.
[31:16] Or if there is no one to second it,
[31:18] then that motion fails. And
[31:20] then a new
[31:22] motion can be made. OK.
[31:23] If we don't have anyone to
[31:26] second it, that motion will fail.
[31:29] OK. Please, let's put a new
[31:31] motion on the table.
[31:34] I propose accepting the request as
[31:36] presented, with the modification that
[31:37] we keep the windows in the
[31:39] second row, but with the
[31:40] vertical mullions. And a
[31:47] privacy film to discourage people from
[31:50] looking. Do
[31:51] we have anyone who supports that motion
[31:53] that's on the table?
[31:55] Support.
[31:56] Any discussion or
[31:58] modifications regarding this? No one is
[32:03] in favor of the motion.
[32:09] I.
[32:10] Against? The motion is approved.
[32:13] Thank you so much. Thank you.
[32:15] Any questions? They can
[32:17] contact Kate. It's very simple.
[32:24] If you have any questions,
[32:30] that's fine. Okay
[32:30] , thank you very much. Thank you so much.
[32:32] Thank you.
[32:33] Great. Keep it up.
[32:34] Thank you. I have nothing more for
[32:41] you today. So, there are no new
[32:46] issues or any particular topics for discussion
[32:47] at this time. Well,
[32:55] unless someone else has something. No.
[32:58] It's fine.
[32:59] Good motion to adjourn the session.
[33:02] Support. Is everyone in favor?
[33:05] Yes. The
[33:06] motion is approved.
[33:08] Very good.
[33:10] job.
