PlanningBoard | 2016-07-25 | 10 | Board Member Köster asked if there was a materials palette. Staff passed the materials board around the dais. Board Member Köster said using the historic building would be a nice addition to the site. He said he would like to see a transom window all the way across. He wondered why the building had such a high parapet and would be in favor of lowering it a little bit. Board Member Burton said the cornice should either be solid or the piece of the wall where the trellis comes in becomes stucco. He said continuing the transom window makes sense. He said making sure the siding is smooth is important. He said preserving and moving the train building would be very good. Board Member Sullivan said she would love to preserve the train station building in a public place where many people could enjoy it. She supported continuing the transom windows and doing something more with the open trellis. President Knox White agreed that moving the historic building to a public place in town would be preferable. He said the backyard location would be the last resort. Staff Member Thomas suggested bringing two cornice options back on the consent calendar with a staff recommendation. Staff Member Tai summarized the conditions to be considered: bring the cornice design back; continue the mullion on the first floor windows creating a transom; smooth horizontal siding; window details; relocating the train station. Board Member Sullivan asked whether the bulkhead should be solid. Board Member Sullivan made a motion to approve the building design with the listed conditions by Staff Member Tai above. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
