HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2007-03-01.pdf,3 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2007-03-01 | 3 | In a response to a question by Ms. Lynch, Mr. Brighton responded by saying that the pocket doors will be saved. Mr. lrons commented on the elevations and would like to have seen an existing elevation next to the new ones to compare. He expressed concern over the current stair configuration. Also, he mentioned the windows and wanted to make sure they present well from the street. Mr. Brighton responded by saying that the porch and staircase are not original. He said that the designer is trying to replace the stairs and front porch and use trim that is more consistent with the Queen Anne Style. Ms. Lynch was puzzled by the description. She was curious about the handrails and wondered where the information came from regarding the handrails and ballast. Mr. Norman Sanchez spoke on behalf of the property owner and was available for questions from the Board. He acknowledged Ms. Lynch's comments about how it was a strange remodel for 1954 and was not typically done. He stated that the goal was to make it as seamless as possible. He referred to AAPS' comments on the windows. He said that the smaller windows are meant to accentuate the bay window. They are going to try to salvage the front porch. Ms. Lynch asked about how the elevation meets the golden mean and how it meets the guidelines. Mr. Sanchez responded by saying that the lower floor has a taller ceiling than the upper floor. They wanted to maximize the height at the bottom to create a more even feel and avoid the home feeling top-heavy. Mr. Brighton added that the golden mean is associated where there is a stair where there is a high basement. It minimizes the mass created from a stair element. Mr. lrons stated that there is another house nearby that is an original two-story house. Ms. Anderson asked about why the bay wasn't continued at the study on the side. She feels it looks top-heavy. Mr. Sanchez responded by saying that it is a cantilevered bay and keeping it that way is more consistent with the home and it would require a variance because of its proximity … | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2007-03-01.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2007-03-01.pdf,4 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2007-03-01 | 4 | Mr. Dick Rutter mentioned the porch and roof slope. He passed out a post card of a house. He also presented an architecture book. He feels that in demolition situations, there should be drawings of the existing conditions to compare to the new drawings. He mentioned that dimensions are not actual size. Wood is cut smaller than it indicates. Ms. Lynch stated that the project troubles her. She said that they are taking a small house and inflating it and to her it doesn't seem right. Also, She didn't see the porch work reflected in the drawings. She concurred with the comment regarding a before and after drawing. Ms. Anderson mentioned that the issue had been brought up at previous meetings. Mr. lrons concurred that it is good to have drawings. He again mentioned the two-story near by. Ms. Anderson has no problem with the design. She looked at the neighbors and she expressed that Mr. Sanchez did a good job with the design. She had two problems; the porch details were not in the drawings. She felt it had been well presented. She would condition the project to go back to the review board to clarify the details regarding the front porch. She researched the rating of the house. AAPS indicated that the proper forms were not included in the packet. The property is an 'S' designation. Ms. Anderson asked about AAPS' comments and if they are allowed. Ms. Eliason responded by saying that AAPS can write anything they want in their letters but staff or Planning Board makes final determination on design reviews.
