Meeting Minutes
December 11, 2007
Present: Betty Lewis, Mike Deming, Judy Bryant. Staff: Steve Selvek, Alicia McKeen
Steve Selvek – as there is no quorum we will meet informally as we did last month. This will give me enough direction to issue any CA’s. We have two applications tonight for the same property at 17 Elizabeth St., Bruce Natale is the owner and he is present this evening. The first application is to replace windows in the basement.
Bruce Natale – as show in the pics 1 window is boarded over and one covered with Styrofoam. The rear basement access was boarded over and they used the windows to move in large items. The new windows will also provide light and ventilation. I am looking for limestone to replace one sill and will be repointing the walls.
Mike Deming – doesn’t see any problems with the project.
Steve Selvek – my only concern is the grills being between the glass vs. being on the exterior. Historically they would be on the exterior.
Bruce Natale – I replaced many windows last year and they all have the grills interior.
Steve Selvek – ok – the these would be in keeping with what is done already. Any objections from the Board? Then I will issue a staff approved CA. The next application is for replacement of 2 2nd story and 3 1st story windows and doors.
Bruce Natale – all other window units have been replaces but these. They will be done to match the existing. They are the five biggest and most uniquely shaped.
General discussion on window design. No objection by the Board to the project.
Bruce Natale – discusses the doors being replaced. No objection by the Board to this project.
Steve Selvek – will issue in house CA at the recommendation of those Board members present.
Discussion of Board replacement and training requirements.
Meeting ended.
