Certificates of Appropriateness.
1. 52 South St.
52 South Street – Edward Nolan – replace front porch railings.
Edward Nolan – originally had wrought iron railings that became aged and unable to be repaired. Had replaced with wood but that has rotted over 3 years. Upkeep has not been easy. Open to suggestion for something durable. Has vinyl railings in the rear of the property.
Stephen Selvek – we have 2 certifications here. One for a temporary replacement and one for a permanent replacement. The permanent request is for black wrought iron.
General discussion of materials that can be used and their longevity.
Ed Nolan – also had some work done that damaged bushes and needs some landscaping. Would like to remove bushes and replace along the sidewalk with wrought iron fencing.
Stephen Selvek – there are various types and styles that can be used to stay within the character of the neighborhood.
Ed Nolan – can I put the railings back as shown in the pictures? Board agrees.
