NEW BUSINESS
1) A motion to approve the Kerrigan application for Certificate of Appropriateness as presented with a final review requested of the materials when the design details are finalized was made by Edwina Futtner, seconded by Peter Jennings, and approved unanimously. Some Commissioners expressed concern about the height of the “knock-out” for the gas fireplace on the North elevation of the addition. They requested that the owners explore the possibility of continuing the “knock-out” to the roof line, or eliminating the “knock-out” and placing the fireplace wholly in the interior space. It was felt that either option would present a more appropriate and cleaner exterior appearance.
