OLD BUSINESS:
- Discussed various turn-around options for the Fraizes and their tenants at 1562 Main Street via the use of photos and scaled sketch.
- Discussed options for the four air conditioning condenser units and a 30 kilowatt emergency generator for the Evergreen Lodge, using equipment cut sheets. Two sheathing pipes on the north exterior of the building will conceal tubing from the condensers to the interior air conditioning units. The storage-shed brochure was reviewed for various styles.
- Motion by Commissioner Jeski to deny the COA for Fraize parking proposal due to its visual impact and its impairing the integrity of the façade of the property and the character of the district. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Pitcock and approved unanimously.

The Historic District Commission reserves the right to require visual screening after the installation of the condensers. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Pitcock and approved unanimously.

The Historic District Commission reserves the right to require screening after the installation. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Evans and approved unanimously.
- Motion by Commissioner Evans to deny the Evergreen Lodge COA application for a shed due to the lack of specificity of the options presented, the diminishing of the stately appearance of the Lodge building, and the visual impact from the adjoining Ancient Burying Ground.
