Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes July 20, 2015 Page 4 of 13 Trice stated it appears to be an addition to the original structure. Aglietti stated it was an effort to save the kitchen. The kitchen is a great 1930's design. She took the commission through their proposed site plan. Michael Gartman, the project engineer, went through the plan to show how they retained certain components of the house and how they are trying to provide energy efficiency. Watson asked staff why staff did not approve money for the porch. Trice stated painting is not an approved grant fund. Watson asked why removal of the carport is being included. Trice stated the removal of the carport helps maintain the form of the structure. Stewart agrees with staff because it removes a non - conforming portion of the structure. He also agrees with the grant amount. In terms of the alteration, he stated he would rather have the additions not seen from the street so the existing structure takes prominence. He recommends a minor "tweak" to the plan by taking the eats wall of the bathroom and pushing it west to expose the corner of the existing structure that would meet our criteria. He also recommended staggering the roof lines between the existing structure and the addition. He is generally in support of the request. Fasick states she agrees with Stewart if we continue to approve additions which bump out to the street side and mask the existing structure. She also questions whether the carport should be included in the grant. Watson stated he believes the carport does obscure the back of the kitchen and grant funds would be an incentive to remove the structure. He is inclined to approve the project as proposed. Fahey asked if the new addition was going to be a different siding material. Trice stated the siding itself will be distinguishable. Watson made a motion to approve the request as presented. Fahey seconded. Motion approved 6 to 0.
