REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mr. Dubowski moved, seconded by Mr. Morse, to approve the Landmarks Commission minutes of June 13, 2016 as revised, motion passed 5-0. NEW BUSINESS 16-6021; Paul Accordino; 25747 Butternut Rid$!e Road Proposal consists of a Certificate of Appropriateness for an attached garage. Representative: Paul Accordino, owner Mr. Accordino brought updated plans for review. He decided to build an attached garage instead of the approved detached garage due to his budget constraints and to keep water out of the structure due to the grade change of his property. The height and roof pitch would be continuous with the house. The face of the garage would be 8 feet 4 inches north of the face of the house, which would be similar to the previous garage. To match up with the existing driveway, Mr. Accordino proposed a T-shape addition. This would create more living space in the garage. The garage will be large enough for four cars, a workshop and a mechanical room, including a furnace and hot water tank. There will be doors connecting the home to the addition on the first and second floors. The cedar shake shingles will continue on the front and the east side of the garage and vinyl siding will be on the other sides to match the home. The dormer shape and roof shingles will match what exists on the home. Downspouts will be installed on the front and rear of the addition and will be tied into a soakage trench installed by the owner, along with the existing sump pump. Discussion about the appearance of the garage being set forward from the front of the house. Discussion regarding the windows; the proposed addition windows will be double hung but will not have mullions. Discussion about shingled roof versus EDM used on the dormer roof, which will be reviewed by the Building Department. Mr. Schumann stated that a similar addition was previously permitted a few doors down from the grade school. He did not think the addition would look inappropriate in the district. Mr. Accordino pointed out that the garage door on page 10 shows the proposed door detail. Mr. Schumann suggested that the existing casement windows in the home be replaced in the future because they are not appropriate for the district. Mr. Accordino stated he would consider adding mullions if needed.
