His home does not have much storage <br />and he would like to add a work space. He wants the project to look and feel like a barn. His <br />home was originally the dairy barn for the Rodriguez home next door and was converted into a <br />home in the 1940s. Mr. Neville stated that the proposed barn is a"Monitor" style barn and with <br />the dormers, it is called a"Clydesdale Monitor" barn. Monitor style barns were popular in the <br />south because they ventilate well. Monitor style barns were not popular in the Midwest because <br />snow tends to accumulate on the roof because the roof pitch is not very steep. Mr. Ulewicz stated <br />the roof pitch would be similar to his home. Mr. Dubowski asked about the height of the <br />building. Ms. Lieber said the proposal should be reviewed by the Landmarks Commission before <br />requesting variances so input regarding appropriateness can be incorporated prior to the BZBA <br />making its determination. Mr. Neville believed the building would need to be very tall for it to be <br />conspicuous from Butternut Ridge Road so he did not have a problem with the proposal. Mr. <br />Dubowski did not think the proposal would be able to be seen from the road. Mr. Ulewicz said <br />while the height could be reduced, he did not believe taking the top portion off of the barn would <br />look as aesthetically pleasing. <br />Ms. Egan-Reeves moved, seconded by Mr. Dubowski, to approve the Certificate of <br />Appropriateness to combine and enlarge the existing garages for 18-12216; Tim Ulewicz; <br />26775 Butternut Ridge Road conditioned upon variances being granted by the Building & <br />Zoning Board of Appeals, motion passed 5-0.
