REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF 1VIINUTES Mr. Dubowslci moved, seconded by Mr. Dubelko to approve the Landmarlcs Commission minutes of November 10, 2014 as written, which passed 6-0. NEW BUSINESS CMS14-2322; Anthony Samarian; 25747 Butternut Ridge Road Proposal consists of a certificate of appropriateness to preserve wood shingles on the north elevation and install vinyl siding on the south, east and west elevations. Note: Tabled 11/10/14 Mr. Samarian said the home was recently purchased and they'.re trying to buckle the house up to ensure no further damage. They were able to install a new roof however the previous owner removed the siding from the east and south elevation.

The photos submitted show the siding is plank wood not shaker shingles. He would like to use the vinyl on the entire home and just fix the ornate wood work along the front.

The commission would not want the style of the hoine changed or lose its historical character. He has no objections to using vinyl siding along the back of the home but would prefer the front remain wood siding. The wood shingles are
