REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES: The Landmarks Commission minutes from the March 10, 2003 meeting have been submitted for approval. Mrs. VanAuken pointed out there was a problem with the audiotape at the March meeting. She said that perhaps it was difficult to hear who was speaking. Mrs. VanAuken indicated the minutes reflect that she seconded a motion to approve the February minutes. She was not present at the March meeting, so she could not have seconded the motion. M.

NEW BTISINES5: Donald Stalter, 27537 Butternut Ridge - Resident is unofficially seeking information from the Commission regarding possible work to be done on his home Mr. Stalter addressed the board and indicated that he needs to replace his roof. He would like to change the color and he would like to go to the architectural style that gives a three-dimensional look to the roof. He would darken the roof and is looking for some ideas with regard to the historic look of the hoine. He then shared some rough sketches with the board members. He said some of his ideas involved the use of timber frame. He also considered having a front porch added to the front that would only be the width of his living rooin. He referred to the sketches. His original intent is to have room for a couple of chairs on the porch but if it is going to cost too much, he will simply move forward with re- roofing the house. Mr. Lang gave some background on the house and indicated it was built in 1959 according to MetroScan. It is a rectangular, brick ranch with a hip roof. The proposed change would be to add a gable over the front porch extending out toward Butternut. Mrs. Davis commented that it would make the house far more interesting as it is very plain right now. Mr. Stalter said he originally thought of doing a stone fireplace. He said there is a home on Mastick that had a timber frame addition put on a few years back and they have a beautiful two-way stone fireplace. The addition is actually larger than the original home. His plans would be to consider putting a great room off the back and he likes the idea of a timber frame structure. He would try to put a very small porch on that would not distract from the garage. He considered raising the roof line in that section so he would not have the valleys end up right at the gutter line, because of snow problems. They reviewed his sketches. Mr. Stalter said he is just looking for ideas and is very interested in preserving the look of the neighborhood. He indicated he is aware he would need to bring roof samples to the board. He asked if brick samples would also be required. He said the very basic work he would do is to re-roof it. He would re-do the entire hip roof with no structural changes to the roof. Mr. Lang asked him to confirm the type of shingle to be used. Mr. Stalter said it would be the architectural shingle in a different color. The second thing to consider would be some structural addition to make a gable roof that would give him a slight overhang. He said he considered the possibility of putting in a couple of columns. He has a two-foot overhang that wraps the entire structure. It is shallower in the front of the garage door because of how it
