Members Present: Bill Childs, Steve King, Phil Koepf, Wendy Naylor, George Clemens (Absent) Also Present: Dominic Cribari, Joan Andersen APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Naylor, seconded by Childs to approve the minutes from the October 18, 2022 meeting. Roll Call: Naylor-yea, Childs-yea. Motion passed. 1. RSR Chagrin 219 South Main New Dwelling-Preliminary Robert Vitt (Developer) presented plans for the second home they are building on the site. He said he didn’t want to confuse it with the streetscape but was trying to show the planning and scale between the four houses. Childs asked about the mass projecting over the main volume and Bob said it projects over about 8”. Childs said to divide and break up the massing and to add columns. He said they should be set in two pairs. Bob said that the house on 213 is the same footprint and will compliment this one. Childs said to revise the column design and shorten the span of the south portion of the house. He said to add some brackets on the bay window so it’s not a seat and put a little finish on it. They said to lower the pitch so that it is more consistent on the rear wing with drawings. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Childs to table this discussion for the following reasons: Developer needs to restudy the column design and shorten span of south portion of the house; Revise bay window with exterior brackets to provide more space between bay and garage; and Restudy for consistency in drawings on all elevations and provide a roof plan. Roll Call: King-abstain, Naylor-yea, Childs-yea. Motion passed. 2. Stephens 424 North Main Exterior Alteration-Final Dennis Marino (Peerless Homes) said they are extending the rear portion on first floor of house adding a screen porch and deck. The Board thought overall it looked good. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by King for final approval of plans as presented with adjustments to drawings showing side elevation roof lines to reflect the roof plan. Roll Call: Childs-yea, Naylor-yea, King-yea. Motion passed. 3. Grossman 77 Maple Street New Accessory Structure-Final Ira Grossman (Homeowner) presented plans for reframing the enclosed front porch windows. He said they want the framing to be more substantial and have more depth on the windows. Childs said they need to redraw plans showing the exact dimensions. The Board needs to see the mullions and trim so they can see the hierarchy. King said it needs to be drawn to scale. Koepf said these are old fashioned storm window frame and he needs to show how it’s put together. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Childs to table this discussion for the following reasons: The Board requested that they present dimensional drawings including mullions, trim and screen size. Need attention to scale, proportions, and hierarchy. Roll Call: Naylor-yea, King-yea, Childs-yea. Motion passed. 4. Butler 363 East Washington Street Exterior Alterations-Final Brian Kuck (Architect) explained they want to take the one-story garage and replace it with a two-bay garage that will by connected by a mud room. They plan on adding a master bedroom and replacing the existing porch with a sun room. He said that everything will match the existing house and that they pushed the addition back four-feet. Brian said that they accommodated what was recommended by the Board at the previous meeting. There was discussion about breaking up the mass, having the original structure read as more independent. Brian said they are trying to line up the roof with front and side addition. Childs said that in traditional architecture you don’t want it to read as a continuous mass. Brian said the roof pitch is pushed back and he thinks it’s simple. Koepf said he thought the whole idea of pushing the roof pitch back was so that the structure would read as independent. Childs said he wanted them to look at the rear wing addition roof line. Brian said that from the street you won’t be able to see the roof line. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by King for final approval of plans as presented. Roll Call: King- yea, Naylor-yea, Childs-nay. Motion passed. 5. Morgan 96 Maple Street New Accessory Structure-Final Dave Jenkins (Architect) wants a detached open-air covered grill area for their grill and pizza oven. He said it will have a small roof over it.
