Raftus 106 Church Street Field Change Becky Pantuso (Architect) and Jeff Taylor (Contractor) presented plans. Becky said that Jeff cut a few of the speed tile which would be used to veneer the foundation to see if they would not break apart, and that there was no breakage. She stated that they did not know if they would have enough tile to complete the entirety of the foundation. Becky said that they also added a couple of windows in the basement to try to have enough tiles. Naylor asked if it was possible to cut all the speed tiles before starting work on the foundation in order to assess the amount available. Becky stated this would be too much cost. Becky stated that the owner thought that based on the last meeting that the Board would be open to use of a stone foundation which the owner would prefer. She presented a photo of the proposed stone veneer, to be used instead of the speed tile veneer. Naylor said that the Board had voted after deliberation at the last meeting to approve the veneer speed tile to retain historic materials. If they could not cut the speed tiles without breakage than the board would consider a stone foundation material. Becky said that they will have to paint the tiles since the salvaged tiles are painted. Becky asked if the proposed stone would work if they had to move that direction. Naylor stated that the proposed linear cut veneer stone is not compatible with a Greek Revival home - a rubble or random stone for the foundation is compatible but at this point the speed tile veneer is what is approved. Kaminski said his only comment would be that once they start cutting and if things start to break and they run out of material it won’t be consistent. Jeff said they are going to try and salvage everything they can. Becky asked if there was not enough, if the remainder of the foundation could be parged behind mechanical units on the north elevation. Naylor asked what type of windows they were installing, and Becky said they are the Marvin aluminum clad windows. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Kaminski to approve the field change for window locations and using Marvin aluminum clad windows. Also rejecting the use of the proposed stone veneer and approval for using the speed tiles. Roll Call: Corkran-yea, Kaminski-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed. Mike Corkran wanted it on record that he came on the Board as a resident and not a council person.
