1. Newell 62 East Summit Exterior Alteration-Preliminary
King read the Historical Significance Report and said because the house is more than 100 years old
the subject property meets the standards of a “Historically Significant Property”. The proposed
design does follow the “guidelines: for “preservation of features”, “replacement of features”, and
“compatibility”. The proposed changes are at the rear of the house and are not visible from E.
Summit Street. Motion by King, seconded by Naylor to receive the HSR report. Roll Call: Corkran-
yea, Kaminski-yea, Fazio-yea, King-yea, Naylor-yea.
Phil Koepf (Architect) presented these plans. Phil said that nothing has changed since they
presented this as a walk-in. He said that the only thing that has changed is the structural beam was
in the wrong place and that has been corrected. Clemens said that it looked nice but said the
windows should look more like double hung.
Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Kaminski for final approval of plans as presented with
second floor six over six windows. Roll Call: Corkran-yea, Fazio-yea, King-yea, Naylor-yea,
Kaminski-yea. Motion passed.
2. Barone 139 Solon Road Exterior Alteration-Final
Joe Myers (Architect) and Mike Skoda (Skoda Construction) presented these plans. Mike said that
they are adding an addition of a porch and a wing off the back of the house. He said the massing is
the same and that they took the recommendation of the board and changed the chimney to a fully
masonry one. Clemens asked if they had extended the rakes on the beams and Joe said that they
had extended them.
Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by King for final approval of plans as presented. Roll Call:
Kaminski-yea, Fazio-yea, Corkran-yea, King-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed.
3. 23 Bell Street LLC 23 Bell Street Fence-Final
Roberto Vega-Peralta (Architect) presented these plans. Roberto said that they are constructing a
waste enclosure. He said that they are using a natural wood look so that it would blend in with the
street.

Call: King-yea, Corkran-yea, Fazio-yea, Naylor-yea, Kaminski-yea. Motion passed.
4. Prack 289 East Washington Exterior Alterations-Final
Becky Pantuso (Architect) and Jackie Prack presented these plans. Becky said that it is exactly how
it was before except they took recommendations of the Board showing the 2” topography. She said
the Board recommended pulling the gable end out, but it wasn’t cost effective to do that. She said
the rear is echoing the front.
Summation-motion by King, seconded by Naylor for final approval of plans as presented. Roll Call:
Fazio-yea, Corkran-yea, Kaminski-yea, Naylor-yea, King-yea. Motion passed.
Walk-In 88 Carriage Stone
Becky Pantuso (Architect) presented these plans. She said the Board had recommended that they
had columns to the front and that her client doesn’t want to add them. Kaminski said that what
Becky is doing is an improvement to what is there. Clemens said to scale it larger and project it.
Walk-In 305 East Washington
Dave Janson (Architect) presented these plans. He said that the Board had requested a site plan
showing how they are addressing grading on the site. He said that the trees in front of the property
are the owners and have been removed. He said that they moved the proposed house and pulled in
the chimney to get it off the property line. Dave said that everything will be graded and that they are
removing the existing storm drain to the hillside. Clemens said he thought it was going to work for
grading. Dave said that he had to show ABR the plans before he could go to BZA about the front
porch. Clemens said that the grading would have no adverse effect.
