A large portion of the project is being reimbursed by an approved grant. It was explained that the colors that have been selected will help all the detail on the building be noticed. The effect of the dark and light contrast will help with the depth perception. The colors consist of Beignet, Honeymoon, Courtyard Green, Saffron Strands, and Beauport Aubergine. The front of the building is a tin material. There are some concerns regarding the extra cost for all the detailed painting that is in the plans and if it will be noticeable. It was asked if the commission could consider stopping by the project and making a final decision based on a sample that would be painted before doing the entire building. The scheme will be followed on the Groton Ave side of the building as well. The windows will be single full screen, aluminum clad. The same profile as currently on the building. It was determined that the best color for the windows was Canvas. A motion was made to approve the application as the Commissioners are going to work closely with the owner throughout the process to give input with the color scheme. The windows will be double-hung- full-frame in the color of Canvas aluminum clad and same profile as currently on the building. Motion by: Comm. Stock Seconded by: Comm.
