Replace existing windows with new
Contractor Scott Steve and Owner John Anderson were present for the meeting. They are proposing to
replace all the windows with a wood aluminum clad in black. The windows will remain the same size and
double hung. They will also replace, prep and paint missing metal trim with prefinished aluminum in
black to match the existing. This has been approved through SHIPO. The wooden front doors will be
repaired and repainted the current color along with the masonry where mortar is loose or missing and
repair existing concrete step. Phase 2 will involve the store front awning and possible façade changes.
When Phase 1 is complete, the owner will return to the Board with proposals for Phase 2.
A motion was made to approve the application as proposed.

98 Tompkins St (Babjack) has been slowly working on the fence that was proposed and approved in June
2015.
There is a new Hair Salon at 11 Groton Ave. ZEO Bob Rhea talked to the owner and they are going to be
putting an application together for signage to bring to the commission. This was addressed in April 2017.
The Cross Fit business has removed old backlit signage and has covered with boarding. It appears they
are ready to put up a new sign. It was asked if they could at least paint the empty area until they are
ready to put up signage.
A letter was sent to 40-42 Main St. to take care of the façade first when the funding comes in.
