COA DESIGN REVIEW a. COA #1 Location: 1725 N. Main Owner: Alex Landau Project: Townhome construction Discussion: Mr. Landau presented updated drawings and materials for the townhomes originally discussed informally at the April HPC Meeting. HPC was in favor of using 6 over 1 or 3 over 1 double-hung windows, and then a light in the front door to match, either 6 panes or 3 panes. The windows should have substantial trim on three sides - 4" to 4 1/2" - with a projecting sill below that extends to the far sides of the trim, around a 2" projection and 2" height. The proposed stone base which was a point of concern at the last discussion is proposed to be a square edged stone, and HPC felt it was appropriate for the building. Hutton made a motion to approve the COA as presented and discussed in this meeting, and Nickrent seconded. Aye - Ackerman, Caulk, Hutton, May, Nickrent, Wilkins Nay - none Motion Passed. b. COA #2 Location: 910 Holyoake Road Owner: Gina Bradford Project: 10 x 10 cedar deck Discussion: Additional information was presented regarding this COA which was originally discussed at the regular May HPC meeting. Proposed guardrail detail was provided, though HPC questioned how the balusters were attached; they could be sandwiched between horizontal boards, or exposed on one side. Nickrent made a motion to approve the COA, and May seconded.  Aye - Ackerman, Caulk, Hutton, May, Nickrent, Wilkins Nay - none Motion Passed. IV. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION a. Special Meetings HPC discussed a willingness to expedite the COA review process where necessary and appropriate. Nickrent suggested having a standing special meeting on the fourth Wednesday of each month that would only be enacted if there was a special case. This would not be a meeting to review standard COA's, but only to follow up on COA's that were discussed at the regular meeting and required additional information before approval, or other urgent matters. The group present seemed amenable to this idea and will be discussed further at the next regular meeting. V. ADJOURNEMENT: NEXT MEETING is Wednesday, July 14, 2017 – Tom May made a motion to adjourn, Bob Nickrent seconded the motion. All in favor. Meeting was adjourned at 7:40pm. 118 Hillsboro Avenue P.O.
