Public Comment Chair Marzulla opened the meeting to public comments for anyone wanting to address the Board on any agenda item. Ms. Julie Ann Hancsak, of 60 Division Street, addressed the Board. She reminded the Board of their duty to protect the historic district and its character. With reference to the project at 42 Aurora St., she asked the Board to consider the context, scale, and impact it would have on its surroundings. She referred to the preamble of the Architectural and Design Standards and commented on the principles related to the public realm taking precedence over individual buildings and respecting the environment in which buildings are placed. Ms. Francois Kinney, of 63 College Street, addressed the Board. She indicated that the 42 Aurora St. project was out of scale with neighborhood structures and would detract from the historic district's character. Ms. Inga Walker, of 189 Aurora St., addressed the Board in regards to the 42 Aurora St. project. She said she opposed the project and indicated she feels the project is out of scale with the streetscape, property, and district. Ms. Sharon Reichert, of 29 Division St., addressed the Board. Ms. Reichert explained that she has a small house and the character of her house and the others in the historic district is the reason why people love the village so much. Mr. Robert Douglass, of 48 Aurora St., addressed the Board. He objects to the 42 Aurora St. project because the two-story detached garage proposed does not fit within the landscape of the historic district and no other project like it exists in the district.
