The Board noted a preference for the Grand Manor shingle for the entire roof and agreed waiting until 2023 is unreasonable. Mr. Romanini noted there are no other available shingles with the Carriage House look and that retrofitting scalloped shingles at a later date is not practical, however he promised to continue to check on the availability status until installation time. A motion was made by Mr. Ray, seconded by Mr. Workley, that this AHBR Application be approved as amended with the use of Grand Manor shingles.

Mr. Joe Matava, Peninsula Architects, noted over the past couple of months the Baldwin-Buss House has been deconstructed which has led to greater understanding of the original structure. Mr. Matava also noted the west side siding and structural elements were found rotted and some crumbled during removal which led to the preservation report and recommendation for going forward. Mr. Matava also stated his opinion that new siding is needed on the north and west sides to protect the structure. The Board, applicant and staff discussed making a site visit with Naylor-Wellman Historic Preservationists, that this is a 100-percent replacement of the north and west sides of the house, the reason the east side is to be preserved is the risk of harming the structure if the east siding is removed and the fact that the east side is not in as poor of condition as the other sides. Mr. Matava described the work being done at present on the house has a goal of preserving as much material as possible, however some of the materials cannot be reused. Mr. Matava also noted that when materials were discovered that were unsound or unsafe they were removed and restored in kind. Staff and the Board expressed a desire to have conversation regarding elements that were eliminated which were not part of the approved submittal. The Board noted seeing holes in the foundation with Mr. Matava noting the foundation was not structurally sound, therefore the present foundation will be replaced with concrete and a stone veneer. The Board determined to conduct a site visit. This matter was discussed C.
