III. Public Comment
Mr. Sid Nelson, 52 Aurora Street, spoke regarding the various plans for window placement on
the West side of 64 Aurora Street.
Mr. Nelson noted there are four window plans under consideration:
1. The existing window arrangement.
2, The least amount of work, taking one window out and moving the second, first floor
window over so it will be directly under the existing second floor window, this will lose
symmetry and create a good deal of open space, but is a possibility.
3, The Naylor Wellman recommendation which involves: A) Moving the second floor
window to a distance of greater than twelve-feet, making it illegal in Hudson. 2) Making the
first floor window a faux window. 3) Adding a third small window which Mr. Nelson feels is
disproportionate and anti-historic. Mr. Naylor stated his opposition to this plan
4. The more expensive option which is also the proposed option. This adds a third floor
second window and moves a first floor window to be symmetrical. This is the plan favored by
Mr. Morris.
Seeing no one else wishing to speak, Chair Caputo closed Public Comments .

Submitted by Anthony Frammartino

accurately on the other elevations.

and if the right/front corner board should be added. The right window and
shutter appear to be floating on the elevation.
