Commissioner Comments
Chair O’Neil commented that she knows a neighbor, who is a Canepa and heir, and they are
excited to see the restoration.
Commissioner Dawson stated the project is a clear improvement, but the secondary structure
does not comply with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards because the front elevation, siding,
windows, roof slopes, shingles, gutters, back posts, and corbels look very similar.
Vice Chair Smith-Crivello said that from the street she could see that it was distinguished and
saw them as different and being able to live together. She expressed approval of project,
design, and details and suggested the project as a good example of staff helping with different
approaches to maintain old and interesting properties.
Chair O’Neil mentioned the project is different but compatible.
On a motion by Vice-Chair Smith-Crivello, seconded by Commissioner Rath and carried
by the following vote, the Historic Preservation Commission approved Historic Permit HP-
22-0051 to allow exterior alterations to the secondary structure and adoption of Historic
Preservation Report at 260 Laine Street:
AYES: 6 MEMBERS: O’Neil, Smith-Crivello, Collum, Dawson, Rath, Rodriguez
