prepared, that a non-conforming structure is being made less non-conforming through this

alternative roofing is proposed - but the applicant is will to use terra-cotta if the Board makes

Chair Caputo suggested conducting a site visit in light of the request to demolish the garage.

Addition (Bedroom & Bathroom)  
Attachments:  
Ms. Coffman introduced the application by describing the project and reviewing the staff  
comments.  
Mr. Joe Matava, and Mr. Quinn Miller, Peninsula Architects, described the project and  
presented a revised elevation, noted the septic system prevents the projection from being  
moved back, and that if the projection is moved back it will impede the view of the rear of the  
house.  
The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed: The location of the septic system in relation to the  
house, the Summit County requirements regarding septic system setbacks, the Board's desire  
for the projection to be further back, that this house is on a private drive, that if Summit  
County demands a larger setback the Board might reconsider the decision, Mr. Matava's  
opinion that the LDC requires a design that is not aesthetically optimal, that the bay window  
has been removed, options to the windows were considered, that the arched window is in  
proportion to the design, that shutters will be added to be consistent around the structure, and  
the work to be done on the out building was described.  
Mr. Workley made a motion, seconded by Ms. Sredinski, to approve the application  
with the following conditions: The shutters be applied consistently around the  
elevations, changing the bay windows to standard windows in the back and bay  
windows on the front and both sides, and the front projection be made to be in  
compliance with the LDC as approved by staff. The motion was approved by the  
following vote:  
Aye:

Attachments:  
Chair Caputo noted that Mr. Brown arrived from a previous commitment and is now seated  
on the Board.  
Ms. Coffman introduced the application by reviewing the staff comments, and displaying the  
elevations.  
Mr. Tony Lunardi, LDA Builders, Inc., stated he will verify the grade line and impervious  
surface requirements, questioned the number of surface materials are on the house, noted that  
a roof plan has been submitted, discussed removing a siding material around the front door,  
noted the elevations have been revised so that the upper gable is not above the roof line,  
described the trim around the side door and the windows as all being 4-inch trim, noted the  
front door is inset by 28-inches, and that awnings around the front have been allowed  
previously.  
The applicant distributed revised plans to the Board and staff.  
The Board, applicant, and staff discussed: The siding materials and window colors and  
orientation, that the siding between the windows is the owner's preference and that it  
introduced a new material because of the orientation, the materials, their orientation around  
the front door and that they terminate on inside corners, the possibility of using more brick  
around the front door, that the front windows are placed to be in alignment, that the awnings  
have metal roofs-which the Board has generally approved as an accent material, that the side  
elevation transom windows are in the great room to allow for built-ins below, the possibility  
of eliminating the material around the front door and using board and batten siding, that slider  
windows are used around the dining area, the various roof pitches and types used on the  
structure, the vertical siding on the front and garage side not blending in with the horizontal  
siding, that all the brick on the house will be the same color, that three separate materials are  
proposed on the front of the main mass, that the Board feels the awning in the front will be  
approved, that the typical window is a double-hung - however there are a number of fixed and  
slider windows, and that the narrow windows on the right side elevation are problematic.  
Chair Caputo recommended that the elevations be revised and resubmitted with the possibility  
of preferred and alternative plans.  
A motion was made by Ms. Marzulla, seconded by Mr. Workley, that this AHBR  
Application be continued to allow for revised plans to be submitted. The motion carried

Accessory Structure (Detached Garage)  
Attachments:  
Ms. Coffman introduced the application by displaying the site plans, and reviewing the staff  
comments.  
Mr. Joe Matava, and Mr. Kody Kocias, Peninsula Architects, stated the date of build for the  
garage to be demolished is unknown, the details of the garage have no distinctive features, it  
is a typical wood frame, and is in poor condition. Staff noted the only known fact is that the  
garage is present in photos from 1970.  
The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed: The lack of fenestration - the applicant belief that  
additional fenestration, will detract from the proposed design, the possibility of moving the  
windows closer together to resolve the fenestration problem, that a steel or fiberglass entry  
door is not allowed in the Historic District, design elements on the proposed garage are  
needed that relate to the house, the need for a site visit, that the proposed garage area be  
staked prior to a site visit, and that the windows on the proposed garage be made more  
vertical as the small house windows are.

Attachments:  
Ms. Coffman introduced the application by displaying the elevations, site plan, and reviewing  
the staff comments.  
Mr. Andrew Heilmeier, homeowner, was present for the meeting.  
The Board, applicant, and staff, noted staff's interpretation that the garage is counted as a  
wing, and that the LDC does not allow the main mass to become subordinate to a wing of this  
size. The applicant and Board discussed alternative designs and the difficulty of setting  
precedent if this design is allowed as well as the Board's opinion that it will be difficult to  
design an addition of this large size that the Board could approve.  
A motion was made by Ms. Manko, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, that this AHBR  
Application be continued. The motion carried by the following vote:  
Aye:

VII. Other Business  
Mr. Jonathan Paul Flemming, architect, asked to speak regarding the future review of 85  
Division Street. Mr. Flemming asked the board the following: 1) If three-tab shingles will be  
permitted on the addition? The Board replied that in general the materials should match. 2)  
That a raw CMU foundation is on the house, will it be permitted for more raw CMU to be  
installed? The Board stated that matching the existing is preferred. 3) That the window details  
are of different styles, what style should be used for future work? The Board stated that any  
new work should be subordinate to the original trim. 4) What the Board's preference is  
regarding eves, gutters, and downspouts? 5) That the Board will be more favorable to the  
front of the house if it, as well as the addition, are all sided as one. 6) That Pella Reserve  
windows will be used.  
This matter was discussed
