OLD BUSINESS:
CoA – 126 North Main Street (Paint, Mortar, Brick Replacement)
Shirlon Harris had previously submitted a Certificate of Appropriateness application for paint and brickwork at 126 North Main Street The brick work is similar to the work at 128/130 North Main Street – where the HPC had some concerns. This application was tabled on November 20, 2014 and again on February 19, 2015.
Ms. Harris had previously requested permission to use new brick which she intends to paint. She stated that she was having difficulty matching old brick for this repair. She placed an ad in the Pennysaver and brought samples of used bricks she obtained from different places in the area Ms. Harris also provided a sample of the new brick as well as the cut sheet for the brick.
None of the old bricks appear to be adequate for the repairs she needs to make. Ms. Harris was also uncertain of the number of bricks she would need as well as the number of used bricks she could obtain. The HPC suggested she get the dimensions of the existing brick her building is composed of and take the dimensions to a “rehab” business that sells old brick in greater quantity. Members suggested several places that fit the description.
It was agreed that if Ms. Harris found a possible solution prior to the next meeting she could submit it to CEO Vendetti for approval. The HPC also agreed to schedule an earlier meeting date if something usable was found.
The HPC tabled the CoA for 126 North Main Street until next month’s meeting.
