PUBLIC FORUM:
There being no one wishing to speak, Chairman Shostrom closed the Public Forum.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
PreApp – 21 Winburn Way : Tom Sager and Tom Beam discussed the need to run an exhaust duct for
the kitchen range attached to the rear of the building and running up to the roof. Because of an
apartment on the second story, they could not install it within the building. The 22” x 10” duct would be
metal and painted to match the building color. The plan was to move the rear awning to the left.
Chairman Shostrom preferred the awning to remain in the same location and asked if the awning could
be designed to allow the duct to go through it. The applicants suggested minimizing the pitch of the
awning to allow it to be attached below the duct and allow it to be in the position suggested by Chairman
Shostrom. This suggestion was accepted by the Commissioners.
PreApp – 426 A Street: Christopher Brown, designer and Louis Plummer, owner presented preliminary
plans for a mixed use building on the corner of A Street and Third Street. The existing house is too
deteriorated to save. The 2-story L-shaped building would be sited 8-feet from the front property line and
4-feet from the east property line. Chairman Shostrom was concerned about the lack of eaves on the
east side closest to the residential lots. He suggested using sheetrock above the eave timbers and
utilizing timber sizes that would meet fire codes. Mr. Brown stated he would investigate the suggestion
and try to incorporate it into the design. The applicants explained that the block wall on that side would
be softened with vegetation as part of the landscape plan. The two large trees on the street sides were
being retained and protected and a pedestrian common area was being planned in front of the
entrances. Mr. Brown also commented the building would be Leeds certified. The Commissioners felt
the building would be compatible with the neighborhood and appreciated the design elements and the
public spaces.
