changed. They now permitted a straight exit from <br />the vestibule. The new steps would require a <br />90-degree turn to exit. <br />2. The molded entablature under the eaves would <br />be replicated, but in a simplified form. <br />Mr. Bennett said the angle of the steps had <br />been changed to accommodate a tree in the back <br />yard. <br />Mrs. Choitz asked whether the staff had <br />discussed the simplification of the trim with Mr. <br />Bennett. Mr. Pastor said he hadn't yet been able <br />to do so. Mr. Bennett said he intended to match <br />the trim on the main entablature as closely as <br />possible. <br />Mrs. Choitz asked why the issue of trim had <br />been raised at all; hadn't the owner promised to <br />replicate the old vestibule as closely as <br />possible? Mr. Bennett said the specifications <br />for trim were still rather sketchy. He said he <br />would match the trim as closely as possible <br />without resorting to custom molds. Mrs. Choitz <br />said certain HPC members could lend their <br />expertise to this problem, if the owner so <br />wished. <br />Mrs. Choitz said she wanted to make a new <br />motion. Mr. Oxian said she could either withdraw <br />her first motion, or add to it. Under new review <br />procedures, motions could be amended with the <br />approval of the person seconding. <br />Mrs. Choitz moved to approve the proposal. adding <br />that the trim be replicated as closelv as <br />possible. Mrs. SDorleder approved the addendum. <br />Mr. Bennett informed the Commission that the <br />bottom part of the vestibule was older that the <br />top, and had once been part of an open porch. <br />Did the Commission also require him to replicate <br />the molding around this bottom part? Mrs. Choitz <br />said only the molding under the eaves need be <br />replicated. <br />Mrs. Sporleder asked what type of siding was to <br />be used. Mr. Bennett said it was 8" vertical <br />wood tongue & groove. <br />Mrs. Sporleder voiced the concern that the <br />balustrade would not follow building code <br />requirements, since it apparently lacked <br />intermediate balustrading. Mr. Bennett said <br />there would indeed be intermediate balustrading, <br />though it wasn't yet shown on the plans. <br />Mr. Oxian asked whether clearer specifications <br />should be required. Mr. Bennett said he could <br />easily amend the plans to more clearly indicate <br />the balustrading. The reason he hadn't yet done <br />so was that he didn't know the exact dimensions <br />yet. <br />Mr. Holycross asked whether the staff could <br />approve this last item. Mr. Oxian said it could. <br />The motion was aDDroved unanimouslv. Mr. Oxian <br />instructed Mr. Bennett to obtain staff approval <br />for the balustrading. <br />4 <br />
