Mr. Pastor distributed photos of the house and described it as a c. 1909 Prairie -style house, rated 0-13 and designed by architect Ernest Young. He said that the owner, Mr. Brian Crumlish, proposed to replace the cedar shingle roofing on the garage with Timberland brand asphalt shingles, simulated cedar shingle profile. Mr. Crumlish had provided samples of both the existing and the proposed shingles. Mr. Pastor said that, while the proposal wasn't strictly within standards, there were mitigating factors.

A meter box was to be attached to the northeast post, in an inconspicuous spot. The chosen replacement lamps closely resembled the originals, as shown in an old postcard of the district. Mr. Holycross recommended approval of the project, stipulating that the meter -box be painted to match the bricks. Mr. Oxian asked Mrs. Shaw to specify the type 0
