WAYNE DOOLITTLE: The only thing you're looking at was to cover the body of the house. You had to incorporate the trim and put it back on. JOHN OMAN: Not much of the trim is missing; because, during this time period of aluminum siding very little of the trim was removed; usually it was just covered over. It is later on that your siding really takes out the trim. . I will make a motion that this C of A be denied and that the owner comes back with a new proposal with the help of the staff and the inspector and we go from there. ALADEAN DEROSE: The motion has to be that the C of A that you previously issued be revoked. JOHN OMAN: That's what I said. I accept the staff report and that the previous C of A be revoked and that the owner then work with the staff and the inspector and come back with a new C of A on what should be the right way to do this. DIANE WROBEL-ILLES: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. . TODD ZEIGER: Aladean, under this discussion do we have to do the same thing as far as articulating the reasons like we did on the previous C of A? ALADEAN DEROSE: You can incorporate the staffs rationale. JOHN OXIAN: Do each one of us have to give a reason or can I give a reason for all of us? ALADEAN DEROSE: The person who makes the motion should give the reason why. JOHN OXIAN: I will make the reason being that the statement that was originally made by the owner that the under siding of the building, the original siding, was rotted and it was so stated and as was stated on the tape that was played and then put into the minutes. That is, not true and the staff now states the reason why and that is what I used as the reason to ask for the revocation of the earlier C of A. John Oxian makes the motion and Diane Wrobel-Illes seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. LYNN PATRICK: Are you clear with the decision that was made, Mr. Anderson? KENT ANDERSON: I don't know what I am going to do. I don't know if I am going to have to sell the house and move or what. LYNN PATRICK: That's why I am asking you if you are clear about the decision that was made. KENT ANDERSON: Yes, you denied me putting up the aluminum siding. LYNN PATRICK: No, that is not what we said. We revoked this C of A and we asked that you work with the inspector and staff to put together a new C of A that is very explicit regarding what is to be left exposed, what is to be painted, and what is to be sided. So we found a middle ground for you. TODD ZEIGER: The previous approval was very vague on all of that detail; because, we had a long conversation about the trim. Lynn Patrick stated that she would try and talk with Mr. Anderson some more about this matter after the meeting adjourned. 5. 502 East LaSalle -Bergen Building Local Landmark Demolition JOHN OXIAN: I would like to make a motion to table number 5 and number 6 under Certificates of Appropriateness and under Old Business number 4, until the December meeting at which time the Landmarks Committee will make a recommendation on all three of these buildings. 16
