Klusczinski: No, I have a question for you. Greene: Oh, I'm sorry, you do things differently. Klusczinski: Because this is an application after the fact, is it a moot point that we entertain this for voting? Can we just receive this into the record? Greene: I think that because the action has already been taken, your approval of disapproval of this Certificate of Appropriateness would not have any effect on the actual project. What you're trying to do here is make a record for your file, and you're accepting the application as a point of reference or as a point of information only. Patrick: Can we accept the application, but deny the work? Greene: Uh, yes I believe that you could, and you could send a correspondence to that effect to this petitioner or applicant. Klusczinski: I see, well I'm certainly open for some suggestions. Do you have any other statement to make in regard to this? Pfeil: I think that Wayne explained it. He showed up one week before I was done, I was about to list the house. He told me what I had on my hands and it's been on hold ever since, so I've been sitting on it for a month. I talked with realtors and they didn't know anything about it... Patrick: Who is the realtor, I'm sorry to interrupt, that represented the house? Pfeil: McGinty (?) and Company. I don't have their card. Bob McGinty? I thought that he might be here, but he didn't show up tonight. I talked to him about it but it never came up in title search, it never came up in tax records, it just didn't show up. I've had it since the end of December, I think and like I said, when Wayne showed up I was done, ready to sell it. Patrick: What was the cost of the improvements? Pfeil: The windows or everything? Patrick: The windows, the part that's non-compliant with the... Pfeil: I think A about $3500.00. Patrick: Did you have a building permit? Pfeil: No, I wasn't even aware that I should do that. This is about the fourth house that I...I just started doing this last year. Patrick: So you did not submit for a building permit. Pfeil: No, and he said that's where it might have shown up. The windows in back, the ones that I took out, were all screwed in because they wouldn't stay up by themselves. They all leaked. There's a train that runs in the back of the yard, they all rattled when the train passes. The replacements are much quieter and much warmer. Patrick: Any photos submitted with this. Pfeil: He told me that he might take some, but he didn't get, in fact I saw Wayne today and he didn't hand me any. Klusczinski: Would we violate proper procedure, counselor, if we received this without public comment? Greene: I don 't believe that a C of A generally calls for public comment unless you go to, and again I apologize for just stepping in at the last minute... Klusczinski: Procedurally, we usually for people supporting the petitioner or in opposition for it. So with that in mind, would we have a problem? Greene: No, you have the full discretion whether to issue this permit or not- so it's up to you, whether to accept public comment at this time. Klusczinski: I would entertain a motion whether or not we pursue this Certificate of Appropriateness for discussion, for the record, it is 2007-0313A. Or if we forego this discussion and receive it into record for the property since the work has already been completed. Zeiger: Did you say you're looking for a motion? Klusczinski: I'm looking for a motion Choitz: Iso move ... your last suggestion. Klusczinski: Which was...? 2
