A portico with flat roof supported by square wood columns covers <br />the front entrance. The property has a summer kitchen of brick to match the house, and a large gable -roof barn. <br />ALTERATIONS: Original bay windows roofs have been replaced with higher pitch and wood shakes. Aluminum <br />storm windows have been added. There is a small addition to the rear of the house. Between May 2012 and <br />December 2014, the front portico was removed without a COA. The barn was taken down in 2014 without a COA. <br />Green space at site of former barn has been developed with a stone wall built of original barn foundation stones. <br />COA 2017-0403A approved installation of egress window on north side of house and landscaping to screen <br />window and adjacent A/C unit, creation of dumpster pad along south side of drive adjacent to road, to be enclosed <br />with fence, gates, and evergreens, and extension of gravel driveway. COA 2017-0501 approved installation of 6'H <br />dog-ear wood stockade panels along north property line. Appropriate shade tolerant plants and/or junipers to be <br />• installed as necessary. COA 2017-1204A was tabled indefinitely by the Historic Preservation Commission — the <br />absence of a decision on the application resulted in the issuance of an approved COA on January 18, 2018. <br />APPLICATION ITEMS: "Windmill installation (See Attached)." <br />DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: <br />Applicant seeks approval for the installation of an approximately 40' windmill of unknown manufacture. Applicant <br />is in dialogue with two individuals regarding purchasing their vintage windmills. <br />Photographic evidence indicates the presence of a windmill at the site, set either to the east or the west of the <br />former barn. The manufacture and height of the original windmill at this site are unknown at this time. <br />PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT: <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Group B <br />A. Maintenance <br />The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and <br />upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. <br />B. Treatment <br />Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- <br />roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. <br />A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it <br />significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of <br />Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the <br />original surfaces. <br />C. Renovation and Additions <br />Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A <br />• modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to <br />landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. <br />Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, <br />materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the <br />following: <br />1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause <br />minimal visual change to the original style and construction. <br />
