The roll having been called, Chairs T. Plass & S. Iott declared a quorum at 5:07p.m.
and the following business was conducted:
2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Review of the Green Points Program Update Recommendations
• Focusing on the deconstruction of existing buildings and historic rehabilitation
options.
Public Hearing (covering al! discussion items)
Robert Sharp, 5995 Marshall Road, spoke about the issues of reuse of buildings.
Board Discussion
Windows and doors
• Direction of Greenpoints related to windows and doors on the right track, giving
points for the retention of windows and doors is a positive step
• Enforcement and compliance is very important
• Reuse of materials, including windows and doors is a key factor
• Should be a reward -more points for historic windows and doors rather than new
windows and doors
Deconstruction
• Could atool/handout be developed to help guide people in making full demo vs.
retention decision?
• Could a carbon trading program be developed?
• Can we develop abefore/after makeover information brochure?
• Deconstruction and especially retention of existing walls is a positive step.
• Some board members felt a need for more incentives (points) for retention of existing
structure.
• It is also important that deconstruction be economically feasible if required as part of
the Greenpoints program.
• The larger issue of regarding total demolition may need a larger community
discussion of neighborhood character? (pops/scrapes)
• Some board members supported making retention of some portion of the building
required.
B. Draft Guidelines for Historic Doors and Windows
• Do the draft guidelines adequately address historic and environmental concerns?
• Do the draft guidelines provide a fair and reasonable procedure for reviewing
applications to replace historic doors and windows?
• Do the Boards have additional suggestions?
Board Discussion
Overall direction is good to be able to categorize windows to help determine
treatment/replacement options, a clear mark-up version will help in reviewing the actual
revisions.
The Landmarks Board chose not to initiate the rule-making process, and requested
revisions be brought back to the board at the October meeting for review and discussion.
C. Brochure/Website Update
Staff gave an update on the brochure, and informed the boards that the website will be
created shortly. The content is in the editing stage.
3. ADJOURNMENT
