Chairman Cannella stated that a revised Certificate of Appropriateness was needed for painting so final grant payment could be sent out. The trim color was extended around the aluminum frames around the windows on the first floor, which was not part of the original approval.

Commissioner Stelling motioned for approval, seconded by Commissioner Busch. All voted aye and the motion carried.

Mr. Daniels went before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Chairman Cannella stated his dissatisfaction with the Board’s findings. All HPC Commissioners felt the decision of the Board of Appeals was contrary to what the HPC Commission had been asked to do from the beginning and perhaps the members of the Board of Appeals did not understand what the HPC is or what it stands for. The Commissioners requested an interpretation from the City Attorney and Chairman Cannella stated he would follow through with this.

Chairman Cannella stated there was a change in the transom in addition to some other items, which Mr. Mark Bain of Future Antiques was present for explanation. Commissioner Stelling stepped back due to conflict of interest.

Mr. Bain presented the changes needed.

Motion to amend made by Commissioner Busch. Seconded by Commissioner Stone. All voted aye and the motion carried. Commissioner Stelling abstained from voting.

Chairman Cannella entertained a motion to recommend extending the completion date to Mr. Berlin for his projects located at 316-332 and 336-344 North Pine Street to March 1, 2003.
