 And so you are alive. All right, so thanks, Scott, and welcome to the Will's Recording in Progress, DRB. My name's Pete Kelly. I'm Chair of the DRB. And today is September 12, 2023. This is a hybrid meeting taking place at Town Hall and virtually on Zoom. All members of the board and public can communicate in real time. Planning staff will provide Zoom instructions for public participation before we begin. First order of business is a rule call. Please indicate that you are present. Nate Andrews. Present. Paul Christensen. Present. Lisa Brayden Harder. Present. Scott Riley. Here. Dave Turner. Here. John Hemmelgarn is on vacation and the chair is present. We do have a quorum. OK, so for tonight, before we go to Zoom instructions, we postponed Cottonwood Crossing. There was a site visit scheduled at 6 o'clock. And then they were on the docket as DP16-05.6. That is postponed two weeks to September 26. Items that are on tonight's agenda is HP23-04, which is a certificate of appropriateness, HP23-05, another certificate of appropriateness, and DP16-01.1, which is a master sign plan. Before we go to the public forum, I'll turn it over to Andrew for Zoom instructions, please. All right. Welcome to everybody while the one person on Zoom. For participants on Zoom, we have a lot of features on our toolbar. The mute button turns your microphone on and off. The video button turns your video on and off. Video is optional. The chat is for technical questions. If you have any questions, you can ask me, and I'll try to help you the best I can. During public comment, you can press the raise hand tool to request to speak. We will be using screen share tonight. This allows everybody to see the documents we're looking at. We recommend you use side-by-side mode so you can see who is speaking and the document. Zoom should default to this, but if it doesn't switch, you can click the dropdown down menu and choose side-by-side mode. If you have questions, you can let me know. And lastly, if you're having bad internet connection, you can try turning off your video or closing other tabs. You can also join with your telephone. And yeah. OK, all set, Andrew? Yes. Thank you. OK, first order of business, item two on the agenda. This is the public forum. This is an opportunity for the member of the audience who is present here in person or members participating by Zoom to address the board on matters that are not on tonight's agenda. Raise your hand if you're participating in Zoom and would like to participate in the public forum. No raised hands on it. No raised hands. OK. First up is HP 23-04. Paul and Susie, are you present? Paul is present. Thank you. Paul, come on up, please. If you would please state your name and address for the record, please. Paul Dickon, 8099 Williston Road. OK, thank you. Staff goes first. So this is a request for a certificate of appropriateness. The property is located at 8099 Williston Road. It's located in the National Register Historic District. The HAC reviewed this project last week and recommended approval with a couple recommendations. There's three components to this project. And I'll jump down to the photos to describe those. So here's a photo of the house as viewed from the street. It is listed on the historic survey. The first project is switching the door and window location on the front street-facing southeastern porch. The same door and same window would be used. They would switch location. The HAC recommended that door trim be removed and replaced with siding so that any evidence of the old door and old window is fully swapped over. The HAC also recommended either using that existing one over one window or for replacement window were to be selected, matching the other ones with six over six double hung window exterior montains. So that one, the recommended compliance as proposed. The second proposal is to finish out existing floor area at the rear of the home. A bit tricky to see on Zoom, but in the photo on the left, you can see the trim from when this was a carriage barn. This window within that area would be replaced, as well as this longer window in the image on the right next to the door. And this door would be removed and fully sealed up with matching siding. Part of this finished space is part of the biggest part of the project, which is a 200 square foot addition to the rear northeast corner of the home. This addition would match the existing structure in terms of roof pitch, siding the same reveal and color windows matching the existing double hung windows on the home. The main portions of the structure are slate roofs, and then all the side additions and porches are asphalt shingle roofs. So this would match those lower porches and addition roofs with shingles. And then the hack had a couple of recommendations that are listed on the first page of your packets. Wood siding, wood or aluminum fiberglass clad windows, and that the entryway column match the existing porch columns to the best feasible. With that, I have a clue. Thank you. OK, great. Thank you. Paul, any concerns with the proposed conditions from the hack? No, no, I think they're completely in line. Emily came into the walk around with me, too. So I could fully understand what she was saying. OK, super. DRB members, any questions, concerns? One question on your roof line of the addition. Yeah. How far below the existing eaves is that going to be? Can I give you an approximate? Sure. Yeah, you can't see it from the road because there's an older addition that runs parallel to the Williston Road. So it actually tucks behind that. And the angle of it matches to the main roof. So it's the same angle, but it's below the other roof. You're not. Correct. OK, yeah, maybe a foot or something. Yeah, maybe you can describe it in terms I don't know. My internet got unstable for a moment. I know that you feel like it delineates from the other roof. Yes, very much so. Yeah, very clearly so. OK. Any other questions? DRB members, any objection to me button off on this? No. OK. Thank you, Paul. Thank you all. Thank you. Nice meeting you. I'll read it in. Emily, do we read these into the record? You don't have to because they'll be in the written record. Yeah. We all run into that confusion. And I can never remember what we did in the past. OK, HP 23-05 is next at 8210 Williston Road. Is the applicant present? Yes, they are on Zoom. If the applicant would identify themselves and state their name and address for the record, please. Sir, hi, it's Katie Devitt. We live at 8210 Williston Road. Thank you very much. Staff goes next. Yeah, this is a request for a certificate of appropriateness at 8210 Williston Road. This property is also located in the National Register Historic District. The HAC recommended approval with one recommendation, same as the other application where you're changing door or window size and location. Make sure that all that trim is removed. So the visual evidence is gone and that the siding is replaced in kind. So this property is also listed on the National Register Historic District. Fun fact, the rear portion of the home where the kitchen is, it was the original portion. And what you see in this photo, what you see from the street was a later addition. However, that kitchen area was fully renovated in 2013. So all the doors and windows we're talking about are modern replacements. On the east facing facade, these two windows and one door will be replaced with three awning windows. The awning windows are coming from the other side of the building. So these two windows and doors will be removed. And on that west facing side, these awning windows will come out and be replaced with one longer window. Those three awning windows moving to the other side. And an image of what that proposed window looks like. We'll pull that up. There we go. So it's about 64, 65 inches long. So it would be a Marvin STL, simulated divided light window on that west facade, which is very minimally visible from Willis and Rip. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Emily. Katie, do you have any concerns with the conditions of approval proposed by the hack? Nope, no concerns. Anything else to add from Emily's staff report? Nope. It's pretty straightforward. We're just trying to do a kitchen renovation and in doing so, trying to get some more light over the sink on the form of one large five foot window. Yep. DRB members, any questions? Anybody opposed to me signing off on this? Okay. Thank you, Katie. Thank you all. Okay. Next up is DP16-01.1 floor trader of Williston. This is for a master sign plan at 96 commerce street. Is the applicant present? Yes, I'm here. Would you state your name and address for the record, please? Alison is Irvi, and I am the general manager. Great. Thank you, Alison. Okay. Staff goes next. This one's me. This is a request for a master sign plan at 96 commerce street in the industrial zoning district west. The applicant seeks to place a single 50 square foot sign wall sign on the street facing east side of the building. Staff recommends approval with findings, conclusions, and conditions as drafted. We did receive comment from the fire department on this application. They commented on the building and mailbox numbering as well as the signage for gas and sprinkler connections. The building and mailbox numbering is required by town ordinance and the gas and sprinkler connections are considered directional signage for WDB 25.7.9, and neither are required as part of a master sign plan. No comment letters were received at the time of mail out. Additionally, no illumination is proposed for the sign. And then looking at the frontage calculation, they are proposing a 50 square foot sign. They're allowed up to 96 square feet with that 8% rule. So they're below that number. What follows is a recommendation with findings, conclusions, and conditions. Okay. Thank you, Andrew. Allison, do you have anything to augment the staff report? No, I don't. Do you have any concerns with the proposed conditions of approval? Nope. PRB members, any questions? Mr. Riley, will you please read a motion? As authorized by WDB 6.6.3, I, Scott Riley, move that the Williston Development Review Board having reviewed the application submitted and all accompanying materials, including the recommendations of the town staff and the advisory board required to comment on this application by the Williston Development By-law and having heard and duly considered the testimony presented at the public hearing of September 12, 2023, except the findings affecting conclusions of law for DP 16-01.1. And approve this discretionary permit for the master sign plan subject to the conditions of approval above. This approval authorizes the applicant to submit final plans, obtain approval of these plans from staff, and then seek administrative permits, which must proceed in strict conformance with the plans on which this approval is based. Thank you, Scott. Is there a second? I'll second it. Dave Turner seconds it. Any discussion? No. Yay or nay? Yay. Paul? Yay. Lisa? Yay. Scott? Yay. Dave? Yay. Chair is a yay. Six in favor. None opposed. Motion carries. Is there a motion to approve the minutes of August 22, 2023? So moved. Lisa makes a motion to approve the minutes. Is there a second? I'll second it. Dave Turner seconds. Any discussion? Yay or nay? Only minutes. Nate Andrews? Yay. Paul? Yay. Lisa? Yay. Scott? Yay. Dave? Yay. Chair is a yay. Six in favor. None opposed. Minutes are approved. Any other business to bring forth tonight? We're going to keep this so we don't have to print more papers, right? Right. Yep. You might get a revised staff report from me. Maybe something from the applicant. So that'll be in the packet if that happens. But otherwise, keep that. Yep. Definitely hold on to it. Okay. It is 7.18. And we will close the meeting. Thank you very much for coming.
