Comments : The HPC reviewed and recommended approval of the relocation of the historic residence
and proposed modifications (with recommendations) in 2008. The front windows were an area of interest
for the HPC. The applicant at the time was proposing to retain the existing window details around the front
windows . The contract purchaser of the property is interested in simplifying the details to be a simple
stucco wrap which they believe to be more architecturally appropriate .
