MANSFIELD HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION

July 12, 2005

 

Members attending: I. Atwood, H. Marshall, J. Newmyer, D. Spencer

 

The minutes of the June 14 meeting were approved.

 

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH ROOFING. 

            I. Atwood moved that the application for a certificate of appropriateness to apply asphalt shingles instead of cedar shingles to the bell tower and front entry of the First Baptist Church of Mansfield be denied.  D. Spencer seconded the motion.

            It was pointed out that Meredith and William McMunn have offered to apply for grants and, if none are forthcoming, to pay for the installation of cedar shingles; since there had been an anonymous donor for the application of asphalt shingles previously, cost is not a factor in the decision as to which shingles to apply.  Also, leakage is not yet a factor so there is time to explore the obtaining of possible grants to cover the cost. 

            The denial of the application was passed unanimously.

 

            Gail Bruhn will be asked to forward to the church a copy of the denial and information on cedar shingles and their installation.

 

 

WOODS COMMUNITY

            Natalie Miniuitti presented a design plan for a 2800-sq. ft. house with a 2-car attached gaage to be built in the Woods Community, lot #l, on Browns Rd., Storrs, Ct.   The  request for a certificate of appropriateness for this plan was unanimously approved.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

 

Jody Newmyer

Clerk
