[Board] Front door and Historic District

[Dan Gingras]

A small snag with the front door.

 

   Apparently because the door is visible from the street, we must get
permission from the Historic District Commission.   (!&^%$#)      We have
filled out the proper forms, and they have to notify the abutters.    The
Historic District meets May 7th and we found out that our deadline is today,
so we've filed the proper paperwork.  I think that doing this the proper way
is the only option since it's  visible from the street.   This adds an
additional $500 in fees and costs to the project.     Ironically, there are
at least 2 other doors EXACTLY like the new door in the neighborhood, so we
don't anticipate any problems except for the cost and delay.

 

   The other doors were all approved because they're not visible from the
street.
