(!&^%$#)      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.
