this sense, the height is only 18 feet as it gets closer to the property line and not a <br /> massive wall as depicted by Mr. Bourg. <br /> As regards the low inventory of homes in historic neighborhoods, Mr. Huff asked that <br /> others be allowed to share the same experience people in these neighborhoods are <br /> experiencing with their historic homes. He also questioned how the proposal would <br /> detract from all of the neighbors around the site when only one neighbor has spoken <br /> tonight. <br /> Mr. Huff referred to the garage and stated that if it were located in the back, a driveway <br /> of about 12 feet would be needed, which will cut the width of the house down in the front <br /> to about 18 to 20 feet. He noted that the garage is in the front also because of site <br /> limitations. <br /> Mr. Huff indicated they would be happy to install story poles. He noted that historic <br /> studies cost anywhere from $4,000 to $5,000, and while familiar with shadow studies, <br /> he is unsure of their cost. He voiced concern about adding costs and requiring studies <br /> and suggested that computer images be utilized instead. He indicated that he hoped he <br /> has proven himself with respect to attention to details based on his other projects in <br /> town. He concurred with the statement that the carriage home housed soldiers during <br /> WWII, indicating that the home is one of many homes in the City that provided rooms. <br /> Francine Cunningham, owner, voiced concern about the cost of the historic study and <br /> inquired about the availability of historic research experts. <br /> Mr. Dolan replied that there are a number of different sources; however, the study <br /> presented by Mr. Huff does not name any sources but simply answers the questions as <br /> "yes" or "no." He indicated that the City knows of a number of very qualified people but <br /> was not familiar with anyone local. He added that staff would allow any individual as <br /> long as he or she is professionally qualified and can provide staff with an example of his <br /> or her work. <br /> No action was taken. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 13, 2011 Page 15 of 15 <br />
