Hi Lisa,
The proposed design appears to be consistent with my comment letter to the Historical Commission in that
the site plan states the original cottage "single room and facade to be saved, braced, and relocated." The
plans show a clear differentiation between the historic cottage and the new construction through the change
in roofline and the jog in the walls where the historic cottage meets the new construction.
I note that the foundation plans do not include this jog and likely need to be updated. In addition, each page
of the plans should include a note regarding the preservation of the historic cottage. All of the floor plans and
elevation drawings should clearly identify the historic portion of the building (relocated), and each plan should
specify that the original building materials (siding, trim, and structural framing) on that structure are to be
preserved and that original materials may be supplemented with additional bracing as needed.
It appears from the photographs submitted that most of the additional bracing has already been done, and
that they have already replaced the floor framing and flooring to increase structural stability during the
move. The applicant should also include "before construction" photographs of the three exterior facades of
the historic cottage on the plans. Those photographs should be used by the town as a baseline for ensuring
that original building materials and details on the historic structure are preserved in the finished structure.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Sarah
