A
Their
residences
or
businesses
in
either
the
historic
districts
or
overlay
districts,
and
we
usually
have
a
process
we
go
through
at
the
beginning,
where
we
review
our
minutes
from
the
previous.
This
will
be
the
February
meeting
work
session.
Regular
meeting,
if
you
all
have
had
time
to
look
at
those.
C
The
only
item
of
new
business
on
the
agenda
is
special
tax
assessment
application
number
tax,
zero
to
four
applicant
Christopher
Lawler
requests,
preliminary
approval
of
restoration
work
at
4:43,
Lauren,
Street
Southwest
for
the
purpose
of
the
special
tax
assessment
for
historic
properties
text.
My
parcel
number
one:
zero:
five,
twelve
zero
one,
zero
zero,
two
and
mr.
Lawler
has
received
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
for
all
of
the
improvements
visible
from
the
right-of-way.
So
you
have
technically
approved
that
via
the
certificate
process
already,
but
he's
done
a
very
thorough
job
of
detailing
in
the
application.
C
All
of
the
work
done.
The
modifications
to
the
first
floor
layout,
so
I've
summarized
it
in
the
staff
report,
but
just
note
that
this
is
a
contributing
property
in
the
historic
overlay
district.
It
was
constructed
in
approximately
1935
and
is
known
historically
as
the
Russell
head
house
and
four
acres.
A
A
And
I
can't
imagine
we'd
have
any
questions.
You
have
a
very
thorough
and
detailed
explanation
of
the
work
that
you
intend
to
do
and
but
I'll
see
if
we,
if
anyone
would
like
to
to
have
further
questions,
we've
been
through
through
the
house
and
you've
explained
some
of
the
interior
modifications,
primarily
with
the
kitchen
I.
Think
yes
and
then
one
exterior
entrance,
but
do
you
all
have
questions
of
mr.
wall
or
if
you
have
something
you
want
to
add
your
feel
free
to
do
so.
Yeah.
D
B
D
I
think
you
you
all
went
through
and
saw
what
that
what
that
looked
like
before
we
took
it
apart,
and
so
the
plan
basically
is
to
modernize
the
kitchen,
attach
it
to
that
storage
area
as
a
TV
room.
So
it's
a
little
more
excuse
me
a
little
bit
more
open
and
then
to
connect
the
kitchen
to
the
rest
of
the
house
better
right
now,
there's
just
a
little
sort
of
door.
D
I
think
servants
only
were
allowed
to
go
through
that
went
from
the
kitchen
into
the
dining
room
so
that
that
part
of
the
house
is
very
disconnected
from
the
rest
of
the
house.
So
conveniently
there
is
a
line
right
across
the
back
of
the
house
that
comes
out
of
the
living
room
goes
up
some
steps
into
the
foyer,
and
if
you
continue
on
that
line,
maybe.
A
D
D
D
One
hallway
all
the
way
across
the
back
of
the
house,
and
the
idea
is
to
take
the
kitchen
and
really
make
it
more
a
part
of
the
rest
of
the
house
with
that
opening,
also
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
dramatic
appearance
going
through
the
whole
length
of
the
house.
All
the
way
across
and
conveniently
the
dining
room
is
already
sort
of
divided
a
little
bit.
There's
a
couple
of
columns
with
a
with
a
beam
overhead
shown
in
the
dotted
lines.
There's.
D
The
middle
of
the
dining
room
that
we're
there
original
to
the
house
that
almost
kind
of
say
that's
the
dining
room
in
this
other
area-
can
be
a
hallway
without
having
it
look
odd,
like
you're
going
through,
and
so
that's
that's.
The
the
primary
change
is
in
the
kitchen
and
the
storeroom
behind
it,
which
will
be
a
TV
room.
We
all
we
did.
There
is
open
it
up
and.
A
B
D
Then
there
were
some
there's,
some
minor
changes
up
in
the
master
suite
where
there
was
four
closets
that
were
all
back
together
back
to
back
in
the
middle
of
the
master
suite
and
we
combined
them
into
one
bigger
closet
and
we
took
one
other
closet
and
attached
it
to
a
bathroom,
because
there
was
a
shower.
That
was
just
right
in
the
middle
of
the
bathroom
we
put
in
in
the
60s
and
there's
no
convenient
way
to
put
a
shower
in
the
bathroom.
So
we
just
took
in
adjacent
closet
and
made
out
the
show
yeah.
A
And
you're
I
think
you're
doing
a
good
job,
taking
all
these
little
spaces
and
reconnecting
them
and
making
it
really
more
logical
and
comfortable
to
live
in
and
really
most
of
the
time,
the
the
elements
that
are
most
important.
You
know
in
terms
of
preservation
of
the
front
the
front
entrance
hall
and
the
living
room
and
that,
of
course,
the
dining
room
you're
altering
some,
but
in
in
this
case,
mostly
you've
been
you've
been
modifying
secondary
spaces.
In
that
space
is
there,
it
would
be.
You
know,
public,
more
public
spaces.
D
A
D
In
this
kitchen
actually
had
you
know
a
more
inappropriate
to
the
house
kind
of
big
casement
window
in
it.
Looking
out
the
patio
area
to
the
right
of
the
garden
to
the
right,
I
mean
it
wasn't
bad,
but
it
just
didn't
quite
go
with
the
house
and
we
put
patio
doors
there
instead,
which
are
a
little
bit
more
right
there
in
the
bottom.
A
D
The
remaining
bedrooms
in
the
house,
of
which
there's
quite
a
few,
are
gonna
stay
unchanged.
I
mean
that
we're
gonna
keep
that
the
the
sinks,
the
tubs,
the
layouts,
the
medicine
cabinets.
The
only
thing
we're
gonna
change
is
the
floors.
The
floors
are.
Are
this
really
old
tile?
That's
all
warping
and
coming
up
really
thin,
like
a
almost
like
a
linoleum
tile
that
we're
gonna
put
tile
floors
down
to
just
to
fix
those
up
a
little
bit.
Mm-Hmm.
B
D
D
It's
it's
interesting.
The
house
has
a
really
elaborate
drainage
system
for
the
for
the
downspouts
and
at
some
point
it
was
modified
and
all
the
downspouts.
Instead
sorry
I,
keep
hitting
that
microphone.
All
the
downspouts
instead
went
into
the
yard
off
too
they
missed
the
drainage
system.
We
actually
verified
that
the
drainage
system,
with
a
little
bit
of
work
was
was
was
still
usable,
and
so
we
ran
all
the
new
downspouts
into
the
old
drainage
system
and
it
works
great
yeah.
