Mr. Jason Bibens, Architect for Ferguson & Shamamian
Architects, gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation. During the
presentation, he stated they were looking to enhance the existing seawall
inward (west). John Lang, Landscape Architect, gave a detailed
description of the landscaping, stating it was a very simple plan.
Chairman Murphy asked if there had been any feedback from the
neighbors to which Town Clerk Basel answered in the negative. Chairman
Murphy asked about the change -out of windows, noting the arched window
being different. Mr. Bibens stated they were removing the arched windows
to create more angular proportions and bring in more light.
Town Clerk Basel noted that the seawall was not on this
application, and it was the staff's understanding that the seawall was
going to be happening at a later date. She added that the seawall would
make the application a Level III, not a Level II. Assistant Town Attorney
Nazzaro stated that it wasn't a comprehensive application, but it would
become a Level III because of the seawall being a special exception.
Chairman Murphy gave Mr. Bibens the option of having the Board vote on
what was presented, or withdraw the application and present again
including the seawall, as a Level III. Mr. Bibens stated it was his
mistake and they would make a separate application for the seawall.
Vice Chairman Dockerty made a motion to approve a Demolition
Permit to remove certain existing structures including the colonnade,
existing pool, and deck. Board Member Roach seconded the motion with all
voting AYE at roll call.
