William Wietsma was recognized and explained that at the time the
improvements for this property were considered by the ARPB, the home was
painted a light beige with white trim and white shutters. A picture of
the gate that was proposed was presented and was also white. It was
approved with the condition that the gate match the trim on the house,
and a letter stating that was received from the Town. He went on to
explain that the owners decided they wanted a white house with dark
brown trim. Mr. Wietsma advised he had not been in attendance at the

white trim would remain and ordered the gate to match the new trim
color, brown. He showed a picture of the gate, attached to the white
wall and also photos of other gates along State Road AlA, pointing out
that there are only two white gates along this highway. He requested
that the change in color from white to dark brown be approved.
