Chatwood local historic landmark minor works application: <br /> Staff reviewed a proposed tree removal project for this designated landmark property. The <br /> owners brought in an arborist to assess the various trees on the property. This resulted in <br /> the identification of two relatively young trees (50-60 years old) that they would like to <br /> remove. Members viewed a powerpoint presentation showing the site and trees. Staff <br /> believes this is an appropriate minor works activity as per our design guidelines. <br /> Discussion followed. Members concurred and agreed that this is acceptable. The project <br /> architect wanted to clarify that the new kitchen windows will be the highest grade wood <br /> Marvin windows, aluminum clad on the exterior. These will replace some 1990s windows. <br /> So these are replacing earlier replacement windows. Window companies don't make <br /> premium all-wood windows anymore. These will be ordered with a factory finish, white, to <br /> match the other windows. They are wood on the interior face. Staff can work with the <br /> architect to get clarification on the trim and muntin details. Members indicated that they <br /> were comfortable with this clarification. <br /> b. Proposal for HPC field trip in May: <br /> The new owners of Chatwood have offered to give members a tour of the house and <br /> gardens sometime in May, preferably between May 4-7, when they will be in town and <br /> able to host us. Discussion followed. May 6 looked promising if it could be late in the day. <br /> Staff will coordinate with the owners to set the date, for 5 pm. <br /> c. Subcommittee to explore concept of a county historic marker program. <br /> At the last meeting, there was discussion about forming a marker subcommittee to look <br /> into the feasibility of a county marker program that would complement the state marker <br /> program and offer a way to promote the recognition of people and places not represented <br /> 1 <br />
