Mansfield Historic District Commission

                                    Minutes, Meeting Jan. 13, 2009

Members Present:  I. Atwood, A. Bacon, G. Bruhn, J. McGarry, J. Newmyer, D. Spencer

Others Present:  Dan and Anne Newmyer and Kay Holt

The meeting convened at 8:00 p.m.

Discussion revolved round the status of the renovation project at the home of Dan and Anne Newmyer at 31 Centre Street, Mansfield Centre Historic District. The project was previously approved by the Commission. 

The garage portion of the project has been constructed, and the scale of the project as well as the size and materials used for the garage doors has raised concerns from several committee members as well as village residents.  Dan Newmyer contends that the scale is not different from that originally submitted, and that once the existing structure is rebuilt, the scale will not be objectionable, 

Dave Spencer  received subsequent to the December 2008 meeting from Charles Dainton of Dainton Electric explaining that CL&P agreed to repair the electric service to Dr. Gary Bent’s home at 97 Mansfield Hollow Road.  CL&P agreed to relocate the wires and electric box to the right hand gable end of the right hand portion of the house, in accordance with the suggestion of the Historic District Commission.

G.Bruhn wrote the Town of Mansfield Building Inspector giving approval for the electric work.

There was no other business conducted, and the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Gail Bruhn

Chairman
