MANSFIELD HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION

                                                            October 10, 2006

 

 

Members attending: I. Atwood, G. Bruhn, J. Newmyer, D. Spencer

 

Public Hearing: Susannah Richards presented plans for the construction of a shed at her property at 974 Storrs Rd., which is part of the Spring Hill Historic District.  Her application for a certificate of appropriateness delineated a l0 x 20 x 10 ft. wooden shed, with a brown metal roof like that of the house, with a 4 ft. wide barn style door.  The windows on the side are old barn sash; after some discussion it was decided that the front window over the door pictured in the sketch will be eliminated.  The roof will have a l ft. gable overhang.  The application for the certificate of appropriateness was unanimously approved.

 

Charles Prewitt appeared before the Commission to discuss a change in the garage door at 98 Mansfield Hollow Rd., which is in the Mansfield Hollow Historic District.  A public hearing will be called for 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 15 on this issue.

 

The minutes of the September 12 meeting were approved.

 

Lon Hultgren appeared before the Commission to discuss replacing the bridge on Dodd Rd.

The project will not be undertaken until sometime next year.  The bridge will be a pre-cast concrete arch very similar to the one now in place with cable guardrails.  The project will not require Historic District Commission approval.

 

Lon also discussed repairing the walking paths in Mansfield Center, some of which have problem areas.  Lon will draw up some proposals to bring to the Commission at some future point. He will consult Rudy Favretti on possible solutions as well.

 

The next meeting will be held on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 because of member conflicts with the usual Tuesday, November 14 meeting.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

Jody Newmyer

Clerk
