[00:00:01]
MADELINE, IF YOU WANNA BEGIN, WE'RE ALL SET.
[H&LPB Meeting on July 14, 2020.]
MADELINE OSHA, I'M CHAIRMAN OF THE HISTORIC AND LANDMARKS PRESERVATION BOARD.UM, ARMENIA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START INTRODUCING YOURSELF? YES.
WHO ELSE IS THERE? BILL MORRIS, LONGTIME BOARD MEMBER, CORRECT.
SYLVIA, DO YOU WANNA INTRODUCE YOURSELF? YES.
UH, MY HUSBAND AND I OWN 1 0 2 EDGEMONT ROAD ON IN THE EDGEMONT SECTION OF SCARSDALE.
GLEN, DO YOU WANNA INTRODUCE YOURSELF? I'M LEN BRANDES, THE ARCHITECT FOR BOTH PROJECTS OF 1 0 2, UH, EDGEMONT ROAD AND SIX CARLISLE PLACE.
WE'RE THE OWNERS OF 53 SALEM ROAD.
I DO WANNA NOTE THAT THE 53 SALEM ROAD IS IN, UH, GREENBURG SECTION OF WHITE PLAIN.
I'M A MEMBER OF THE GREENBERG TOWN BOARD AND I'M AND LIAISON TO THIS BOARD.
I APOLOGIZE TO MY BOARD MEMBERS FOR, UM, NOT TELLING THEM BEFOREHAND THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE GUESTS, BUT IT WAS SUGGESTED TO ME THAT SINCE THERE ARE QUESTIONS ON ALL THREE, UH, PROJECTS, THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE, UM, DIDN'T RESOLVE OUR THOUGHTS OURSELVES.
SHE IS THE TOWN ACTING HISTORIAN.
I DON'T THINK HER AUDIO'S CONNECTED YET, LON.
AT ANY RATE, UM, WE WELCOME OUR GUESTS.
IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS OF THEM, FINE.
THEY WILL NOT BE MAKING A PRESENTATION, UM, BECAUSE I DID NOT FOREWARN YOU.
WE ALL HAVE SEEN THE PLANS AND WE HAVE, UM, COR OUR ARCHITECT.
WE HAVE GARRETT AND AARON, SO WE SHOULD BE IN PRETTY FINE SETTLE.
UM, IF CORT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN, UM, DISCUSSION ON SIX CARLISLE PLACE? SIX CARLISLE? WELL, I THINK IF WE HAVE A, UH, APPLICANTS, THEN THEY CAN SORT OF EXPLAIN, NO, I DON'T WANT, I DON'T WANT DO PRESENTATIONS.
IT'LL TAKE, WANT PRESENTATION TO THEM.
NO, UH, I THINK, UH, TO ME IT'S KIND OF, UH, LOOKS, UH, UH, THE HOUSE WAS KIND OF PROPERTY IN 1867 AND I THINK THEY HAVE SUBMITTED ALL THE INFORMATION TO IT.
UH, AND I THINK THE, UH, THE PLAN, I THINK WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO IS TO, UH, I THINK THE EXPANSION OF IT AND WHAT I UNDERSTAND AND, UH, TO ME IT LOOKS PRETTY, PRETTY OKAY.
THE, WHAT THEY ARE REALLY PLANNING TO DO AND MATCHES WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE, UH, PROPERTY THAT THEY HAVE.
SO I DON'T HAVE MUCH OBJECTION TO IT.
UM, I HAVE SOME, UM, SOME TIDYING UP THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FROM BOTH, UH, FROM THE ARCHITECT BECAUSE THE PAPER AND BE, AND PART OF THIS IS BECAUSE EVERY HOUSE THAT COMES BEFORE US GOES INTO A FILE AND I FEEL THAT WHAT WE LEAVE FOR FUTURE BOARDS SHOULD BE ACCURATE SO THAT, UM, THE PAPERWORK NEEDS SOME UPDATING BEFORE WE SHOULD REALLY SIGN OFF ON IT.
UM, FOR INSTANCE, THE APPLICATION FOR, UM, BEFORE THE EIGHT H AND L P B SAYS THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1867, WHICH IS FINE, BUT THEN THE WETLANDS WATERCOURSE PAPER SAYS IT WAS BUILT IN 1880.
I DON'T FEEL THAT WE CAN CHANGE IT.
I THINK THAT, UH, MR. BRANDEIS NEEDS TO CHANGE IT ALSO.
UM, I WOULD LIKE A A A, UM, ALMOST A WHITE LINE ON THE PICTURES ON WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL HOUSE.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S BEEN, UH, ALTERED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE THAT LITTLE SECTION, UM, SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT THE 1867 HOUSE MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE.
UM, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT FACADE MATERIALS
[00:05:01]
CURRENTLY EXIST AND WHICH ONES WILL BE USED.AND SINCE THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO NEED, UM, UM, VARIANCES, WE'LL HAVE TO PUT OUR BOARD DISCLAIMER IN THAT ANYTHING, UM, OUR DECISION IS IN, IN NO WAY REFLECTS WHAT THE ZONING BOARD WILL DO.
UM, ARMENIA, DO YOU WANNA, UH, COME IN ON THIS, PLEASE? I JUST WANT, UH, TO CLARIFY THAT THE ENTIRE EXTENSION THAT'S BEING SHOWN IS HAPPENING AT THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AND IS REALLY NOT BEING, IT WILL NOT CHANGE THE FACADE OF THE HOUSE, OR IT WILL CORRECT.
IT WILL NOT CHANGE THE FACADE THAT YOU SEE ON THE ROADSIDE AT ALL.
THE WHOLE CORNER, IT IS BEING PROTECTED, THE EXISTING.
WHAT, WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU PLAN TO USE MR. BRANDEIS? SIMILAR OR TOTALLY DIFFERENT? THAT'S TRUE.
WE ARE MATCHING THE EXISTING, UH, MATERIALS ON THE HOUSE.
THE SAME TYPE OF SIDING, THE SAME TYPE OF MATERIALS.
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GONNA USE UPGRADED WINDOWS, UH, FOR THE HOUSE ITSELF, BUT THAT WILL BE SIMILAR TO MATCH THE EXISTING.
THAT I, I, I AM LET ME, LET ME, UM, BRAG ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED LAST FRIDAY.
THE NEW YORK PRESERVATION LEAGUE SEEMS TO PREFER THAT OLD WINDOWS, WOODEN WINDOWS, SASH WINDOWS BE REHABILITATED AS OPPOSED TO BEING REPLACED.
WE, I'M JUST TELLING EVERYBODY WHAT I GOT FROM THE PRESERVATION LEAGUE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY INTERESTING IN LIGHT OF SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS THAT HAVE COME ACROSS OUR TRANSOM, BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE, UM, ITEMS ON, ON THEIR AGENDA.
UM, MR. BRANDEIS, WOULD YOU PLEASE, UH, CORRECT THE PAPERWORK BEFORE WE GIVE YOU THE GO AHEAD.
I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT DATES.
UH, YEAH, THE 13 YEAR DIFFERENCE IS A LITTLE ODD TO ME ALSO BECAUSE MAYBE IT JUST WASN'T EXISTING IN 1867 WHEN THEY FIRST BUILT THE HOUSE.
AND I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE HOUSE WAS EVEN BUILT IN THE SAME LOCATION.
UH, THERE, THERE'S NO FOUNDATION ON THIS HOUSE ON THE MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE ITSELF.
IT'S ALL JUST A SLAB ON GRADE, SO IT WAS A FARMHOUSE.
UH, ORIGINALLY IT'S THE MAIN BIG STRUCTURE AND PART OF THE GARAGE.
I CAN SHOW YOU IN PHOTOGRAPHS.
I CAN BRING THAT UP IF YOU'D LIKE.
UM, YOU WANNA SHARE THE SCREEN OR, UH, BUT, UH, I DID SHOW THAT I CAN CERTAINLY CHANGE OUT OR MATCH WHATEVER YOU NEED.
I CAN PUT IT DOWN TO 1880 IF YOU PREFER.
SO IT MATCHES YOUR, YOUR THE, UH, WATER COST DOCUMENTS.
I'M, I WON'T CHANGE IT FOR YOU.
I, I SHOULD, UM, YOU MAY CHANGE IT TO REFLECT ANYTHING EITHER OF THE TWO DATES THAT YOU WANT.
IF YOU HAVE REALLY OLD PHOTOGRAPHS, WE'D LOVE TO KEEP THEM IN THE FILE.
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY.
WHAT I DID WANNA MENTION ALSO THAT WITH THE WINDOWS, AND I UNDERSTAND THE GROUP, UH, CERTAINLY AGREE WITH THE NEW YORK PRESERVATION LEAGUE ON THAT.
'CAUSE I'VE WORKED WITH THEM IN THE PAST IN MANHATTAN.
UH, BUT IN THIS CASE, WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY WINDOWS ON THE EXISTING HOUSE.
THOSE ARE GONNA REMAIN, UH, AS THEY ARE.
WE ARE PUTTING ON IN, IN OUR ADDITION, AND WE'RE GOING TO USE THE SAME TYPE OF FRAMEWORK AND DETAIL AS THE EXISTING HOUSE.
AND YOU DO UNDERSTAND, UM, THAT WE HAVE TO PUT A DISCLAIMER IN SINCE WE HAVE NO, I DON'T WANNA, WE, WE DON'T, WE, WE HAVE NO, UM, NO, NO ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THE ZONING BOARD IN ANY WAY.
SO WE HAVE A STANDARD, UM, LINE THAT, UM, THE SECRETARY WILL PUT IN WHEN SHE SENDS YOU A LETTER ON WHAT OUR DECISION HAS BEEN.
AND THE VARIANCE, BY THE WAY, IS ACTUALLY FOR THE ROADS, THE DRIVEWAY THAT'S UP AGAINST THE PROPERTY LINE, WHICH THE EXISTING IS RIGHT NOW, AND WE'RE JUST CONTINUING THE DRIVEWAY.
OTHER THAN THAT, THERE SHOULD BE NO OTHER VARIANCES REQUIRED.
IT'S ONLY FOR THE DRIVEWAY ITSELF.
JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE THAT'S NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
UM, BILL QUESTIONS, ANSWERS, THOUGHTS? NO, EVERYTH.
UH, WHO DID I MISS HERE? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THEN.
UH, IS IT, HOW, SINCE YOU ARE THE OWNER, UH, SINCE YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS, UH, EXTENSIVE ADDITION, UH, IS THE, IS THE EXISTING HOUSE WOULD BE KIND OF COMPATIBLE IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND USABILITY, OR THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT IN THE NEXT PHASE? NO, WE'RE CONTINUING THE HOUSE CONS, UH, THE WAY IT IS.
SO IT'S THE ONE FLOWS INTO THE OTHER.
UH, WE BASICALLY CONNECTED THE SECOND FLOOR TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO IT GOES UP THE, THE MAIN STAIR ITSELF, WHICH IS THE EXISTING STAIR IS VERY AWKWARD RIGHT NOW.
IT'S, UH, VERY NARROW AND YOU HAVE
[00:10:01]
TO BEND DOWN AS YOU WALK UP THE STAIRS.SO WE ARE PUTTING A NEW STAIRCASE IN OUR NEW SECTION, AND IT TAKES US TO THE SAME LANDING AS THE OTHER BEDROOMS. SO WE'RE CONNECTING WITH THE HOUSE AND INTEGRATING THE HOUSE WITH THIS NEW SECTION.
SO WE ARE NOT MAKING MAJOR MODIFICATIONS AT ALL TO THE MAIN HOUSE.
BUT YOU'LL BE CLEAN UP AND RESTORING EXTERIOR SO THAT IT KIND OF LOOKS NOT A TWO DIFFERENT.
I DO, AARON, WE NEED TO MAKE A RESOLUTION ON THIS, DO WE NOT? OKAY.
WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE ARMENIA, DO YOU WANNA MAKE A RESO THANK YOU.
MAKE A RESOLUTION ON HOW YOU FEEL WE SHOULD GO IN, INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMER, WHICH CAROL WILL PUT IN.
I, I MOVED, I MOVED TO ISSUE A RESOLUTION ON THE, UH, ADDITION SHOWN FOR SIX CARLISLE.
I'LL SECOND AND, AND PUT IN THE ADDITION AND PUT IN THE RIGHT DISC, RIGHT? CORRECT.
AND I BETTER WRITE THAT DOWN SINCE WE DON'T HAVE CAROL TODAY.
DID YOU ALL, LOUISE, ARE YOU THERE? I KNOW SHE'S MUTED.
UH, MADELINE WELL, SHE'S ON, SHE'S ON MUTE.
IS IT, CAN SOMEBODY TAKE THE MUTE OFF HER FOR HER? YEAH.
AARON, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO UNMUTE? UH, LOUISE.
I'M TRYING, BUT AS A MATTER OF FACT, SHE HAS TO UNMUTE HERSELF.
LOUISE, IF YOU CAN HEAR US, CAN YOU UNMUTE YOURSELF? THERE SHOULD BE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A TELEPHONE OR A MIC THAT HAS A RED LINE THROUGH IT.
YOU WOULD JUST PUSH THAT BUTTON TO UNMUTE YOURSELF.
WE CAN, IF SHE HAS MADE HER FEELINGS.
SHE HAS WORKED WITH SYLVIA FOR SEVERAL WEEKS ON THIS.
UM, I'M UNCOMFORTABLE AGAIN, NOT WITH THE PROJECT, BUT WITH THE PAPERWORK, BECAUSE I DO KNOW THIS HOUSE.
I ADMIT TO LIVING IN EDGEMONT WHEN I CAN GET THERE.
UM, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE, UM, EARLY OLD EDGEMONT HOUSES, UM, A TREASURE BECAUSE, UM, THEY'RE NOT MANY OF THOSE LEFT, UH, AROUND.
UM, I, I, I, UM, I DID SHARE THIS WITH A FEW PEOPLE.
UM, MR. BRANDEIS, ONE OF THE PAGES OF YOUR PLANS SHOW, I BELIEVE IT'S TWO FIRST FLOORS OR TWO SECOND FLOORS.
AND NOT, I UNDERSTOOD WHAT I KNEW WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT, BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT WHAT I WAS GOING TO PUT INTO THE FILE WAS NOT GOING TO BE ACCURATE.
AND I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD FIX THAT.
UM, THIS ALSO, THIS HOUSE ALSO WILL NEED VARIANCES.
SO WHATEVER DECISION WE REACH, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE THE DISCLAIMER IN IT.
UM, I ALSO, UH, THINK THAT, UH, SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT SYLVIA HAS AMASSED ON THE HOUSE WOULD BE VERY GOOD TO PUT INTO THE FILE.
I MEAN, WE ALL HAVE READ LOUISE'S BOOK, WHICH I'M, AND I'M THIS HOUSE ALSO I THINK MIGHT APPEAR IN SURVEY BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE ORIGINAL SETTLING OF EDGEMONT.
UM, THE SMALL TUDORS WERE UNLIKE THE HOUSES IN COTSWOLD, WHICH CAME A BIT LATER.
UM, SO IF SYLVIA, IF YOU COULD, UM, WRITE OUT A COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS BECAUSE MR. BRANDI SAID THERE WAS NO HISTORY, I THINK, AND THERE IS, YOU'VE GOT IT.
LOUISE HAS IT JUST FOR THE FILE.
BUT I WOULD LIKE IT BEFORE, UM, ANY PERMITS ARE ISSUED, ET CETERA.
UM, UH, A COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS DESCRIBING THE HOUSE AND ITS PLACE IN EDGEMONT AND WHAT EDGEMONT WAS.
IT'S, YOU CAN PRETTY WELL, UM, TAKE IT OUT OF LOUISE'S BOOK OR ASK LOUISE TO HELP YOU.
EDGEMONT WAS SETTLED AT A CERTAIN TIME AND THE FIRST HOUSES BUILT W WERE YOUR H YOU, YOU KNOW, THE TUTORS, THE TUTOR REVIVALS OF THE EARLY TWENTIES.
YEAH, I HAVE, UM, I HAVE THE HISTORY BACK TO WHEN SCARSDALE EDGEMONT IS, UH, SCARSDALE ESTATES,
[00:15:01]
UM, UH, OWNED THE PROPERTY BEFORE IT WAS BUILT ON.SO I CAN PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER.
AND IF YOU COULD JUST HAND IT TO CAROL, SHE WILL THEN GET IT THROUGH, GET IT TO ALL OF US.
YOU CAN EMAIL, EMAIL HER AND YOU KNOW, THEN WE'RE OFF AND RUNNING WITH IT.
UM, SORRY LYNN, YOU WERE GONNA ADD SOMETHING? UH, YES, I ACTUALLY DID LOOK THROUGH THE SURVEY AND THE HOUSE IS NOT LISTED WITHIN THAT SURVEY.
I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T THINK SO, BUT OKAY.
THE FISHER LARSSON, CORRECT? YES.
HOWEVER, UH, LOUISE'S BOOK THE HISTORY OF EDGEMONT GREENVILLE DOES NOTE, DOES TALK ABOUT OLD EDGEMONT.
AND, AND LOUISE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH SYLVIA.
SO I THINK IT WOULD BE, UM, TO EVERYBODY'S BENEFIT.
I'M THINKING FUTURE BOARDS NOW TO EVERYBODY'S BENEFIT, UM, THAT, UH, WE HAVE SOME KIND OF HISTORY ATTACHED.
UM, LEN, ARE YOU GOING TO, YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO MAC THE, AT LEAST THE FRONT PORTION IS GOING TO, UM, MATCH AS CLOSELY TO WHAT EXISTS NOW? YES, WE'RE GONNA BE USING, UH, BOARDS AND STUCCO AND TEXTURE TO MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING WITH SOME STONE BASE TO MATCH THE EXISTING HOUSE.
THAT'LL BE ALL AROUND THE ADDITION ITSELF, NOT JUST THE, WELL THAT, WELL IT'S THE FRONT THAT CONCERNS US THE MOST, BUT, UM, THIS IS FINE.
AND, AND, AND THAT WE APPRECIATE.
UM, BEFORE, UM, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE, BUT BEFORE AARON, BEFORE ANYTHING GOES FURTHER, IF WE COULD GET, UM, THE CORRECTIONS TO ALL OF THE HOUSES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WOULD THAT BE OKAY BEFORE ANY, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS IN, WITH, WITH THE ZONING BOARD? I DON'T CARE IF THEY GO BEFORE THE ZONING BO BOARD, BUT BEFORE THEY UM, APPEAR BEFORE THE ZONING BOARD, OUR PAPERWORK SHOULD BE FINISHED.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO ALL, ALL REVISIONS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO CAROL WALKER FOR TOWN DEPARTMENT FILES.
UH, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE WINDOWS BEFORE WE GO.
UH, THE EXISTING WINDOWS ALL DOUBLE HUNG.
ARE YOU PUTTING IN CASEMENTS IN THE NEW ONE? UH, CASEMENTS IN THE UPPER FLOORS FOR EGRESS 'CAUSE IT IS A MASTER BEDROOM.
SO THOSE ARE NEW CASEMENT WINDOWS.
HOW ABOUT THE, THE FIRST FLOOR? IT DOESN'T, IT LOOKS LIKE A CASEMENT AS WELL.
UH, WELL THE FIRST FLOOR, THE EXISTING WINDOWS ON THAT AREA ARE, UH, OF CASEMENTS.
THEY'RE NOT DOUBLE HUNGS IN THE, I BELIEVE THEY ARE ON THE DINING ROOM.
ARE ARE YOU PLANNING ON REUSING THE EXISTING UH, NO.
THE EXISTING WINDOWS ARE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE, BUT I DUNNO IF YOU MADE IT TO THE HOUSE ITSELF.
BUT, UH, THE RACK OF WINDOWS, THE WAY THE WHOLE FLOOR IS RACKED OVER THERE FROM ONE SIDE OF THE WINDOWS TO THE OTHER IS ABOUT SIX INCHES OFF.
SO EVERYTHING'S ALL TWISTED AND TURNED.
UH, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE ARE GONNA BE DOING THIS ADDITION.
THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS IS REALLY TO TAKE IT DOWN AND REBUILD IT.
AND WE LOSE THE SIZE IS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, I TRIED TO SHOW THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY BULGING OUT, UH, ON THAT SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHERE WE'RE TAKING IT DOWN TO REBUILD.
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? YEAH, I HAVE A, I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE FRONT ELEVATION WHERE, UH, YOU HAVE THE MOST OF THE FIRST FLOOR HAS A BRICK, UH, OLD BRICK, UH, UH, AT A FIRST FLOOR AND THEN YOU HAVE A STUCCO ON A SECOND FLOOR.
WELL THE ADDITIONS THAT YOU HAVE, PARTICULARLY ON THE FIRST FLOOR, IT LOOKS LIKE UH, YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO UH, PUT A STUCCO.
AND I WAS JUST WONDERING, CAN YOU MATCH THAT? UH, OR THERE IS SOME REASON TO DO THAT? WELL, I KNOW THAT TO MATCH THAT BRICK AT THIS TIME, 'CAUSE I'VE TRIED TO MATCH OTHER BRICK HOUSES HAS BEEN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
UH, I HAVE FOUND ANTIQUE BRICK WITH SOME OF THE WORK I'VE DONE HERE IN SCARSDALE ON THE VILLAGE.
AND UH, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO MATCH THAT.
UH, I CAN MATCH THE, UH, STUCCO FAIRLY WELL AND I CAN MATCH THE WOOD BEAMS FAIRLY WELL.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE BETTER TO BE ABLE TO TRY TO MATCH SOMETHING THAT DOES WORK WITH THE HOUSE ITSELF.
IT'S HARD TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA LOOK VERY ALIEN.
UH, I CAN DO A STONE BASE SO IT MATCHES PART OF THE BACK OF THE HOUSE WHERE THE STONE IS BEING USED AROUND THE, UH, LEFT SIDE AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS I SENT.
YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE A LOT OF STONE BASE IN THERE.
SO I THOUGHT WORKING WITH THE STONE AND STUCCO WOULD BE A LOT EASIER TO MATCH.
SO IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL HOUSE.
I DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE WE EDIT SOMETHING ONTO IT SINCE IT IS AN EXISTING SPACE IN A SENSE.
HER, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH, I THINK IT'S BETTER TO DO A, UH, MATCH WITH WHAT'S EXISTING RATHER THAN TO HAVE A UNMATCHED BRICK FACADE.
SO I AGREE PARTICULARLY IN THE FRONT.
[00:20:01]
I WOULD I THAT I IT'S THE FRONT OF EACH HOUSE THAT WE'RE SO INTERESTED IN PRESERVING.BECAUSE THAT SHOWS THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I, I WANNA KNOW ON THE FRONT FACADE AGAIN WHERE YOU SHOW IN THE ROOF LINE, WHICH IS THOSE VERTICAL LINES.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT ROOF TO ME? UH, THAT WOULD BE, 'CAUSE IT'S A SHALLOW ROOF.
I WAS GONNA USE A COPPER ROOF OVER THERE BECAUSE WE'RE EXTENDING OUT THE DINING ROOM A LITTLE BIT.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THIS BIG BULKY THING BUILT ONTO THE HOUSE.
UH, WE ARE EXTENDING THE HOUSE OUT, SO BY HAVING THAT, THAT LITTLE AREA'S, A A COPPER ROOF.
SO THAT WILL BLEND IN WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS.
IT'LL BLEND IN WITH THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DIANA, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR, OR ANYTHING? NO, I'M GOOD.
IT SOUNDS, IT SOUNDS, IT SOUNDS GOOD.
UM, MAY I GET A RESOLUTION, UH, TO ACCEPT THIS WITH, WITH THE, UM, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WE'VE ASKED FOR, INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMER? UM, AND WE'LL I'LL REPEAT AT THE END.
UM, THAT IT HAS, EVERYTHING HAS TO BE INTO US BEFORE THEY GO TO THE ZONING BOARD.
MAY I HAVE A, A RESOLUTION PLEASE? I MOVE.
I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS.
WHEN I GET HOME, I'M COMING PAST, SINCE THAT'S THE WAY I COME UP FROM SCARSDALE VILLAGE.
THANK YOU ALL KEEPING THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOO.
PARDON ME? I SAID THANK YOU FOR, TO THE ARCHITECT FOR KEEPING AND THE, AND THE OWNERS TO KEEPING THE BEAUTY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HELLO EDDIE HAYES AND HEATHER RETI.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE OUR, UM, ENGINEER THAT JOINED THE CALL AS WELL.
UM, I ACTUALLY HAVE A HARD STOP IN A FEW MINUTES, BUT HEATHER AND KEN WILL BE ON THE LINE AND WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
UM, MY, MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHERE'S THE WETLANDS AND WATER COSTS FORM? DID YOU FILL IT OUT? YES.
THE, IT IS IN WITH THE, UH, WITH THE, THE TOWN OF, UH, GREENBURG.
I THOUGHT IT WAS FORWARDED BY CAROL WALKER BECAUSE I SENT IT TO HER.
IN FACT, I HAD SENT HER THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION FROM SOMETIME LAST YEAR FIRST, AND THEN REALIZED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A NEW SUBMISSION THROUGH MR. DE JANEIRO'S OFFICE AND FORWARDED THAT TO MS. WALKER AS WELL.
SO WE CAN CERTAINLY GET THAT OFF TO THE BOARD.
BUT IT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT.
I DO READ WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M SENT.
UM, I WILL, IF AARON, I I NEED A HARD COPY IF IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO YOU PLEASE.
SO THAT I CAN KEEP IT IN MY FILE.
'CAUSE I KEEP A FILE OF ALL THESE HOUSES ALSO FOR FUTURE RENT.
WE'LL HAVE, WE'LL HAVE CAROL WALKER SEND ONE DOWN.
UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS OF HEATHER OR KEN.
UM, NONE OF THE 1936 EXTERIOR IS BEING KEPT OR AM I OR AM I JUST NOT SEEING IT? IT'S ALL BEING REMOVED, CORRECT? YEAH, IT'S THE, THE PLAN IS TO REPLACE THE EXTERIOR, WHICH, UM, WITH SIDING.
I, THAT BEING THE CASE, I WOULD THINK THAT WE COULD USE, UM, BETTER PICTURES.
NOT THAT I COULDN'T SEE WHAT THE OLD PART OF THE HOUSE LOOKED LIKE, BUT, UM, THERE ARE BUSHES THAT ARE IN THEIR WAY.
I'M, I'M ASSUMING AT SOME POINT THOSE BUSHES WILL BE TRANSPLANTED BECAUSE THEY WILL BE IN THE WAY OF THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION.
I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER FULL SET OF PLANS OF PICTURES SO THAT WE CAN PUT THEM IN THE FILE.
EVERYTHING, EVERY, EVERYTHING ABOUT THE 1936 HOUSE IS BEING OBLITERATED, THEREFORE WE SHOULD KNOW FOR OUR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE WHAT WAS THERE.
AND UM, AGAIN, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED VARIANCES, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE OUR DISCLAIMER IN ANYTHING THAT'S WRITTEN TO YOU.
AND AGAIN, UM, PLEASE FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE PICTURES IF YOU DO
[00:25:01]
NEED VARIANCES BEFORE YOU GET TO THE ZONING BOARD FOR THE BEST, THE BEST WAY TO DELIVER THE PICTURES.SHOULD, SHOULD WE DO IT ON A SB DUN DRIVE AND, AND SEND IT TO THE, UM, TO THE BOARD? OR SHOULD WE SEND IT VIA EMAIL? WHAT WOULD BARRON, YOU MAY EMAIL THEM IN TO THE, TO THE DEPARTMENT THROUGH CAROL WALKER.
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT, UM, MAYBE IT'S TWO OR THREE AT A TIME ONLY BECAUSE USUALLY AROUND 10, 12 MBS THEY START TO BOUNCE BACK.
AND WOULD YOU NEED PICTURES OF THE INTERIOR OF THE, OF THE HOUSES WHILE WE'RE JUST THE EXTERIOR? IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT PREDATES ANY RENOVATIONS? YES.
IF YOU HAVE THE WIDE PLANK FLOORS.
THAT'S THE KIND OF OF INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO KEEP AT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD'VE LIKED TO KEEP SOMETHING, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO RENOVATE TOTALLY, THEN THIS IS WHAT IT USED TO BE AND IT HAS JUST GONE THROUGH SOME RENOVATIONS PRIOR TO US OWNING IT.
ARE YOU, UM, DID I HEAR YOU? I'M SORRY.
WHAT'S THAT? MADELINE, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE FRONT ELEVATION IF YOU DON'T MIND.
ON THE FRONT ELEVATION, YOU'RE SHOWING THE RIDGE VENTS ON ALL THE NEW, UM, AND IT JUST SHOWS SO MANY HEIGHTS OF THE DIFFERENT ROOF LINES.
IS THERE A REASON WHY THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS SO LOW? I BELIEVE THAT'S IN THE AREA OF THE ADDITION AND THE ADDITION IS ONLY ONE STORY, SO THAT'S JUST A KIND OF A CRICKET ROOF TO WORK THE RIDGE LINES FROM THE EXISTING TO THE PROPOSED.
AND THEN WHY IS THE NEXT TO THE, SO THE ONE ON THE EXTREME LEFT HAND SIDE, WHY IS THAT SO HIGH THEN? UM, THAT, I'D HAVE TO CHECK.
THAT'S GOING OVER THE OLD GARAGE.
GARAGE OVER THE GARAGE, CORRECT? YES.
YEAH, IT'S JUST, I DON'T KNOW, I, THOSE TWO LINES JUST DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE, I DON'T KNOW, THE THREE DIFFERENT, THE FOUR DIFFERENT ROOF LINE HEIGHTS JUST KIND OF THROW THE WHOLE THING OFF TO ME ANYWAY.
I'M JUST WONDERING ABOUT THEM, BUT OKAY.
WELL THE MIDDLE ONE IS A PROMINENT ONE THAT'S EXISTING THE, UH, THAT'S EXISTING.
SO MATCH THE LOWER HEIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE TO ON THE LEFT.
IT, IT WOULD JUST BE MORE VISUALLY APPEALING, I THINK FROM THE ROADSIDE.
AND AGAIN, I BELIEVE THAT RIDGE OVER THE GARAGE YEAH.
MATCHES THE RIDGE ON THE EXTREME LEFT.
SO YOU HAVE THE HIGHER RIDGE IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH IS EXISTING.
AND THEN THE SMALLER RIDGE, THAT'S KIND OF A VALLEY IN BETWEEN THE, THE GARAGE AND, UM, AND THE MAIN, UH, DORMER OF THE SECOND STORY.
SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S MORE OF JUST A CRICKET ROOF TO WORK THE DRAINAGE IN BETWEEN THE TWO STRUCTURES.
I THINK THERE'S ALREADY AN EXISTING ROOF THOUGH BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND THE HOUSE.
SO THAT ROOF IS ALSO EXISTING, WHICH IS A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE, THE, THE MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS EVER AN ADDITION AT ANY POINT, BUT, UM, I DON'T THINK SO THOUGH.
IT'S, IT'S JUST THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE, THE EXISTING ROOF LINE.
DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT? YEAH, I THINK I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
IS, UM, THE WHOLE HOUSE GOING BE HAVING NEW ROOF AND NEW SIDING AND, AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE COMPLETELY, UH, NEW, CORRECT? IT LOOKS LIKE
THERE'S GONNA BE, UM, A NEW ROOF, A NEW SIDING.
WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP I THINK AS MANY WINDOWS.
THE WINDOWS IN THE HOUSE ARE FAIRLY NEW.
UM, SO THE GOAL IS TO NOT REPLACE THE WINDOWS IF THEY'RE NOT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE NEWER WINDOWS.
AND ALSO THE WHAT KIND OF SIDING IS, UM, I DON'T THINK WE'VE DECIDED, I DON'T KNOW, KEN, IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THAT INFORMATION.
AGAIN, THIS IS GOING TO GET COME DOWN TO BUDGET.
I KNOW WHEN WE, WHEN WE SPOKE, BUT I, ON THE PLANS IT'S JUST INDICATED AS VINYL SIDING FOR NOW.
AND THAT WOULD JUST DEFERRED OUT OVER THE EXISTING CONCRETE, UM, BUILDING WALLS.
IT'S A PLASTER OR A CONCRETE, THE WALL LOOKS LIKE A PLASTER OR
[00:30:02]
PLASTER OR DIMPLES FROM THE STONE.I I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PLASTER OR IF IT'S CONCRETE.
THE WALLS ARE ARE FULL CONCRETE.
IT'S NOT EASY, IT'S NOT EASY TO, UM, TO CHANGE IT.
AND MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT YOU DO WHATEVER THE COLOR OR THE MATERIAL OF SIDING, UH, TO MATCH WITH, UH, SORT OF SURROUNDING HOUSES OR THE NEIGHBORS.
SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE KIND OF A FLOPPED UP IN A OKAY.
SO, UH, IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU CAN PROVIDE SOME MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, PARTICULARLY WHERE YOU PUT A CORNER MOLDING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO COLOR THE CORNER MOLDING, LIKE YOU HAVE CORNER MOLDING.
YEAH, THEY HAVE LIKE A WHERE, WHERE THE, YOUR SIDING YOU TURN INTO.
I THINK WE WERE LOOKING AT MAYBE A HISTORICAL BLUE FOR THE SIDING.
SO IF YOU CAN SUBMIT, THAT'LL BE KIND OF GOOD WHEN YOU ADD, WHEN YOU ADD TO, UM, WHAT WE'VE ALREADY ASKED YOU, UM, THE BETTER PICTURES, ET CETERA.
PERHAPS YOU'LL ALSO, UM, ADD WHAT COR IS ASKED IS, IS DISCUSSING WITH YOU IF YOU'VE REACHED THAT CONCLUSION ON WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO, UM, UH, PUT FOR THE FACIA OF THE HOUSE.
AND I'M, I'M JUST PRESUMING THAT IT WILL BLEND IN WITH THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE GOALS OF MOST OF THE BOARDS IN TOWN.
I MEAN, OUR GOAL IS NOT TO STAND OUT
UM, GIVEN ALL THE, GIVEN THE FACT WE NEED BETTER PICTURES, WE NEED, UM, WE NEED A DISCLAIMER.
MAY UM, MAY I HAVE, UM, A VOTE, UH, A RESOLUTION ON THIS HOUSE? PLEASE MOVE WE ACCEPT.
I'LL TALK TO YOU, I'LL TALK TO CAROL ABOUT THIS AND PROBABLY BRING YOU INTO IT ALSO.
AND AS SOON AS OUR OFFICE RECEIVES THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE SIGN OFF FROM H AND L P V, WE CAN RELEASE THE WETLAND WATERCOURSE CLEARANCE FORM SO THAT, UM, YOU CAN CONTINUE.
I KNOW YOU'RE HEADED TO THE ZONING BOARD AND I SPOKE WITH MR. DE JANERO ABOUT THAT AND YOU'RE FREE TO DO SO, BUT PLEASE ENSURE THAT THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS SUBMITTED IN A TIMELY FASHION.
YEAH, WE'LL GET THAT OVER TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SO WE'LL GET THOSE PICTURES.
YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF MAKING THE DECISION ON THE EXTERIOR, I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHEN, WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE THAT DECISION, YOU KNOW, BUT WE CAN GET THOSE PICTURES IN, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE EXTERIOR IS A BIGGER DECISION BECAUSE IT'S UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO, IT'S SO DIFFERENT.
UM, IT'S NOT JUST AN EASY SIDING, IT'S A PROCESS.
UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AND FOR SHARING, UM, YOUR INPUT WITH US.
UM, NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS THANK YOU IS A DISCUSSION OF LAST FRIDAY'S MEETING.
UM, KI DID YOU EVER GET TO, TO SEE IT? UH, I TOOK THE TWO SEMINARS BY PRESERVATION LEAGUE FOR CREDIT, UH, FOR THE COMMERCIAL.
THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE ALLUDING TO? YEAH.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT THE PRESERVATION LEAGUE GAVE LAST FRIDAY AND IS GIVING A SECOND PART OF IT NEXT FRIDAY OR THIS COMING FRIDAY, THE END OF THE WEEK.
UH, BECAUSE I TOOK TWO AND THAT WAS ABOUT THE, UH, CREDIT THAT, UH, COMMERCIAL.
THE COMMERCIAL OR MAYBE THAT'S A DIFFERENT ONE.
UM, ACCORDING TO NEW YORK STATE RULES, UH, SINCE WE'RE WE'RE A BOARD, WE'RE CONSIDERED SORT OF A QUASI LAND USE BOARD AND THEREFORE WE NEED FOUR TO SIX HOURS OF IN-SERVICE COURSES A YEAR.
I WILL TELL YOU, I I ENJOY, I MEAN, THREE HOURS IS A LITTLE LONG.
UM, OF COURSE IT WOULD'VE BEEN SIX HOURS WITH A BREAK FOR LUNCH IF WE'D BEEN ABLE TO DO IT IN MAY.
UM, WHAT I FOUND, AND I THINK WE ALL SHOULD BE VERY PLEASED WITH OURSELVES, IS THAT MOST OF OUR LEGISLATION TIES RIGHT
[00:35:01]
INTO THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIORS GUIDELINES.THEY HAVE 10 GUIDELINES, WHICH I HAD ASKED CAROL TO, UM, SEND A LINK TO YOU ALL AND WE'RE GONNA PRINT IT OUT DOWN HERE.
UM, AND I WAS VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE MET MOST OF THE CRITERIA THAT THEY WERE, UH, TALKING ABOUT AT THAT MEETING.
UM, THEY'RE VERY BIG ON REHAB AS OPPOSED TO DEMOLITION, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A FOCUS OF US AS WELL.
I E WHAT WE JUST, UM, AGREED TO.
UM, WHAT I FOUND VERY INTERESTING WAS THE LAST, UM, PRESENTER TALKED ABOUT WINDOWS AND WINDOWS AND WINDOWS AND WINDOWS AND THE LEAGUE SEEMS TO BE AN AGREEMENT WITH HIM THAT, UM, YOU REHAB A WINDOW, YOU TRY VERY HARD NOT TO REPLACE IT.
AND IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE, THE CHASE BANK IN HARTSDALE ACROSS FROM THE RAILROAD STATION, THEY WANTED WIPE OUT THOSE.
I DON'T, I THINK THEY'RE 1940S WINDOWS MAYBE.
THEY CERTAINLY WERE NOT WHEN THE BUILDING WAS BUILT, I DON'T THINK.
UM, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN BACK TO US, BUT WE PROBABLY, IF THEY WERE TO COME BACK, UM, WE WOULD SUGGEST RATHER STRONGLY THAT THEY REHAB THOSE WINDOWS BECAUSE THEY WILL CHANGE THE LOOK OF THAT BRICK BUILDING.
UM, AND THEY, THEY HAD EXAMPLES.
I I THEY SAID IF WE HAD BEEN IN A, YOU KNOW, TOGETHER AS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO, THAT THE GENTLEMAN TALKING ABOUT WINDOWS WOULD'VE HANDED OUT ALL SORTS OF SAMPLES FOR US TO TOUCH AND FEEL AND LOOK AT AND TAKE APART, UM, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A, YOU KNOW, SHOW AND TELL REAL GOOD SHOW AND TELL.
UM, DID ANYBODY ELSE, UM, TUNE IN OR IS ARE ANYBODY GONNA THIS COMING FRIDAY? SO I, I WANNA TELL YOU THAT I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THEM SINCE I MISSED FRIDAY AND THEY GAVE ME THE LINK TO BE ABLE TO DO IT REMOTELY, UM, BEFORE FRIDAY BECAUSE SHE DID SAY WHILE THE FRIDAY, THE UPCOMING ONE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT WOULD HELP IF I WATCHED LAST FRIDAY AND I WILL BE DOING THAT BEFORE THE FRIDAY ONE THIS WEEK.
SO I'LL GET, I'LL GET THAT THREE HOURS IN AND I'LL GET THIS THE FRIDAY'S THREE HOURS IN.
ARMENIA, I REALLY WAS FASCINATED AND THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL THAT I LEARNED.
UM, SOME TWO OUT OF THE THREE PRESENTERS WERE PHENOMENAL.
THE LAST ONE WINDOWS, HIS TECHNIQUE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE UPBEAT, BUT IT WAS FINE.
IT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS VERY WORTH.
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO FRIDAY AS WELL.
UH, THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT FOR US TO SUBMIT TO THE STATE, BUT IN THE EVENT THEY ASK, WE WANNA BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT PROOF.
SO ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE, IT WILL BE HELPFUL AND CAROL CAN JUST POP THOSE INTO A FILE IN THE EVENT WE'RE ASKED DOWN THE ROAD.
UM, UM, ACTUALLY I'LL SEND MY RECEIPT, AARON, BECAUSE I CAME A JO, I WAS A JOHNNY COME LATELY.
UM, BUT UH, I THINK THEY SAID THEY WERE ISSUING IF YOU CHECK THE LITTLE BOX, A CERTIFICATE TO SAY THAT YOU HAD PARTICIPATED.
AND I THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD BE GOOD BECAUSE YES, WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE STATE IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER WHEN THEY SEND US AN ACCOUNTING SHEET.
ONE OF THE LAST ITEMS, HOW MANY OF YOUR BOARD ATTENDED AND HOW MANY HOURS? SO WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO NEW YORK STATE.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE OTHER BOARDS ARE.
UM, YES, THE OTHER BOARDS ARE, UM, TO A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT, BUT, UM, TO HAVE THOSE DOCUMENTS IN FILE ARE GONNA BE VERY HELPFUL IN THE EVENT WHERE, YOU KNOW, REQUESTED FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IT'S GOOD FOR US TO HAVE THAT SO WE CAN JUST RIFLE IT OFF BY EMAIL OVER TO THE STATE TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YES, OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ATTAINED THE REQUIRED MINIMUM EDUCATION CREDITS.
I WILL, UM, ALSO WHAT I DID WAS I THANKED, UM, CHRIS INGLE ON BEHALF OF H AND L P B AND, AND TOLD HER THAT SEVERAL MEMBERS HAD PARTICIPATED, ET CETERA.
AND WHEN I, I THINK THE POLITE THING TO DO WOULD BE TO DO IT AGAIN THIS FRIDAY AND I WILL ASK HER FOR, UM, CERTIFICATES FOR ALL OF OUR MEMBERS WHO ATTENDED.
THE NEXT, WELL I I DID GO MADELINE, I TOOK A TWO SEMINARS, ONE
[00:40:01]
ON UH, UH, JUNE 29 AND ONE ON JUNE 1ST, I THINK, AND THAT WAS A, UH, ABOUT THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM.SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT COUNTS FOR YES, IT DOES.
SO I GOT THE CERTIFICATE FOR THAT TOO.
JUST, JUST FORWARD THOSE IN TO CAROL WALKER.
AND I THINK, UH, YOU HAVE FOR THE NEXT FRIDAY, UH, INFORMATION, MADELINE, IF YOU CAN SEND IT TO ME OR IF YOU EMAIL CAROL BECAUSE SHE HAS TO PUT YOU ON THE LIST AND THEY'LL SEND YOU THE CODE TO ZOOM IN.
YOU KNOW, COMPUTERS AND I HAVE A INTERESTING RELATIONSHIP, UM, CARNEGIE HOUSE, LORD HELP US.
UM, I HAD ASKED MATT, WHOSE LAST NAME, I'M SORRY I FORGET AT THE MOMENT, UM, TO HELP FILL OUT THE LOCAL, UM, DESIGNATION FORM AND I'M SURE HE'S BEEN VERY BUSY.
I RESENT THAT EMAIL TO HIM BECAUSE I CAN'T DO IT MYSELF SINCE EVERYTHING IS UP IN THE PLANNING OFFICE, ALL THE BOOKS, BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA WANT THE PAGES FROM WHICH WE GET OUR INFORMATION AND THEY WANT A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S SITTING AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, UM, THE ONLY OTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION I HAVE, AND I REALLY THOUGHT HE'D BE WITH US TODAY, IS THAT CHRIS HOFFMAN HAS MOVED TO GREENWICH WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HAS SUBMITTED A RESIGNATION, WHICH WE NEED TO ACCEPT WITH THE PROVISO THAT IF AND WHEN HE MOVES BACK INTO GREENBERG, THAT WE GET HIM AGAIN.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO REPLACE HIM.
AND I'D LIKE US ALL TO THINK OF SOMEBODY WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH WHO WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION TO OUR BOARD.
UM, PREFERABLY WITH NO POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS.
I DON'T THINK H AND L P B IS A STEPPING STONE TO, UM, ANYTHING, ANYTHING ELSE THAN JUST WORKING TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF GREENBERG.
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT, BUT I I I REALLY FEEL THAT WE, WE ARE, WE'RE INDEPENDENT.
WE'RE WORKING VERY HARD TO PRESERVE GREENBERG.
UM, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I BRAGGED ABOUT A, SOMEBODY DOWN HERE SAID SOMETHING AND I SAID, OH NO, I LIVE IN A TOWN THAT'S DEAD CENTER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THEREFORE I HAD A GOOD TIME BRAGGING ABOUT US.
UM, BUT I WISH YOU WOULD ALL TRY TO, UM, FIND SOMEBODY YOU THINK WE WOULD ENJOY WORKING WITH AND WHO WOULD ENJOY US AND ENJOY WHAT WE DO.
UM, BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO SEE OUR NUMBERS DWINDLE.
SO I GIVE YOU THAT AS HOMEWORK.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT BY NEXT MONTH, BUT LET'S DO IT IN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE MONTHS SO THAT WE HA WE CAN GET, UM, WE'RE GONNA NEED A RESUME AND WE'RE GONNA NEED AN INTERVIEW AND THEN THE TOWN BOARD IS GOING TO NEED TO INTERVIEW ALSO.
AND MAYBE BY SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER IT COULD BE IN PERSON.
WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT? SO ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, ANY OTHER ITEMS OR ANY OLD OR NEW BUSINESS TO BRING BEFORE US? ARMENIA? NO, I DON'T ACTUALLY.
DIANA, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP US WITH? NO, OTHER THAN THEY HAD TO RE-SCHEDULE COLONIAL DAY TILL, TILL NEXT YEAR.
OH REALLY? FOR THE, WELL THAT WAS THE
AND THAT'S, THAT'S JUST BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION AND UH, WHICH IT MADE SENSE, BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW, DID THEY, UM, MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER.
HAS ANYTHING PROGRESSED AS FAR AS THE CONTENTS OF THE HOUSE OR THE CONTENTS OF THE PODS? I DON'T THINK SO.
BILL, ARE YOU AWARE OF ANYTHING ELSE? I DON'T, YEAH, THEY'VE HAD PEOPLE GO THROUGH IT ALL SO THEY KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S THERE.
THEY WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE HOUSE AND THEY ALSO WENT THROUGH THAT, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? A POD IN THE BACK.
SO THERE'S SOME VERY INTERESTING, VALUABLE STUFF.
THEY'RE TRYING, TRYING TO GET THE, THE, THE LAW, THE THE GUY FROM UH, DOS FERRY WHO'S AN ARCHITECT WHO'S VERY GOOD, STEVE KELLY, HE'S, HE'S LOOKED AT EVERYTHING TOO.
SO I THINK THEY'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND REDO THE THING PRETTY SOON.
BILL KIDS, THE, THE MATERIAL, THE, UM, THE UM, ARTIFACTS IN THE PODS.
[00:45:01]
TO SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION? BOB STACKPOLE OR ODELL HOUSE? WELL, WE'RE JUST ASSUMING THEY BELONG TO ODELL HOUSE.THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE ASSUMING THAT AND UH, I THINK THERE'S SOME GOOD, UH, WHAT IS IT? VIBES WITH THE SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE OTHER GROUP THAT THEY, THEY'RE ACTUALLY SUPPORTING, RIGHT? THE FRIENDS.
THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT SUSAN, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT SUSAN SAID AT THE MEETING.
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING'S GONE PRETTY SMOOTHLY, EXCEPT OF COURSE THE VIRUS AND WELL, YES.
SO, UM, WHEN DO WE KNOW WHEN STEVE WILL, TILLY WILL COME UP WITH, UM, HIS PLAN FOR, UM, STABILIZING THE HOUSE BEFORE ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO IT IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
AFTER THE VIRUS, IN OTHER WORDS AND, NO, I THINK, I THINK I'LL SUBMIT THE PLAN BEFORE THAT, BUT OKAY.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED? THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK SOMETHING OUT, I THINK WITH STEVE TO GET IT, TO GET IT DONE SO THAT THE SHORING CAN ACTUALLY START, BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO MOVE CERTAIN THINGS OUT IN ORDER TO DO THE SHORING ON THE LOWER LEVEL AND THEN, AND THEN TAKE CARE OF THE, THE UPPER LEVEL.
THAT WAS, THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING AT THE MEETING.
I'M, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S AND DOING IT AS FAST AS IT CAN BE DONE.
WELL, WE HAVE YET TO GET HURRICANE SEASON AND THEN THE WINTER AND I'M JUST HOPING IT CAN BE STABILIZED BEFORE THOSE TWO EVENTS.
IS THAT, WELL, IT'S CREATED FOR WHAT, 102 HUNDRED YEARS
WELL, IT, IT'S, IT'S DETERIORATED.
UM, AND I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE ANYTHING HAPPEN TO IT.
IS THERE ANY OLD BUSINESS OR ANY OTHER ITEMS TO COME BEFORE US? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? NO, I THINK THEY'RE GONNA PUT SIGNAGE ON MADELINE.
I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT IT, UH, ON THE OUTSIDE SO THAT PEOPLE WILL BE AWARE, UH, THAT IT'S BEING RENOVATED AND THAT SIGNAGE ABOUT THE HOUSE, WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE NICE.
AS I SAID, I HAD NOT BEEN IN TOUCH WITH SUSAN FOR THIS MEETING.
I USUALLY TRY TO, BUT SOMETIMES I DO GET OVERWHELMED.
UM, IF, IF THERE'S NO OLD BUSINESS, IS THERE ANY NEW BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE US? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY METAL ON.
IF THAT'S ALL, IF THAT'S ALL THEN I THINK WE'VE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
DON'T ASK ME WHERE I'LL SEE YOU FROM
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK, MADELINE.
