favor, motion passes.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None.
COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS: Mr. Moyer commented that nearly every project in the last few
years is painted white. Because of this he thought it was hard for someone to distinguish between the
historic asset and the new addition. He suggested the idea of having HPC ask to have shadow lines or
detail lines painted on historic assets. He showed an example of this and explained how it would help
tell the two structures apart.
Ms. Pitchford joined the meeting at 4:35pm.
Mr. Fornell recalled that there was a time when this board dictated colors and at some point, that came
to an end. He said he would not mind knowing why. Mr. Moyer said he did not think they should dictate
colors.
Ms. Thompson agreed and understood the challenge.
Mr. Moyer then asked how things were going in putting together a maintenance manual for
homeowners of historic assets. Ms. Feinberg Lopez said that topic was scheduled for a work session in
October. Mr. Moyer then asked how things were coming along on the brick buildings that are painted.
Ms. Feinberg Lopez said that a report was delivered in January of 2020, has been reviewed and is ready
for the HPC members to see. Ms. Thompson asked if it could be put on the same work session as the
maintenance plan. Ms. Feinberg Lopez said yes.
DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: None.
PROJECT MONITORING: None.
STAFF COMMENTS: None.

NEW BUSINESS:
312 W. Hyman – Final Review
Applicant Presentation: Jeffrey Woodruff - Cloud Hill Design / David & Lyana Tarrab – Applicants
Mr. Woodruff introduced himself and the applicants; David and Lyana Tarrab. He stated that he would
be covering the nine items that were brought up in the conceptual approval. He presented these items
and then went thought each of them. These included the drainage and utility plans, a detailed Roof Plan,
details on the chimney, skylight shading, and garage overhangs and window elements.
Ms. Pitchford left the meeting at 5:00pm.
Mr. Moyer asked about the materials for the proposed chimney. Mr. Woodruff explained that it would
not be functional, and they would be replicating the look of the existing chimney.
Ms. Thompson asked for some more information on the garage and fence design and about the grading
of the lot. Mr. Woodruff went over these questions and provided details.
Staff Presentation: Natalie Feinberg Lopez - Principal Planner Historic Preservation
Ms. Feinberg Lopez started by going over staff referral comments and stated that each one had been
met by the applicant team. She then went over the staff recommendations.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None.
BOARD DISCUSSION:
Ms. Thompson reviewed the discussion topics and items that the applicant had revised since conceptual
approval, as well as final review items such as fenestration, materials, and landscaping.
Mr. Fornell mentioned that he was asked by a member of the public if the location of the garage had
moved from conceptual to final. He stated that from his review of the plans it did not appear to have
moved. Mr. Woodruff confirmed that it had not moved and that the only change since conceptual is that
the neighbors are moving their non-plumb wall two feet to the west.
MOTION: Ms. Thompson moved to approve Resolution #11, series of 2022 with the following additional
conditions. Condition #9: Final material selections on the addition to be approved by staff and monitor.
Condition #10: the addition of a 12-inch maintenance edge at the border of the resource. Condition #11:
Review of the final fence design with staff and monitor. Mr. Moyer seconded.
Mr. Moyer then asked what the overhang of the soffit is on the house. Mr. Woodruff said it was four
feet. Mr. Moyer said he thought that they should make the maintenance edge at the border of the
resource a minimum of 24 inches as opposed to 12 inches.
