April 5, 2000
Chairperson Suzannah Reid called the special meeting to order at 5~00 p.m.
Members in attendance were Lisa Markalunas, Heidi Friedland, Mary Hirsch,
Jefkey Halferty, Gilbert Sanchez, Rally Dupps, Susan Dodington, and
Christie Kienast. Melanie Roschko was excused.
240 LAKE AVENUE - GREENBERG RESIDENCE
Amy relayed that there is a trellis over the entry of the house that is
deteriorating and a post that is not original and the determination needs made
whether the post should be removed or not.
Charles Cunniffe, architect and Jeff Lester presented.
Charles requested to replace the comer post. Bauhaus aesthetics always did
posts that were at the outside edge or at comers and the original post was at
the comer. They are asking for approval to have the post at the comer and
they already have a post at the comer of the garage. The original cantilever
was 2 x 8 and even then it was sagging. To do it now we would have to
replace the outer wall with steel.
Suzannah said when we originally reviewed this the board felt that it was
important that the trellis should be cantilevered and since that time it has been
determined that is a difficult structural change that would have to be made.
Suzannah felt it important that the post not take away the effect of the
cantilever, which is what happens when you put it on the comer. It no longer
has anything to do with the cantilever. She suggested a compromise to put
the post part way along the cantilever to support it but still maintain the idea
of the original cantilever.
Charles said he does not feel that is consistent with the Bauhaus architecture
or represents a condition that was historic.
Suzannah relayed that the comer post was not an original element of the
design of the building and that was specifically mentioned in the letter that it
was cantilevered with no posts. Maintaining the idea of the cantilever is the
best solution and worthwhile detail as opposed to dismissing the entire idea of
a cantilever.

Charles said the owner strongly £elt that it should be a comer post.
Comments:
Jeffrey recommended cantilever. The column should be closer to the wall
and give it a 1/3 to 2/3 ratio.
Rally echoed Jeffrey's comments.
Mary indicated that if the architects on the board can reach a consensus she
will go along with their decision.
Susan relayed that she will support the architects' decisions.
Christie said the building should look like it did originally. She also agreed
that the post looks better back further to give you the illusion of being
cantilevered.
Lisa felt that the cantilever should be reinstalled but short of that she could
support the comer post.
Heidi felt that the post placed on the comer visually looks better.
Amy said the plans indicated that the existing materials were going to stay
and now they are not.
Lisa did not vote:
MOTION: deffi'ey moved to approve to support the cantilever trust detail
but if to onerous and expensive support a post that is located within a
proximity of the wall to be determined to give the illusion of a cantilever so
that the trellis still has its' same intent. Motion second by Mary.
AMENDED MOTION: The post to be away from the wall to the edge of the
cantilever trellis perhaps a one third/two third relationship in the total span
for a location of the post or taking the post in from the corner at a dimension
to be determined on both the east and south. A drawing will be submitted
with the exact location by Charles Cunniffe. Amended motion second by
Mary.
