The Historical and Architectural Review Board had four items on its Nov. 4 agenda.

Bob Wheeler, representing the Main Street Commons, wished to replace 15 second-story windows on the building’s southern face. He said they are old and poorly insulated, making it very difficult to keep the areas within warm.

Board members, particularly George Donovan, Beth Starbuck and Marsha Fritz, talked with Wheeler at length regarding window shape, dimensions, material and value, and concluded more research was needed by the applicant.

Phil Roeder suggested Wheeler investigate a Canadian window company that may serve well.

Wheeler agreed to return after doing more research, and the item was tabled.

T-Mobile representative John Davey then advanced a plan to add several new cellular antennas to existing outlets atop Hotel Bethlehem. There was discussion, but board members admitted nobody realizes there are antennas there already, and the new ones will actually only be filling holes left by some removed since the agreement was first reached in 2012.

Starbuck was surprised at the revelation of the antennas’ existence, saying, “I never saw them there.”

Davey replied happily, “Thank you. That’s music to my ears.”

The board agreed to the replacement antennas so long as they remain unobtrusive.

Ben Colunga was next, asking for permission to replace the awning of 81 Main St. and add a new business sign.

The new awning was described as essentially identical to the old one, but Fritz was unhappy with the lack of description of a proposed color scheme, which she said the board always insists upon.

Roeder suggested the provided mock-up image was enough to keep the process moving, and he and Starbuck said they would accept the new change as appropriate so long as Colunga offered a record of the exact paints to be used to the city.

The proposal was accepted.

The final item was canceled because the property owner wasn’t present.
