P. Graziani reviews project as discussed in prior meetings. He explains sketched plan and
dimensions of project. Wall will be 1ft. X 22". Plans to construct wall and stairs out of red brick
from Lowe's with 1.75" granite caps. Note that printout from Home Depot shows 3/4" granite.
Stair will have a 4' landing and black, cast iron rails will replace existing.
Board is open to discussion.
Type of brick is discussed. Printout of brick is black and white. Photo was shown on phone.
Concerns over the new, generic red brick were raised. Different styles and suppliers of brick
were discussed. Applicant agreed to select a brick consistent with those of the neighborhood,
but would not return for another meeting. Board members were concerned with project moving
forward with no specific building materials selected.

would not return for another meeting and would not present specific materials to the board.
