Amauris: With kitchen renovation, counter tops would be over the window. There are 2 34"x52"
windows.
He would like to shorten window to 34" x 40" to leave space for the countertops. A typo in the
application says 34" x 48'.
He said you won't see from the front except on the right side.
The intention was to show the same look. He would use the same moldings.
J. Lafond: Would you make a new sill?
Amauris: will see if can maintain what is there. Doesn't know what the conditions are, however.
Will keep the chimney. It is tilting slightly but want to repair it, probably repointing.
J. Lafond if repointing, don't have to come to the commission.
M. Champagne would like copy of the report from the subcontractor on the chimney stability.
Amauris said ok.
J. Lafond motion to approve application to 30, keeping same dimensions of exterior sill and trim
