5. 128 Main Street – Chinda Rustanavibul
To consider a request for Certificate of Appropriateness and Design Review approval to
install two exhaust fans, and one projecting and one wall sign.
Action Taken: Application was taken as two separate motions. The applicant explained
the request under consideration. Staff read into the record a letter from Epstein
Properties, which detailed their concerns over the installation of the two fans. Epstein
Properties felt the proposal was not appropriate for the character of the building and
would impact the visual character from their leased office space, immediately adjacent to
the proposed fan location. The commission and staff discussed and asked more questions
of the applicant and about the possibility of going up through the building. After much
discussion, the applicant agreed that they could go up through the building and come out
into the flat roof and then place the fans on the roof. The Commission discussed and
asked questions of the applicant and requested comment from the public. A motion was
made to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness and Design Review for the installation
of two exhaust fans through the interior of the building and to exit through the roof.
Interior duct work is to exhaust to fans mounted on the roof.
A Certificate of Appropriateness and Design Review approval was granted by a vote of 5
to 0 for the installation of a projecting sign and a wall sign as submitted.
