The Historic District Commission voted to hold an application for exterior revisions at 228 Pine Street and asked the applicant to explore alternatives to the submitted front bump‑out and a large rear dormer.

Architect Matt described a set of reductions made since the previous submission, including smaller dormer dimensions and a reduced front bump‑out. Commissioners praised the inclusion of the existing condition in the submission for comparison and requested additional changes: several members recommended replacing the proposed gable or flat‑faced bump‑out with a more traditional hip‑roof bay or a more clearly articulated bay window; others urged that the rear dormer be converted to a shed dormer to reduce plate height and visual prominence.

Commissioners asked the applicant to return with alternate designs that reduce the dormer height, explore a hip‑roof bay condition for the front, and provide additional alternatives. The commission held the application for revisions; the motion to hold carried with the board voting to request the alternatives and return with updated drawings.
