HDC approves simplified addition at 3 New Mill Street after review from Historic Structures group

The Historic District Commission approved a revised addition at 3 New Mill Street after the applicant simplified the original two‑gable scheme to a single, cleaner form and agreed to adjust one set of divided windows to a single light sash per the Historic Structures Advisory Group’s recommendation.

Agent Lucas (representing Chip Webster) presented elevations showing the simplified massing and a more restrained fenestration plan. The Historic Structures Advisory Group (represented by Mickey Roland) supported the revisions but suggested changing one mullioned window on the south elevation to a single window. Commissioners generally agreed the simplified form fit the streetscape and made a motion to approve subject to date of construction and dimension notes being entered on the As‑Built/CLA documents.

Motion and vote: the commission approved the revised addition as submitted with the condition that the date of construction and dimensional information be noted in the building record; the motion carried unanimously.

The decision included a note that as‑built details and window manufacturer/section details should be included in the final files for staff review.
