HDC actions at a glance: approvals and Exhibit A conditions
Summary
At the meeting the HDC approved a gable barn at 37 Squam with an Exhibit A for vegetation/screening, approved revised designs for 198 Homebond and 42 Monahassid subject to Exhibit A adjustments, and adopted minutes from March 17 with one abstention.
The Historic District Commission handled multiple smaller items and votes at its April 21 meeting; highlights and outcomes follow.
• 37 Squam Road — Approved (gable option) with Exhibit A requiring replication of roadside vegetation if disturbed and screening of a glazed connector (staff to verify at inspection).
• 198 Homebond — Approved revised design. The applicant detached a garage and lowered a central connector mass per board guidance; the board approved the revised plans and requested the application notation reflect gray trim and sash.
• 42 Monahassid (church apartment) — Approved with an Exhibit A that requires the applicant to replicate the second‑floor porch expression at the first‑floor level, and to lower the top plate/ridge by about 9–12 inches as shown in an Exhibit A sketch to be filed with staff.
• 15/159 Orange Street — Minor door and window adjustments for a previously held item were addressed; the board approved the proposed changes with annotations for trim and sash.
• Minutes — The board approved minutes of March 17; one member recorded a 'no' and one abstention noted in the roll call.
These items were non‑controversial relative to other agenda items and were handled either as consent or as brief revisions.
What happens next: Staff will enter Exhibit A conditions in project records for inspection follow‑up and confirm revised application notations (colors/trim) where indicated.
