Summary

The commission approved construction of a barn at 200 South Main after clarifying design details: building height 21'6", use of Aspect windows with 6/6 simulated divided lights, no trim around windows, Legacy raised garage doors with no windows, and an east mandoor without windows.

An applicant participating by phone provided the three items the commission had requested at the July 6 meeting: window details, garage door details, and the overall height of the proposed barn. The applicant stated the building height would be 21' 6" and said he intended to use white vinyl EcoLight windows with 6/6 grills between the glass but acknowledged literature showed EcoLight does not support simulated divided lights (SDL).

Commissioners noted that EcoLight does not offer SDL in the model cited and the applicant said he would use the Aspect line if needed. The commission approved the submission with clarifications: use Aspect windows to allow 6/6 SDL with colonial-style external grids, no trim around windows as proposed, overhead garage doors with no windows (Legacy collection classic raised doors), and an east mandoor with no windows to match the existing house. The motion to accept these clarifications passed 4–0 (Schwemmer, MacClintic, Tracey, Howell).
