Board approves two‑story rear addition and requires wood trim, new shutters at 4 Locust Bridal

Members approved a plan presented by the applicant for a two‑story rear addition, new front and rear entry roof, cedar shakes at the upper portions and replacement of existing vinyl siding with wood siding. Benjamin Roberts (introduced in the meeting, SEG 230) described the project and said the rear addition would largely be hidden from the principal street; board members pressed for historic‑appropriate materials and consistent window muntin patterns, noting several trim corners and corner boards shown as PVC should be wood.

The board outlined conditions to the approval: PVC corner trim and exterior trim shown in the plans must be replaced with wood, shutters shown as existing on the drawings are to be replaced with new shutters of wood construction, and the canopy/arch over the front entrance is to be infilled per the illustration. The board voted to approve the application with those modifications; the meeting transcript records members responding "aye" but does not include a numeric tally. The applicant and staff will document the required changes in the approval notice and update submitted drawings.
