Board confronts apparent unapproved window change at 37 Main after members review photos
Summary
Commissioners reviewed photos showing a different window/frame assembly at 37 Main than what appeared in past images; members said the replacement appears to have been done without approval and instructed staff to issue an updated notice asking the owner/tenant to return.
Board members reviewed photographs and old images and concluded the current window/frame assembly differs from what historically existed at 37 Main Street. One commissioner said the new aluminum frame and horizontal panes represented a substantive alteration that likely required prior approval. "There's no way in the world we would ever have approved what he installed there," a member said after the photos were shown.
Members discussed steps for remediation. The chair noted that the tenant had previously told the board some elements predated tenancy, but photographic evidence contradicted that account. The board asked staff to update the notice to the property owner and invite the owner/tenant back to explain the changes and propose remedies; staff confirmed they will issue an updated notice.
