3.) Continuation: Consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness Application from Matthew Murphy, Applicant
Proposal: To replace eleven windows with Dura Classic windows – manufactured by Matthew Brothers in Belfast, ME

Kirk asked the Applicant if he had any additional information to present.
Matt Murphy brought in a whole display window showing the features of it. He said that the muntins are on both side of the glass and a divider is between the glass. The muntins are about 1/8” wider than the current windows.
David Cichowski provided a diagram of the window, showing the size of each feature as well as measurements he took from the Murphys’ windows. Kirk noted that a photo provided with the application shows a thick sill and asked if the Applicants were going to remove the sills. Matt said he has discussed it with the contractor and won’t know how involved it will be until they can get under the sills and determine if they have rotted beyond repair. He said that the top window sill in the back window is covered with plywood and two others are wrapped with aluminum. Kirk said that the sill is an integral part of the whole frame and was concerned if they were going to leave the existing sill and then add this window with sill, which would add to the depth. He said that if at the
end of the process, the depth of the sill (3 ½”) is retained, it would help to maintain the overall size of the window.
Geri asked if they still planned to use the brick molding. Matt said yes and the windows will be six over six. Geri asked if the windows came from Lapoints. Matt said yes.
Geri Robbins-Doyle made a motion that we grant a Certificate of Appropriateness to Matthew and Paula Murphy to replace eleven windows in their building, Dura Classic, six over six, using brick molding. Kirk Mohney seconded the motion and added an amendment. The openings should be the same size and the depth of the sill should match the existing 3 ½” sill. Gail Seconded the Amendment.
Vote on amendment: 5 in favor. 0 opposed. Motion passed.
Vote on motion: 5 in favor. 0 opposed. Motion passed.
