Reading Historical Commission Minutes <br />17 April 2001 <br />Attending: Virginia Adams <br />Rocco Scippa; contractor <br />Louise Sandberg <br />Roberta Sullivan <br />CLERK <br />READING , MASS. <br />2001 MAY 10 P 42. 11 <br />Clay Jones <br />Sharlene Santo <br />Mark Cardono <br />Call to order: 7:38 <br />1. Mr. Scippa presented his plans for the property at 1375 Main St. He felt the <br />house should be in the front with the other units behind it. He also thought he might <br />buy the house next door. Virginia and Roberta suggested their own ideas. She felt <br />the best alternative would be to leave the house intact, on site. Mr. Scippa is in <br />agreement. Virginia presented two schematics configuring the original house with the <br />total of 12 units in two separate ways. Mr. Scippa suggested a meeting with <br />commission members, Denise Moynahan, and his engineer in the near future to go <br />over the plans. Most likely the meeting will include Virginia and Roberta during the <br />day. The suggestion was made that one of the units could be made to look like the <br />old barn in the 1854 map picture. Clay also commented that we need to keep the <br />front door, a pillared open porch, the two long windows that have been removed <br />should be replaced, keep the fenestration, no dormer on the roof and keep the color <br />as white. <br />2. Minutes for January 23, March 8, March 19, February 6, and April 8 approved <br />as amended. <br />3. The judge lifted the injunction on the demolition of the Old Police Station and <br />the building is already down. Virginia saved a few pieces. <br />4. We are still planning a preservation day. Peter O'Shea is expected to speak <br />and we want to give out some preservation awards. <br />5. Adjourned 9:30 Approved as amended 5-1-01 <br />
