2.)    38 North Main Street

·        Discussion of an errant email regarding the above address was brought up for review. The document in question was written between R. Young and R. Schroeder and was meant to be only between the two. It was sent in error to the other parties involved. This was unofficial correspondence and should not have been sent. It in no manor represents the position of the Sharon Historical Commission regarding this particular property. GH made a motion to make this statement. SS seconded the motion and it was Approved.

 

·        A request was made by the property owner to review the current condition of an older garage on the grounds. Their proposal is to remove it and replace it with a new structure of similar size. The owner had spoken with the building inspector, who in turn asked that the SHC be notified. DM and SS viewed the site. SS made a motion to allow demolition and to make sure that the new structure meets all codes and requirements set forth by the SHC. GH seconded the motion and was Approved.

Note: The property owner stated on site that the new structure would match the finishes, colors, door and window style etc. of the adjacent house.

 

3.)    Sharon Community Center

·        Selectman, Joe Roach made a request of the Commision to consider the possibility of naming a room in the newly renovated Community Center after Dave Clifton. D.M. stated that it would be considered and placed on the next agenda for next month.

 

4.)    Grant Information

·        DM would like to set up a meeting next week to discuss the status of the grant. He will notify all members.
