WELLFLEET HISTORICAL COMMISSION

 

The Wellfleet Historical Commission met in the Wellfleet Library on Wednesday, March 6, 2019.  Present:  Co-Chairs Lydia Vivante and Maria Burks, Anne Freyss, Carol Ubriaco, and Nick Watkins.  Tom Siggia and Luke Manning were absent.  Also present:  Justin Post, Merrill Mead-Fox, Tim Dickey, Jeremy Young, Abe Boyle, Brenda Correia, Patrick Stanton and Ben Zehnder.  The meeting was called to order at 5 pm by Lydia Vivante who presented Maria Burks with a card from the members and some local honey as a token of appreciation for her devoted service to the Commission.  She will be very much missed at the helm!

  1. Abe Boyle presented plans for a solar installation at 50 Higgins Lane.  Burks moved to approve the project as presented, Ubriaco seconded the motion and all were in favor.
  2. Tim Dickey presented plans for a porch addition to the street facade of 180 Commercial Street.  Freyss moved to accept the proposal, Burks seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
  3. Brenda Correia and Patrick Stanton presented their plans for replacing 4 windows in the outbuilding at 70 East Commercial Street.  Vivante made a motion to accept the plans for “9 over 6” replacement windows with exterior mullions.  Burks seconded the motion and all voted in favor.
  4. Jeremy Young, owner of the Holden Inn at 140 Commercial Street, requested the approval of 100% demolitioon of “The Lodge” building at the rear of the property, overlooking Holbrook Avenue.  There was quite a bit of discussion and some input from Mr. Young’s lawyer Ben Zehnder.  It was duly moved the seconded to ask Sara Korjeff of the CCC for an advisory opinion on the significant characteristics of the Lodge building and to reserve any final decision to the April meeting.  The vote was unanimous.
  5. The request from Mia Baumgarten to videotape the WHC meetings was received with reserve.  Although this is a Town-wide effort to publicize open meetings, the WHC asks for a bit of time to reorganize after Burks steps down.
  6. Re:  Historical Commission recommendations of CPC requests on the ATM warrant: a) Freyss moved and Ubriaco seconded the motion to recommend Article 32.  The vote was unanimous; b) Article 37 — Watkins moved then Burks seconded the motion to take no action.  All in favor except Vivante who abstained; c) there was no vote taken regarding Article 36.
