And, he added, his considerable experience with historic renovation told him that his design does not encroach on the present structure. To place the addition to the rear, he said, would diminish the value of the property.
“Your proposal,” Mr. Kramer replied, “diminishes the value of the building. The mass is clearly visible . . . by preserving the architectural integrity vbu add to the value.
"It comes down, he said, “to the owner who bought a building in the historic district knowing that the ordinance requires that he honor the character of that building - does what you want to do honor that character? The opposition you got tonight should lead you to believe that you are not."
With the two sides stalemated in disagreement, but the board obviously leaning toward denial of the application as presented, Mrs. Miller suggested that the board could table the proposal without a vote. That, she explained, would allow Mr. Kulski to return with an alternate plan without filing an entirely new application.
“What does your brother want?” ARB member Evelyn Willis asked Mr. Barton.
“He wants a handsome, goodlooking house. I think that what was proposed was - but he would accept any solution which gives him the same space with a good-looking house."
He pointed out that Mr. Barton has signed a contract for the addition, and a delay might pose a hardship on the construction timetable.
"That does not meet the definition of hardship in the zoning sense," Mr. Kramer, who is a member of the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals, pointed out. "Hardship is not financial inconvenience.”
Mr. Barton, Mr. Kulski and the board agreed that the most equitable solution would be for the proposal to be tabled so that Mr. Kulski could consult with Mr. Barton about his wishes for an alternate plan.
Mrs. Miller announced on Monday that Mr. Kulski has contacted her with a second proposal. The ARB has scheduled a work session for Thursday, April 13 at 8 p.m. at the courthouse to review Mr. Kulski's revised plan.
