and Rob Parrish agreed with Mr. O’Connell’s assessment, and Mr. McCarthy agreed to change the window shape, along with the arch above the basement entrance, which was to match the window shape.
The county also agreed to install risers on the existing stairs facing Mt. Salem Avenue; to make every effort to match the windows and their mullions with those found throughout the courthouse complex; to attempt to match the materials, quality and design of the shutters on the existing jail; to attempt to match the existing gutters, soffits, roof and overhangs; to match the stone foundation with the stone wall along Porter St.; to mortar up a sample of the bricks and mortar selected for the addition for ARB approval; and to return later for approval of the addition’s outside lighting fixtures.
The ARB also approved an application from' R. Probbst for a new house to be constructed on a lot in the Rev. Scott’s subdivision on Piedmont Ave.
Mr. Probbst plans a brick and frame home on the lot. He told the board that he had considered cedar shakes for the roof, “but as a firefighter and with a couple of small kids, I’m not wild about shakes on the roof."
Mrs. Willis said she saw no problem with either the cedar shakes or with the asphalt shingle style Mr. Probbst had selected, and the ARB approved both options.
She asked if the other board members thought the plans should be reviewed by one of the ARB’s advisors.
“I don't know that we ought to use the advisors on every application,” Mr. Parrish replied. “Some-' times I would say ‘Yes,’ but this time I think we can decide.”
“I don’t see anything controversial about it,” Mr. O’Connell added.
The ARB approved the application, with the stipulations that all windows have real mullions rather than pop-out grilles, and that Mr. Probbst return later for approval of his paint choices.
In other business, the ARB:
• approved the replacement of an aging and deteriorated picket fence at Heritage House. Mrs. Willis explained that the new fence was actually a “by-right” replacement, but the owners of the property applied anyway because there was a 1/2 inch difference in the size of the pickets.
• noted that the screening around the trash cans and heat pumps behind Trinity Episcopal Church was to be painted white, and that the painting has not yet been done. The ARB requested that a letter be sent to the church’s vestry committee advising them of that fact.
