1. Minutes of the June 6 meeting approved as written

   1. Permission to demolish
   2. Williams: no historic value
   3. Is house to be built larger than one demolished? Yes, as it is 2-story replacing a one story, but it is sited further from The Bowl
   4. Demolition approved
3. Sarah Mnookin, owner, on behalf of One Dugway Road
   1. Is the structure(s) historic — yes
   2. Are the proposed changes substantial? — discussion
      
      Substantial alterations to an historic building not allowed under the bylaw. What does substantial mean? Sanders: these changes clearly are substantial. Marsden agreed. (Includes both demolition of a section and an addition)
      
      Williams argued “not substantial” — Sprague agreed and called changes “in keeping with” — Williams argued the meaning of substantial as doing best to preserve character given the current condition of buildings
   3. Sauer said (center section to be demolished) contains “King’s boards”. King’s boards are very largest boards cut from largest trees. If they save and reuse, then Sauer satisfied that they are doing best to preserve given current condition — Marsden agreed since keeping and reusing it is “in keeping”
   4. Williams further argued, the bylaw says, “does the proposed plan alter or materially compromise the historic or architectural character of the building?”
   5. Motion: “Work does not significantly alter as defined in bylaw” Passed — work approved
