An error was found on Sheet A 1.0 of the Architectural plans labeled “New Detached Garage” signed and sealed by Robert Hoene, Architect, which were the original plans submitted at the December 13, 2011 HABR meeting. The interior plans (Sheet A2.0) show a proposed window on the left side elevation; however the window was not shown on the exterior drawing of the left side elevation. The building plans submitted to the Building Inspector corrected the error and the plan was sent back to the Board for their review and approval. The correction to the December 13, 2011 application as presented would not adversely affect the Historic District and the surrounding area.
