“To me, the thing is that the code goes up to so far. Then guidelines kick in. Because code only describes a portion of the project. Guidelines is really the real tool that we have to enforce... you know, this town not being destroyed. It's really the tool that we have. That's why it's binding legally or not. It's not, but we need to have the authority of making those calls. That's why we're here. But, you know, I don't have an issue with changing one way or the other. I mean, I don't care. I mean, I don't think that they sound that different.”

“I think that something that we see here when people present their houses is that they think that they've won the battle because they meet code. You know, they think that because the code is a bit on the complicated side and don't meet the code, I think that they think that they've won the battle of the code. So I think that there is a sense of entitlement that some people have when they show up here that they think like, well, it meets code. And the guidelines is what comes, kicks into, is our tool that we have to make understand. And I think that's a board We're such an incredibly good board…”

“No green niches. I think that, sorry to interrupt, but I think that the mechanicals, we don't allow mechanical systems to be that close to the side. I think, don't they have to be a setback? Isn't there a setback?”

“Yeah, because it's important that they know that that's not allowed. Because right now it just refers to the fact that they just need to be screened, but we don't allow those to be there. So they need to be added.”

“Sorry to interrupt one thing. I think we talked about it. I don't know how it works out, but didn't we say that if anyone builds a pool up like that, it's considered square footage? Because I don't know if this one came into play for this house or not. We didn't mention it, but remember we mentioned that if that's going to be built, it's square footage.”

“i believe that that's kind of where we have the disconnect right now we don't have that specifically stated in our code but we could put it for a future well i mean it's it's it's one tool that we have to say that listen if you're going to build we don't we don't want them but even if you do no one is going to do it because the tool that we have is that is counted as square footage right no one wants to count the pool of square footage i've already got this issue noted for a future so okay we'll add that at the end”

“No, we talked about this one. I think this one is a good one because this actually was an incredibly sweet art deco house that completely got butchered. They made the addition with the baluster.”

“Remember we talked about the windows and how the addition is completely incompatible with that.”

“Yeah, so I think this is an example of a very- The perfect example of an addition is also the fact that I think it's a really good example how these windows, the color of the windows and the tint in the windows isn't compatible with the art deco house. I think the choice of windows is completely wrong for this house. It's actually, it could have been a very sweet art deco house, and it's completely butchered.”

“This house is, why are we punishing this house? It's a really nice one. The top one. The one on 91st Street, the white one. It's actually a three unit house. The one on the top. That's not a single family home, it's three apartments.”
