ARCHITECT PRESENTATION
Imelda Barnhurst and Jackie Brauer from Gienapp Design presented three proposals to replace
the porch that collapsed from last winter's storm.
Option One: Most expensive, have existing historical element, enclosed space, outside deck, can
have a railing or not, exit the restaurant onto a screened porch.
Option two: similar as before, matching railing on porch, sloped roof, screened walls with open
deck on one end.
Option three: More affordable, more practical, use awnings for cover, electric or manual, canvas
around perimeter instead of railings. This can all be stored for the winter.
With various discussion among the Commissioners and GFMI: dusk has heaviest use, bugs,
Historic Commission guidelines, Option One is overkill, awning size varies, cover as much of the
deck as we want.
The Commission has asked the Architects to modify Options 2 & 3 and submit new proposals.
FINANCE REPORT
Mr. Lawler distributed the Finance report and reviewed certain expenditures with the members.
Mr. Lowd indicated that the veranda needed some sort of coating and asked the painters for
their opinion. They did a sample stain on part of the veranda and reviewed it with Mr.
Bouchard.

$2900, Mr. Lawler motioned to accept Mr. Lowd's proposal, seconded by Mr. Crandall. Motion
carried 4 -0.
Mr. Lawler motioned to pay a plumbing and heating bill for $240, seconded by Mr. Crandall.
