Historic Dilworth Commission - Review #2

Because the new property is within the historic district of the neighborhood (Dilworth), we have to get "approval" from the HDC before we can begin the actual building. We presented initial concept in January, and went again today to review updated plans. What an experience! There are a lot of opinions about minute details - overhangs, window placement, color choices, building materials, etc. It was nice to hear the feedback so that we can adjust some things accordingly, but could be frustrating at times to hear comments that I don't agree with. The most interesting comments actually came from neighbors who can attend the meeting to voice their opinion. Fortunately they had limited comments, mostly questions, and 2 of them introduced themselves to me afterwards to make sure I didn't think they were against us personally but wanted to make sure some concerns were addressed. We still have work to do on the landscape architecture, so the approval decision was deferred until next month...
