From: "Mark Voigt" To: "Ernst J. Meyer" Cc: , Subject: HDC application for New Dwelling located at 3 Red Barn Rd Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 15:42:40 -0500 Dear Mr. Ernst Meyer, Thank you for faxing your letter dated January 31, 2005 which is a response to our prior phone conversation regarding your current application for a Certificate of Appropriateness. I would like to clarify the situation. Your project is being held pending revisions as per the minutes I faxed to you the other day. The 60 day period you referred to was extended, by you or your wife, and approved by the HDC staff. The current expiration date is Feb. 15, 2005 and the deadline for submissions for that hearing is Feb. 11, 2005. If revisions or another extension are not forthcoming then the HDC will make a decision on your application, which is usually a denial due to a lack of responding to their suggestions (minutes) within the allotted time period. Appeals of the HDC decision can be made to the Board of Selectmen (BOS)within 10 days of the official minutes of the proceedings having been submitted to the Town Clerk. The HDC is available every two weeks, if necessary to hear project = proposals and/or their subsequent revisions. The HDC staff is also available during the normal office hours to advise and offer assistance. Our phone conversation the other day was the first time I was aware their was an issue regarding your proposal. It is quite typical for an applicant to make revisions to their original proposal as per the HDC concerns. Specifically, the HDC had concerns about the lack of appropriate trim detail, shallow roof pitch and single lite window design. My additional comments are as follows: Greek revival proportions would not be appropriate for the setting and suggest an increase to the roof pitch up to 8/12. Application reflects a 25' ridge height which can be raised a bit to accommodate the suggested increased roof pitch. * All windows should be shown as divided lite windows and the majority should be double hung with a rectangular 3:5 proportion, vertically oriented. Windows should be separated by the typical 5 inch trim and a 6 inch minimum shingle space. Larger windows should not be above smaller windows. * Chimney should be a traditional design with brick or parged material * Stair placement OK. Drawing needs to indicate appropriate detailing of typical stair detail eg. thickness, material, rake board and railing. * Accurate Grade line should be reflected on all elevations. =20 * Typical Front door with appropriate trim. Thank you for submitting your application and if these changes can be incorporated into the drawings you will be very close to, or actually achieving an approval from the HDC without having to initiate an appeal to the BOS. Again the deadline for these revisions to be submitted to our office is Noon, February 11th. If you would like to request an extension please submit it in writing. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this correspondence or on your project in general. Respectfully, Mark W. Voigt, AICP Administrator, Nantucket Historic District Commission (508) 228-7231 ================= Ernst J. Meyer 174 School Street. Belmont, Massachusetts 02478 617-484-8109 ernstmeyer@earthlink.net February 3, 2005 Mr. Mark Voigt, Administrator Nantucket Historic District Commission 37 Washington Street Nantucket MA 02554 Dear Mr. Voigt, This is to acknowledge receipt of your e-mail letter of February 2, 2005. You assert: "The 60 day period you referred to was extended, by you or your wife, and approved by the HDC staff." Having reviewed my files and my notes, I can find no records, and neither I nor my wife have any memory of having requested or agreed to such an extension. I ask therefore that you mail to me promptly copies of all documents in your files that support your assertion. If before you mail them, you could also fax them to me, that would be helpful. The fax number is 617-489-1043, but you need to telephone me on 617-484-8109 (or 617-489-1043) prior to initiating the fax transmission, so I can turn on my machine. Thank you for your help. Sincerely yours, Ernst J. Meyer =============== Ernst J.

As of 9 a.m. on April 29, 2006, I have received neither the Certificate of Appropriateness nor the true copy of the video recording in issue. Please advise me what further actions, if any, are expected of me precedent to the fulfillment of the promises that were made to the Court at your direction and or with your consent on March 29, 2006. Inasmuch as the Court accepted your promises and in reliance on them refrained from scheduling the case for trial, please explain to me, why your failure to fulfill your promises without explanation, should not be adjudged fraud upon the Court.
