Great.

Now we can start.

We can start.

Good morning, everybody.

This is the regularly scheduled meeting of the Syracuse Landmark Preservation Board.

And today is September the seventeenth, two thousand and twenty-six.

Present at today's meeting are Nicole Frankito.

Jeff Romano.

Hillary Donahue.

Excuse Howard Howard and we're waiting on that one.

Thank you.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Any changes, modifications to those minutes.

Hearing none.

Opposed.

Abstain.

Motion carries.

The board will now conduct the public hearings on today's agenda.

First, the applicant or their applicant's representative will be invited to describe the project scope of work and present any material and documentation regarding the proposal to the board.

Next, persons wishing to speak in favor of the proposal will be given the opportunity to address the board.

Finally, the applicant or representative will be given the opportunity to make closing comments to the board.

Following public comment, the board may vote to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the applicate application just heard.

The board may also decide to hold its decision until next public hearing.

If the hearing is closed, no additional information will be allowed into the record except for information the board may request.

That information will be available for the public review with board staff.

Staff, please introduce our application.

That would be me.

All right.

So the first application is CA-26-19.

Uh says certificate of appropriateness for 120 Dorset Road.

This is for garage garage repair and new doors.

It's actually more like garage reconstruction and some new doors.

And we have Tom De Tullio here to speak on behalf of the of the project.

Good morning, board.

How are you guys today?

Great, thank you.

So may I get yourself to introduce yourself?

Sure, it's I'm Tom Di Tullio, Tom Thomas to JD Tullio Architects, 237 Woody Absarius, New York.

Thank you, sir.

Do a few of these every now and then.

So it actually became like Kate said, more of a reconstruction than a simple repair.

Once we got inside and start inspecting the walls, basically are knee walls, concrete knee walls, concrete block knee walls, which are different from what the house has on three sides of it.

And we have excessive deterioration and failure, such as Boeing, cracking, and some extensive deterioration around the two sides of it.

So we're gonna have to excavate around there.

The only problem is we have a rear easement where power lines run the back side of Dorset right here up on the hill.

So you can't get power equipment back in there, we're close to the neighbor.

So it's gonna be a lot of hand digging and small equipment.

So in order to keep the cost down so the poor guy doesn't pay $100,000 for a garage.

Um we're trying to do as much as we can.

And one of the things that we are looking at to save costs is the overhead door.

And we looked at ordering a wooden overhead door, and we can get them, but if they're 180 to 200 days out.

So waiting that long, putting us in the winter and doing all the concrete work outside would be a little cost inefficiently.

It'd be probably double the cost of the concrete work, having to heat it and maintain it.

So that's one of the fears we have.

Other than that, everything is going to be returned exactly the way it is now.

I presented photographs with the satwater, and she has all the photographs of what's there now.

Um the interior front of the garage, the beam over the front end has failed so dramatically that the and the door is being rotted halfway up.

Um I'll go to the photos.

Yeah.
