ITEM #2 PLAN REVIEWS
122 & 124 Boston Post Road — Proposed modifications to previously approved design
elements granted to Kincora Waterford, LLC
William McCabe and Mark Mancuso of Kincora Waterford, LLC were present for the
application.
W. McCabe presented the proposed design element modifications to the building and to the
dumpster enclosure as shown on the plans provided to the Board. The proposed change to the
building would be the elimination of the aluminum rods architectural feature which were
designed to break up the visual mass of the side of the building with the pickup window. He
explained that the cost of that particular design element was such that they would like to
explore less expensive options. One of which would be to eliminate the rods and install faux
windows to achieve the break up of the wall mass.
Another proposed change would be to replace the previously approved material for the
dumpster enclosure from the color masonry block to a Trex® board material. The color would
remain the same as proposed and the front gate to the enclosure would remain as previously
approved. It was the consensus of the Board that the proposed change to the dumpster
enclosure was acceptable.
J. O’Neill stated that he would like to see other options regarding the proposed change to the
side of the building with the pickup window. He stated that the faux windows do not provide
enough of a visual breakup of the mass of the wall. J. Merrill agreed and suggested that
incorporating a different color and/or a material change may also work. E. Pellegri stated that
he had no issue with the faux windows. W. McCabe stated that he would pursue other
options for the wall change and present those to the Board at a later date.
