Historical Commission review
Tue, 01/05/2010 - 1:50pm — jhh
Approved
On July 1 the Cambridge Historical Commission granted a "Certificate of Appropriateness" to the project, based on an update from Sasaki/Oaktree on landscaping details and architectural materials, and a letter from Saint James Episcopal Church responding to financing questions and commitments. The board still wants to see the language in the letter tightened, and wants to see a full-scale mockup of the exterior materials to be used. Karen Klinger has posted a detailed review of the meeting on CCTV.
Conditional Approvals
During several continuations, the Cambridge Historical Commission approved the project in principle but continued the case until some conditions are met. Here are their initial letter of approval and their April 7 confirmation.
