This review was requested by the Town Zoning Board of Appeals on February 22,2019. On
March 7, 2019 the Architectural Review Committee met with the following representatives for
the project Mark Holzner, Owner & Managing Member of Hound Lane, LLC; David Noe,
Architect; and Mike Schiano, Planner who presented the proposed area variance relief
application to alter an existing building into a restaurant on the first floor and to construct a
second story addition for two apartment units in a General Business District on Fishers Island.
Town Planner, Brian Cummings was also in attendance.
The Committee reviewed the application on behalf of the Town Zoning Board of Appeals, and
made the following recommendations:
The Committee acknowledges the prominent location of this proposed project at the
primary arrival/departure point at Fisher's Island. Therefore, particularly close scrutiny
of this redevelopment is appropriate.
The proposed Elevations show the addition of a second floor with corrugated metal
panel siding and six shed dormers. The Committee suggests that this addition radically

alters the special character of the original historic structure in scale, proportion and
material detail.
- If the second floor addition is approved,the Committee's preference is to continue the
existing brickwork with matching brick and mortar and sympathetically detailed
coursework.
In addition, the Committee recommends a reconsideration of the proportions and
massing of this second floor, including the shed dormers,to be more respectful of the
existing hipped roof historic structure.
The proposed site plan indicates that the project is in a flood zone. The Committee
recommends reducing parking and paved surfaces,while increasing permeable
landscaped areas with flood tolerant trees and other plantings for better stormwater
abatement.
The Committee recommends revision and resubmission of the drawings in response to these
comments.
Motion made and seconded.
All Ayes.

On April 18, 2019 Town Planner, Brian Cummings submitted a request to review the project
with six (6) different renderings of the proposed second-story addition depicting some of the
recommendations made during the Committee's March 7,2019 meeting which were sent via
email to the Committee members for review. This site plan is for the proposed conversion of an
existing 2,815sq.ft. building into a restaurant on the first floor,the construction of a 2,29sq.ft.
second story addition for two apartments (ZBA file #7237), twenty-six parking spaces and an
existing 280sq.ft. accessory building to remain for dry storage all on.46 acres in the B Zoning
District.
The Architectural Review Committee has reviewed the resubmitted proposed elevations for the
Hound Street Bakery project, and is making the following recommendations:
Prior comments by the Architectural Review Committee are not adequately addressed
by this resubmission. Although two of the proposed elevations no longer indicate metal
siding, these all brickwork elevations still do not substantially address earlier comments
concerning historic proportion, massing and roof planes. It is suggested that it may be
more appropriate to locate an addition at the rear of the building, as an alternative to
changing the height and roof lines of the existing historic structure.
Motion made and seconded.
All Ayes.
