Chairman Hughes asked if the gazebo would look exactly as shown, and Scheff said yes. Town Attorney Bob Notestine confirmed that the item under consideration involves only the aesthetic and the appropriateness of the gazebo.
Commissioner Friedlander said the warm color of the gazebo does not match the aesthetics of the building or the Historic District. Commissioner Barker agreed.
