The applicant agreed to revise the plans and return for further review. Additionally, the committee approved a certificate of appropriateness for the town of Barnstable to install interpretive signage at 425 Sandy Neck Road, including flood marker signs, with minor adjustments to the design and size. Another application for a home addition at 111 Stonehedge Road was also approved as submitted.

Motions to open and close public hearings, continue applications, and approve certificates of appropriateness were passed by roll call votes throughout the meeting.
