[MassHistPres] hardiplank

[John Worden]

We have allowed this in a couple of instances where a garage was being built 
close to the property line & the building inspector required it as being 
fireproof - we also found that we couldn't just do the hardiplank on  the 
part close to the property line, it had to be on the whole structure.  We 
did require that the planks be smooth, so as not to accentuate the phony 
wood-grain effect.
