[MassHistPres] Window Decisions

[Pat Patrick]

The Marblehead Old and Historic Commission's denial of a citizen  
application for double glazed replacement windows within the  
Districts was appealed to the Board of Selectmen twice by the same  
applicant.  The selectmen upheld the decision both times by majority  
vote of 3 to 2.  When I was on the commission, and preparing for the  
second appeal, town's attorney did not refer to any case law that I  
can recall.  Her name is Lisa Meade, and her office is in Newburyport  
MA.  She would be a good contact if legal advice is needed.
What was the Springfield decision?  Anyone??
