Village of Pittsford Historic Preservation Board — May 18, 2026
The Short Version
- Ten property applications are before the board Monday evening, including three solar installations — the largest solar cluster on a single HPB agenda this year.
- The 11 Golf Ave window case continues from a prior meeting; the applicant argues the 1950s sunroom windows are non-original and have deteriorated beyond practical repair.
- 14 Eastview Ter is listed as information only — no vote expected, but the garage and addition plans are entering the board’s view for the first time.
- The Gaskin Award for 2025 preservation excellence is on the agenda for discussion, signaling a likely announcement at this meeting.
- The full packet — applicant narratives and project drawings — is posted at villageofpittsfordny.gov ahead of the meeting.

Meeting Notice
Meeting Notice
The following is the official meeting notice as published by the Village of Pittsford, May 2026.
The board meets Monday evening at Village Hall, 21 North Main Street. If you can’t attend in person, you can watch live via Zoom — the link above works on any device. Phone dial-in is available if you just need to listen. The board reviews applications from property owners seeking approval for exterior changes to historically designated buildings in the village. The order of agenda items may shift at the board’s discretion.
Applications Before the Board
Applications Before the Board
The following is the tentative agenda as filed with the Village of Pittsford Historic Preservation Board, May 18, 2026. The order of applications is subject to change at the board’s discretion.
Ten properties are on the docket this month. A few worth noting:
11 Golf Ave is a continuation from a previous meeting. The owner is requesting replacement of non-original mid-century windows on the sunroom’s north and west facades. The application argues the existing windows — added in a 1950s modification, not original to the 1928 structure — have deteriorated to the point where repair is no longer practical, with documented moisture damage, mold, and lead paint concerns. The proposed replacements would match the existing 6-over-1 configuration and overall proportions.
Solar installations appear three times on this agenda — at 15 Maple Dr (roof solar, with awning removal), 65 South St, and 63 South St. The board has developed a body of precedent on solar panels in the historic district; how these applications are handled will be worth watching for other homeowners considering similar projects.
The remaining applications cover a chimney veneer (14 Elmbrook Dr), a garage door (38 Rand Pl), porch work at two properties (5 Elmbrook Dr and 55 Monroe Ave), patio walls (25 Monroe Ave), and a garage addition at 14 Eastview Ter listed as information only — meaning the board is reviewing plans but not yet voting on that one.

The board will also discuss scheduling time for June training — likely related to board member continuing education on historic preservation standards — and will take up the Gaskin Award, an annual recognition given for outstanding preservation work in the village. The 2025 recipient discussion suggests the award selection is either still in progress or being formally announced at this meeting.

What does it mean for a neighborhood when neighbors show up — not because they’re required to, but because they actually care what happens to the house three doors down?
