HLRB approves exterior paint scheme for 250 Boulevard East

Kent Wilson, speaking for the homeowners Sabina and Wilford Mascarenas, asked the board to approve a coordinated color scheme for 250 Boulevard East. He described the chosen palette and cited a nearby property used as inspiration. "The body color of is is a Benjamin Moore historical color, collection called Ashley Grey," Wilson said while showing the board paint chips and sample references.

The board opened the application to attendees and received no public objections. A member moved to approve the application "as presented," a second was recorded and the board voted to approve the paint scheme. The board encouraged the applicant to proceed and offered a brief comment about process timing for future applications.

Why it matters: Exterior color approvals are a routine but formal HLRB function that preserves district character while allowing coordinated maintenance and restoration. The board recorded no objections and approved the colors during the hearing.

Next steps: With board approval, the homeowners may proceed with the repainting consistent with the approved color chips and coordination with staff if needed.
