Mr. Pastor reported that the owner, Mr. Cochrane, wished to replaced eight aluminum double -hung sashes on the front porch with double insulated glass and applied muntins. The number of windows and the size of the window openings are to remain the same. Mr. Pastor distributed Polaroids of the existing structure. Mr. Cochrane said he wanted to make the porch a year-round livable space. As it is, it is too cold. Mrs. Sporleder asked him to describe any other plans he had for making the porch livable. He listed a number of changes, all to the interior. Mr. Oxian worried that the distinction between house and porch might be lost. This distinction might be preserved by using 1/1 double hung sashes, which would contrast to the 6/1 double hung sashes on the rest of the house. Mr. Cochrane pointed out that the muntins were applied muntins. Mrs. Choitz moved to approve Mr. Cochrane's proposal; Mr. Eide seconded; Mr. Oxian abstained. Motion approved. 2. 621 Lincolnway East --Local Historic District. Mr. Pastor read a five-part proposal for this house. He said the case had been brought to the attention of staff by the Department of Code Enforcement who had sited the property for code violations. He distributed photos of the house. No certificate of appropriateness violations had occurred. He said he had reviewed the district standards and found only one possible source of problems in the proposal --the removal of the rear porch addition, which would reveal part of the facade. Mrs. Sporleder asked the owner, Mr. MacHatton, what would be uncovered when the porch came off. He said he didn't know. Mr. MacHatton said he hoped to get advice from the Commission architects on how to best carry out his proposals. Mr.Oxian advised itemizing the five parts of the proposal and voting on each separately. Mr. Pastor proceeded to read each staff recommendation individually.
