• block. She cited this as "precedent." <br />Mr. Eide asked why she wanted the sliding window. Mrs. TenBroeck <br />answered that it "was impossible for her to lean over the <br />cabinetry ... and raise the window." <br />Ms. Brubaker asked about the other house with replacement vinyl <br />windows in the neighborhood. Mrs. TenBroeck answered that she <br />thought they had been done in the previous several years. <br />Ms. Brubaker asked about the cost differential between wood and <br />her proposed windows and whether alternative repairs had been <br />considered. Mrs. TenBroeck cited the difference as being between <br />$4500 and $10,000 and that previous repairs had not been <br />successful. <br />Ms. Brubaker stated that she would be unwilling to approve <br />replacement of historic windows. Mrs. TenBroeck reiterated her <br />problems with the windows. <br />Ms. Brubaker made other suggestions for repair and replacement <br />of parts rather than total removal. She then asked the staff if <br />they had inspected the project window by window. <br />• Ms. Kotzbauer replied that she had not; Mr. Holycross replied <br />that the owner had presented staff with a proposal she was <br />committed to, in such cases the staff would help the owner <br />gather the necessary information for the commission to review <br />and make suggestions if they so desired. <br />Mr. Oxian turned the matter over to a COA Committee for them to <br />come up with a appropriate compromise; the committee would <br />review the matter and work with the owner. <br />Mr. Holycross stated that the commission must approve or deny a <br />COA within thirty days. Mr. Oxian responded that the commission <br />need only "act" on the matter within that time, tabling would be <br />acting. <br />Mr. Eide suggested that the committee pay a visit to the site. <br />The committee and owner agreed that they would meet with the <br />owner at her home on Wednesday, February 17 at 5:30 pm. The <br />committee would then make a determination and report to the <br />commission in March. <br />Mr. Oxian stated that he remained concerned with the project: he <br />would want replacement windows that "match" the original windows <br />exactly and, only if the original windows were deteriorated. He <br />also told the owner that she would need to compromise, <br />especially with the kitchen windows. <br />5. 557 River Ave. -- Edgewater Place LHD <br />Ms. Kotzbauer read the staff report describing the <br />proposed project: stabilize the garage structurally; replace <br />4 <br />
