CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT <br />RECOMMENDATION. <br />Staff makes various recommendations with regard to the <br />items of the proposal as follows: <br />1) The existing front door was found to be in sound <br />condition with no visible reason for replacement. Staff <br />recommends denial of this item. Furthermore, the standards <br />indicate that if the existing door is replaced that the <br />existing hardware should be retained. <br />2) The standards clearly support installation of a wood <br />screen (or storm) door. The full view aspect of the design <br />allows maximum visual exposure of the entry door. Staff <br />recommends approval of this item. <br />3) Although it is not possible to ascertain the <br />originality of the shutters which have been removed, fixed <br />decorative shutters would clearly have been appropriate to <br />the original design of this house. Staff would prefer that <br />replacement shutters be of unraised wood panel design to <br />replicate the material previously removed. The new <br />material should be painted to match the historic <br />condition. <br />
