CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />This is a somewhat complicated application as several of its items may not <br />require a COA or might be approved by Staff. However, as some itemsclearly <br />require review.by the commission, we are presenting the total here.Staff <br />appreciates the effort of the Owner to comply with regulations by the <br />submittal. <br />The most significant item to be addressed is the siding issue. The house has <br />been previously sided with aluminum Biding which was installed over all trim <br />features which have been obscured or removed. The Owner proposes to either <br />remove thi . s 'siding and install vinyl siding -or paint.the existing siding. <br />The guid . elines indicate that when siding -is -removed, restoration existing <br />historical siding (i.e. siding repair -and painting) is.encouraged. Staff <br />.presumes -.that restoration of the wood siding would not be problematic but that <br />.many facing and moulding features would probably be found to be missing or <br />damaged. It is fairly certain that a shingle gable would be found and Staff <br />encourages the Owner.to.at-least restore this feature. On the other hand, it <br />would probably be -feasible to install vinyl siding over the aluminum in this <br />case as nearly all. details have already been removed or obscured. From the <br />viewpoint -of replicating original.appearance in.new siding, the proposed vinyl <br />siding would better represent board size and spacing while the existing <br />aluminum would better represent the.mitered corner condition probable for the <br />original. <br />Staff would prefer a solution of removing the aluminum, replacing missing trim <br />features, and.repair and painting of the original siding. From our experience, <br />this would be the least.expensive,.most autbenti'c, and best appearing <br />approach. However, any.of*the approaches outlined above would meet the <br />requirements of.the guidelines-. In the case of the proposal to remove aluminum <br />and replace -with vinyl, Staff would encourage the replacement of at least <br />selectedtrimfeatures. <br />The installation of terracing would require approval. However,we understand <br />this item to have been reconsidered and Staff recommends,approval of the <br />planting of groundc.overon the embankment. <br />The gates proposed for replacement are composed of bent; tubular frames with <br />braided wire infill these gates are character giving features. They are <br />characteristic of design from the 1920s and 30s and are at this point in time <br />rare. Staff would recommend their repair and retention if possible in <br />coordination with the proposed new fencing. This fencing is typical of the <br />neighborhood and Staff recommends approval of this item. <br />Surface features at the back yard, including the removal of pavers, and <br />painting of the garage and porch do not require review. <br />Finally the replacement ofthe awning may be approved by Staff although we <br />would recommend its removal. <br />DBD - <br />3/11/98 <br />
