The first.would- concur with the staff report and recommend that the existing 'vinyl. siding remain and the wood siding be retained and repaired.- The second option would allow the vinyl siding to be installed, however, all .significant architectural• details would, be retained. Such features would consist of 'the dentil trim,= the oval window with modified keystone elements, the gables - with, shingles and, trim and' the flared skirting detail between the first and second floor.

Committee has chosen to go with the second, option as its firm recommendation - and that the -owner should work in conjunction with Mr. .Duvall in accomplishing these tasks (see attachment for booth options). Mrs.-Choitz noted that the repair of the columns located on the front porch should be added to the recommendation. Mrs. Sporleder-further reiterated that the amount of deterioration and work it would take to repair the existing siding did not warrant the extra'financial stress it would cause the owner. .She also noted that the proposal of covering the existing siding with vinyl while leaving major architectural- elements exposed and visible_ would be the .'best solution.' Mr. Montel stated that .the cedar, shingles in the gable would be left alone and that the dentil elements and oval windows •would be sided around. He also. noted -that a friend of his could bend aluminum to replicate the flared element 'between floors. Mrs. Sporleder moved to approve recommendation "B" -(see, attachment) with the addition that the front porch columns be repaired and that the vinyl siding go over - the existing siding. Mrs. Petarass seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.' Mr. Oxian stated that. Mr. Montel.would be working with Mr. Duvall in accomplishing this -task. B. Historic Landmarks d
