Mr. Talley presented the staff recommendations for the gable vents. There was some discussion over where the vents will go and how they would affect the stucco and half timbers. Mr. Van Overberghe discussed the need for air flow to cool off the attic space. Mrs. Sporleder asked if the vents could be treated with a stucco like substance to make them blend with the existing walls. Mr. Van Overberghe stated that by adding stucco would constrict the vents and make them unproductable. He further noted that the vents will be flush mounted and painted to match the existing siding and stucco. Mr. Fine stated that a vent would not be out of style with the house and does not need to be hidden. Mr. Zmyslo interjected that perhaps if the vents were made of wood it may blend better with the stucco siding and half timbers. Mr. Talley asked if the vent could be split in half with either piece being installed on either side of the half timber on the lower east elevation gable. Mr. Van Overberghe expressed concern about the split vent not being efficient. Mr. Talley stated that staff recommends approval of the vents in the west, upper east and north gables with the stipulation that they be painted to match the siding and/or stucco. He further stated that the Staff recommends approval of the installation of two right angle vents into the lower east elevation gable. The two vents are to be installed in the stucco, under the half timbers and on either side of the middle half timber and is also to be painted to match the stucco. Mr. Zmyslo moved to approve the installation of the vents based on staffs recommendation. Mr. Fine seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. 1999-0910 - 1307 East Wayne Street, window replacement. Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. He also noted that the owner, Pam Bickel, was present. Mrs. Hostetler moved to approve the application as recommended by staff. Mrs. Choitz seconded the motion. Mr. Zmyslo asked if all the windows were double hung. Mrs. Bickel stated that all double hung windows would be replaced with double hung windows and all casements would be replaced with casement windows. She further noted that the mutin patterns would all match the original windows with the mutin located on the inside rather then the outside. The motion passed unanimously. III. Regular Business A.
