2.2000-0104 — 516 N. St. Joseph, windows. Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. He further noted that a representative of the window company was present. The representative stated that normal installation would require that the trim be wrapped creating a maintenance free window. He further noted that all the trim would need to be painted to match the newly wrapped trim. There was some discussion over the fact that existing siding and trim is wood. There was further discussion over where a window leaks air. Mrs. Sporleder asked if the weight wells would be filled in. The representative stated that the weight wells would be insulated with fiberglass insulation. Mrs. Sporleder asked if the window was insulated glass and where the screen would be located. The representative stated that the window was insulated glass and that the screen would be located on the outside. Mrs. Sporleder moved to approve replacement of the two windows with vinyl framed double hung insulated glass windows with the stipulation that the wood trim not be wrapped. Mr. Weiner seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Oxian moved to alter the agenda taking 1142 Lincolnway East out of the Standards and Maintenance Committee and making it number three under Certificates of Appropriateness and to move the nomination of officers from the Executive Committee to New Business. Mrs. Hostetler seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 3. 1999-1117 —1142 Lincolnway East, siding. Mr. Talley stated that do to the absence of the Standards and Maintenance Committee Chairman the staff does not have a committee report to present. Mrs. Hostetler reported that the second story window replacement was approved and that the Committee had requested statements illustrating the cost difference between repairing the existing siding and covering it with vinyl. Mrs. Hostetler read the bid by Tool Time Home Improvement for the repair of the siding, which stated that approximately 65% to 75% of the existing siding had some form of rot, which will need to be replaced prior to painting. She further read the list of repairs needed to save the wood siding and that the total cost of repairs would be $13,000.00. Mr. Bernth stated that the cost of repairs were double the estimate for vinyl siding. There was some discussion over how much siding on each fagade needed replacing. Mr. Talley noted that the estimate was very close to that given by the committee. Mrs. Sporleder expressed concern over trapped moister and the need for a scuffer. Mr. Oxian asked if gutters would be installed. Mrs. Sporleder noted that the committee was not recommending gutters. Mr. Oxian asked what would happen to the rotted siding. Mr. Bernth stated that the wet, rotted wood would be cut out. Mr. Oxian asked what caused the deterioration of the wood siding. Mr. Bernths' contractor stated that the deterioration was caused by lack of up keep and insulation causing ice back up in the winter. Mr. Ujdak noted that the owner needed to insulate the attic to prevent ice from backing up in the future. The contractor expressed the need for gutters to catch the ice as it melts. Mrs. Sporleder moved to approve the following: installation of wood textured vinyl siding that matches the width of the existing siding with proper ventilation, installation of heated scuffers and downspouts in the large valleys, retention of the division of stories, ventilation of soffits, all with out siding the fascia boards, shakes, window trim and frames. 13
