RECOMMENDATION <br />The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. <br />The owner wishes to replace all of the existing double -hung, wood windows with <br />new double -hung vinyl windows. All of the new windows would have the same light <br />divisions as the existing. The owner is also requesting new landscaping for the front and <br />side yard (see attached plan). The new landscaping will not require the removal of <br />anything; it only requires the planting of two trees, several bushes and various plants. <br />The staff finds that the proposed window replacement is with in the guidelines. The only <br />things on this house that are not cladded in vinyl siding are the window sashes and <br />various eave decorations. The windowsills and cases are all cladded in vinyl, thus, the <br />staff feels that going with vinyl windows is acceptable and recommends approval. The <br />staff also recommends approval of the landscape project; it will greatly increase the curb <br />appeal of the house with out causing any ill affects. <br />2 <br />
