house. Although the house has severely peeling paint, window reconfigurations and removed architectural <br />trim and drip mouldings, the wood is still in good condition and could be painted. If painted properly the <br />paint should last 15 years. Mr. Butcher does not want to prep the house and paint it because it would take <br />too long. He has already invested in some of the materials and has applied vinyl cladding to some <br />windows and corner boards. According to the 1987 Survey card with house had already undergone major <br />alterations and was covered with asbestos siding and had aluminum replacement storm windows and <br />doors. There have been additional, significant changes to the several of the windows on the sides of the <br />house since 1987. The project to re -side the house was started in 2002, prior to the local district <br />designation, but the project was never completed and the permit expired. <br />Staff recommends approval of the vinyl siding with the stipulation that it only cover the clapboards and <br />leaves the shingles in the gables exposed and that the dentil work on the porch remain in tact. <br />The Chair recognizes the homeowners, Vic and Susan Butcher to speak on behalf of this project. Mrs. <br />Butcher offers that several modifications have been made to the house, even before they purchased it. So, <br />it is dijfcult to say exactly what the original appearance of the exterior would be, and would be <br />impossible to replicate the original appearance. The Chair opens the discussion to include <br />Commissioners that may have questions regarding the CoA. <br />Tim Klusczinski asks if the siding has already been purchased, and asked what the .40 gauge refers to - <br />either inches or centimeters. Mr. Butcher replies that the siding has not yet been purchased, but that he <br />has already made some investment in preparing the house for the work. Mr. Butcher adds that he's not <br />sure if the measurement is in inches or centimeters. <br />Linda Riley (referring to photos provided to the Commission) asks the homeowners about the condition of <br />the house right now, and whether or not the photos show peeling paint, or a stripped fagade. Mrs. <br />Butcher answers that the front of the house has been stripped, and states that upon removal of the <br />shingles a lot of the wood was found to be in poor condition. Mr. Butcher adds that he's not sure what the <br />material of the shingles was, but thinks that it was asphalt and not asbestos and assures the Commission <br />that materials were disposed of properly. <br />Lynn Patrick questions the condition of the wood clapboards. Mr. Butcher answers that some of the <br />clapboards aren't in bad shape overall, but that some portions of the exterior have taken the brunt of the <br />weather etc, so it varies by location. Lynn Patrick also asks the homeowner to estimate the cost of <br />project. Mr. Butcher replies that the project should be in the $4000 range to complete. <br />Mary Jane Chase questions the details of the CoA and wishes for clarification on what will or will not be <br />sided. Mr. Butcher answers that the exposed areas of detail work, gables etc. will be restored and <br />painted. Mr. Butcher notes that there are only two areas that wouldn't be sided as the clapboards cover <br />almost the entire surface of the exterior with the exception of the gable that includes a window and faces <br />Leland Avenue, and the overhang of the porch. <br />Tim Klusczinski asks if destruction of the sill ears would be necessaryfor installation of the j -channel. <br />Mr. Butcher replies that it will not be necessary to do so. Mr. Butcher reassures the Commission that in <br />his opinion, from the street one will not be able to tell that the siding is vinyl, as it is his intention to <br />restore the historically accurate appearance of the house as much as possible with as little maintenance <br />as required. Tim Klusczinski confirms that the house is properly insulated. Mr. Butcher confirms that <br />there is blown in insulation. <br />Gerald Ujdak question the homeowners on what type of siding their considering, either Twin 4 or S? Mr. <br />Butcher answer that they're now leaning towards the Triple -3 siding as it most closely resembles the <br />original clapboards which are 3 and 5/8s. Gerald Ujdak also inquires after color selection. Mrs. <br />Butchers answers that the siding will be beige or ecru. The accent and picture framing will be cranberry <br />in color, as shown in the photos provided to the Commission. <br />
