Sassano: Just one more question, Mr. Chairman? <br />Klusczinski. Please. <br />Sassano: Assuming that we were to approve this, who would be responsible for designing <br />and coordinating all of the detailed parts of this? It seems to me that even if you were to <br />go ahead with this there's a lot of design work in this, and determinations that would <br />have to be made and how details get handled. Who would do that? <br />Czarnecki: To my understanding it would be from Window World because he is <br />knowledgeable and he has done other historical homes. <br />Payne: We're actually licensed in lead paint stabilization. <br />Sassano: What does that have to do with the design details and determining how to <br />create... ? <br />Klusczinski: Who would be accountable for the project? That's another way to say it. <br />Payne: We would work with Sharon and the owner on that... <br />Sassano: Are you going to prepare shop drawings? <br />Payne: I guess if necessary, yeah we could. <br />Sassano: Have you ever done that before? <br />Payne: Not personally, but we do have someone that could. <br />Sassano: Who's that? <br />Payne: Dennis (name unclear) the owner of the company. <br />Hostetler: What about the curved glass? <br />Payne: I'm sorry? <br />Hostetler: The window on the front of the house has curved glass. <br />Payne: Yeah, we were going to propose installing a bow window with three bow <br />casements. <br />Sassano: And when were you going to propose that? <br />Payne: It's in this one... <br />Sassano: Oh, it is? I didn't pick that up, I'm sorry. <br />Payne: It's the only way to do anything like that, to do a three light bow. <br />Sassano: You can still get curved glass. <br />Payne: I don't think so, not in a thermal pack. <br />Sassano: Well... <br />Payne: If it's there, we'll get it. <br />Klusczinski: Thank you, we'll need to move on to Commission discussion at this point. 1 <br />would like to share a couple of points with the Commission. In sympathy with the staff <br />recommendation, the Group B standards for rehabilitation; page one of those standards <br />indicate that the building be maintained as is and if possible returned to original. The <br />standards for material changes: additions and improvements involving any new material <br />in a landmark should be of the same material as the original. Windows, in this case, <br />vinyl clad? <br />Hostetler: The original windows? <br />Klusczinski. No, the replacements. <br />Hostetler: Yes, vinyl clad. <br />Klusczinski. It should be the same size and texture though there were a couple of times <br />that I picked up that the applicants didn't necessarily know if that could be fulfilled. It <br />also says that an alternative material could be used if it duplicates the original- may be <br />allowed, if. Wood or wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. <br />And, for siding material, the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of <br />original materials with additional siding. This is an outstanding rated local historic <br />landmark and I'm not sure what harm would come to this particular building if this <br />particular project comes to fruition. And I'm not sure that anyone of us can make that <br />assessment other than if it's rated outstanding right now and proposed, existing features <br />of the building were to be covered then that certainly be in the building's long term best <br />interest. Having said that, I'd also like to hear everyone's thoughts here on this matter. <br />7 <br />
