Preservation Specialist, Wayne Doolittle, met with Mr. Schmiedeler on August 25 at the house and inspected the windows. It is Mr. Doolittle's opinion that the double hung windows are in good repair, but are painted shut. Some of the sash cords are missing, but after the windows are opened, they can be easily repaired. He also is of the opinion that the lead paint concerns of the homeowner will not be alleviated by replacing the window sashes since the interior of the house was painted with lead based paint between 1929-1978. That being said, the Commission has routinely approved replacement windows East Wayne Street District even when they were not deteriorated beyond repair and has shown a preference for the SDL feature proposed for these replacements. Staff prefers that the windows be repaired. President Klusczinski: Please state your names and addresses for the record. James Schmiedeler: I am James Schiniedeler living at 1611 E. Wayne Street.
