J STAFF . REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: August 5, 2009 Application Number: 2009-07060 -Nvitli waiver Property Location: 1704 East Wayne Street Architectural Sty) e/Date/Architect or Builder: Split Level/1953 Property Owner: Brenda and David Bickel Landmark or District Designation: —East Wayne Street Rating: Non-Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: 1704 E. Wayne is a two , storcy frame home with a brick fiicade on the first storey and vinyl "clapboard" siding on the second storey and the remaining three sides of the house.. The house has a rectangular plan. The gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles and simple raking trim. The first storey has a large front picture window with double 4 light casements in wood frames with limestone sills. There are paired 4 light casements on the 211d floor. There is a side brick chimney. The entry has a shed canopy supported by turned wood columns and railings set upon a concrete stoop. There is one storey gable roof side wing. There is a detached garage with siding and a gable roof with asphalt shingles. C� ALTERATIONS: The wrought iron posts and railings have been replaced with wood. The vinyl siding on the three sides of the house and second storey on the front of the house as well as the vinyl wrapping of all of the windows have been added. APPLI ITEMS: 15 solid vinyl replacement windows (15 openings). We are not modifying any openings. Large picture is NOT included. The grids/muntins will be colonial style, nothing matches our current pattern nor can we get anything to match per contractor. The goal of the project is to: I Increase the individual 5 sq ft opening of the windows (Fire Hazard for the second floor). The windows are not easy to open, the storms and screens are held into place by 4 screws that require pliers and a screwdriver to remove. The steel bar in the middle of the window doesn't allow for a larger person to exit quickly. 2. Reduce mold, mildew and moisture on the window pane, sill, jamb and head surrounding interior walls. 3. Insulate windows to increase energy savings and lower heating and cooling bills. 4. Not modify current window openings. 5. Make an Eco-Friendly choice with a vinyl product. Because vinyl never needs to be painted, it helps eliminate paint, stain and other maintenance- related products form entering the waste stream or releasing volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. Also, vinyl resin is derived largely from common salt- a sustainable and abundant natural resource. Source: "A Clear View: Vinyl Window and the Environment" DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners wish to completely replace all of the metal casement windows in the home with solid vinyl double hung windows from Richards Building Supply Company to approximate the muntin pattern of the original windows.
