Not Recommended Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The casement steel windows have clearly deteriorated on the interior. The Preservation Specialist feels that the casements windows could be re- conditioned and fitted with invisible interior storms. The homeowner has complied with the Commissioners' request to address their concerns about the use of the two panel slider as an egress and has detailed where each of the replacement windows would be located. The homeowner has demonstrated that the replacement windows will replicate as closely as possible the current windows. The exceptions are the double hung window proposed for the west side lower level and the sliding window for east side lower window replacement option. The double hung window will be located in the rear of the house and not visible from the street. The homeowner stated that sliding window proposed on the east lower level is the closest to what can be done for an operational window without going to a casement for $1500.00 and that this window is partially obscured by trees and bushes. Motion to approve as amended *: Made: Lynn Patrick Second: David Sassano Vote: 4 -0 *Muntins will not be "colonial" style. Petitioners found more suitable pattern that more closely replicates the original lites.
