Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, <br />decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they <br />shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but <br />should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or <br />original materials, design, and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are <br />used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings <br />are used they should be of canvas material. <br />Prohibited <br />Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored <br />and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and <br />proportion of the building shall not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door <br />features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of the <br />original windows and doors shall not be installed. <br />Not Recommended <br />Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used <br />if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the replacement of the <br />garage door, supported by the auxiliary nature of the structure and its placement toward <br />the rear of the house. Furthermore, the carriage style of the garage door is comparable in <br />style to that of the two original garage doors and will not detract in appearance from the <br />surrounding structures. <br />
