STAFF RECOMMENDATION: No one is quite sure if the current windows are original to the house. The survey card indicates a 6/6 double hung pattern, while what is currently on the house is a mix of 6/6 on the second floor and 8/8 on the first floor in addition to other muntin patterns. Staff was unable to do an interior inspection of the windows; however what staff could observe from the exterior was that cosmetically the front first floor windows appeared to be OK. However, Bob Grant of Bob Grant Construction, Inc. performed an interior inspection and concluded that the windows require extensive repairs and that five of the fourteen are of an inferior quality. Staff recommends approval of the replacement windows.
