Wayne is a 2 storey frame construction with a steep multi -gable roof set on an irregular floor plan situated on a corner lot. The roof has asphalt shingles and wall dormers through the cornice. The walls are stucco with half timbering in the gable. The windows are 12 light casement style. There is a Tudor arch entry door with full length louvered shutters. There is an attached garage with gabled roof on the south side of the house and an enclosed porch on the north side of the house.

Some of the windows appear to be replacements. APPLICATION ITEMS: Please see attached and Exhibits A -I provided by homeowners. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowners wish to remove the original Tudor door and frame which is in poor condition and replace it with a fiberglass Mahogany top view Craftsman 6 Light Camber Top door by Jeld Wen. It will not have the dentil shelf option. The homeowners have met with Staff over the past year concerning the condition of the door. They have explored options of custom wood doors and do not feel the investment in such an expensive door with a one year warranty is a prudent option. They also have been advised against placing a storm door as the eastern exposure would create a moisture issue between the storm door and the house door which would further contribute to deterioration. Preservation Specialist, Steve Szaday, believes that the installation of a storm door would not contribute to the deterioration of an entry door. His comments are attached.
