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 are <br />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 />III New Construction <br />B. Building Materials <br />Not Recommended: Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be <br />used for anything other than foundations. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the glass block <br />windows in the foundation as glass blocks are not recommended for new construction in <br />the East Wayne Street Guidelines. Also, the foundation windows are not visible from the <br />street as they are obscured by landscaping and the architecture of the house. There are a <br />number of properties in the East Wayne District that have glass block foundation <br />windows: 1209 E. Wayne North, 1319 East Wayne North andl618 East Wayne to <br />mention a few. These glass block windows are not noted on the 1986 survey cards for <br />these residences nor are there applications for and approvals of glass block windows in <br />their files. <br />C.D.
