STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 8 December 2015 Application Number: 2015-1208 Property Location: 307 Lamonte Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: 1921/ Colonial Revival Property Owner: Bradley Management LLC Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Rating: Notable DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two storey Colonial Revival is set upon a concrete, rectangular foundation. There are two symmetrical brick chimneys intersecting the gable ends. The first storey is brick while the second storey is stucco with moulded wood band course between the storeys. The side gable roof has asphalt shingles. There is a small segmental entrance roof with moulded entablatures and Doric pilasters at the corners. The windows are 8 -light casement windows grouped in fours on the first storey with soldier lintels. There are 3 - unit casements in the second storey with a pair of 3 -light casements over the entrance. There are fan lights in the gables. ALTERATIONS: The casement windows in the second storey are vinyl replacements. The sidelights at the entrance have been replaced by wood panels. The entrance is secured by plywood. The fan lights in the gables were originally segmented. A wood frame, vinyl sided garage was added with COA#2014-1201 APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace all windows with Jeld-Wen W-2500 aluminum -clad casement, double -hung, and quarter round per quote. Replace asphalt shingles with Certainteed architectural dimensional shingles. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The owner has been restoring the house to a single family dwelling. COA#2014-1202 approved a re -roof with Certain Teed architectural shingles; the re -roof is currently in process. The COA also approved replacement of all windows with Anderson 400 Series Casement with Colonial Grid plus quarter round windows. There was a misunderstanding over the material of the windows — HPC approved aluminum clad as presented when in fact the 400 series is vinyl clad. Staff notified owner of the mistake and owner has determined the Jeld-Wen W-2500 windows to be an acceptable replacement option. The current metal casement windows are inoperable and not repairable and some have been replaced with single pane vinyl replacement windows without divided lights. The proposal is to replace all windows throughout the house including sunroom with a muntin pattern to resemble the originals. The fan lights in the gables will also be replaced with segmented lights to resemble the originals. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: I. EXISTING STRUCTURES C.
