Window and door frames are of wood or steel (some casements) or in the case of brick structures, stone <br />sills and brick lintels. Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. <br />Storm windows are of wood or aluminum. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, <br />pediments, hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and <br />trim resembling the original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not <br />damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and <br />hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to <br />match the existing. When awnings 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 and re -used in <br />place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall <br />not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass <br />combinations that require removal of the 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 if they would <br />detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. <br />Debra Parcell <br />Deputy Director <br />
