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. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed. Not Recommended Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
