The large picture windows that were in the TV room faces the rear addition and is covered with a stick type texture plastic to obscure view. The remaining 10 windows facing LWE are part of the enclosed porch. These windows are three high, two banks of three across and two banks two across. These are non-functioning horizontal casement windows due to storm windows being added to the outside. I talked to the director and she explained that several of the past residents _had_broken the windows from.the_inside.out. This is a safe Place for runaways and troubled children. She had explained that screws in the windows were in place to help keep the windows in place and weather tight. She also expressed concerns with the remaining original glass and the nature of it to chard when broken as several past tenants had hurt themselves while trying to leave the building and breaking glass in the process. I would also like to point out that the additional enclosed walkway between the house and the rear office (adapted garage) have 14 replacement windows and the rear office has 6 additional vinyl replacement windows as well.

If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used.

Not Recommended Awnings, hoods and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of replacement windows pending exact determination of window style/location, and denial of covering exterior wood trim and crowns with PVC -coated aluminum coil stock.
