Il. EXISTING STRUCTURES <br />C. WINDOWS AND DOORS <br />Window and door frames are in most cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases <br />where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district <br />have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood windows. <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 damage existing <br />frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should <br />be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When <br />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 reused in place. New <br />window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced. <br />Inappropriate new window and door features, such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal <br />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 detract from <br />the existing character or appearance of the building. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As the new window will be difficult to see when installed behind the <br />existing storm, Staff recommends approval. <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />Deb Parcell <br />Deputy Director <br />
