Steve Szaday, Preservation Specialist <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: <br />River Bend Local Historic District <br />C. windows and Doors <br />Window and door frames are in most cases «ood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where <br />synthetic siding_ has been applied, window trim has been covered. i\tany structures in the district have aluminum storm <br />windows. Some houses retain wood framed storm windows. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware <br />shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood frame storm %% inflows and doors, painted to match the original, should be used but should not damage existing <br />frames. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. When <br />metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. when awnings are used they <br />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 place. New <br />window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. <br />Inappropriate new window and door features, such as aluminum and insulating glass combinations that require <br />removal of the original windows and doors, shall not be installed. <br />Not recommended <br />Awnings. hoods or fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiberglass should not be used if they, would detract from the existing <br />character or appearance of the building. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff would prefer to see wood Nvâ–șndows installed on this structure. That being said, vinyl windows are <br />already in place on the south side on the ground floor, and an argument can be made that the aesthetics of <br />the property would be better served by creating continuity on the entire floor. With consideration of the <br />existing Standards and Guidelines of the River Bend Local Historic District, staff recommends approval <br />as applied. <br />Written by <br />Adam Tocrin- <br />Depttty Director <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />
