I noticed a box truck in the driveway and someone on a ladder installing a window on the second <br />story. I stopped and introduced myself and my business card. I inquired if any building permits were obtained, the <br />gentleman informed me that he is a Lowe's subcontractor and they handle all that. He informed me that the owner <br />was home and he would get her. I approached the door introduced myself and gave her my card. She informed me <br />that she read that guidelines and that she was under the impression that the work being performed was within those <br />guidelines since her house was rated non-contributing in the guidebook. I informed her that any work anywhere in <br />the county that materials cost more than $400 required a building permit. In any case, the house is still a part of a <br />designated historic district and a change in materials is being performed, the Historic Preservation Commission <br />would still have to have an approved Certificate of Appropriateness before the Building Department could issue a <br />
