SITE VISIT REPORT: February 21, 2017 At approximately 5 pm I met with the owners of the property located at 1312 LWE at the property. They had informed me of the desire to change out windows, repair the front porch, and paint the exterior of the property this year. Starting with the porch; the decking is rotted in the main traffic area between the steps and the front door. Patch repairs have been made just to improve approach, but a tear off needs to happen and new material installed to increase safety. The railings have been toe -nailed into place with some repairs as well. The railings are currently 2x4 with 2x2 spindles. The railings need to be replaced with rails that have proper design to allow water to roll over and off and clearance for water to run off of porch. The paint which is only a few years old is peeling considerably all on its own. There are no vents on either the faces of the house nor the soffits. Areas of the cedar shake closer to the peaks are curling off the house as a result of this lack of ventilation. The windows are in varied condition of wear and repair. Eight (8) of the exterior sills are rotted completely • through. I can bare handed squeeze them and they come apart. Due to the failure of the window sills the jambs and frames are need of structural repairs. Six (6) non -original windows on the rear and west side of the house were improperly installed and fitted poorly. Most (75%) of the upper sashes in the main and second floor (original windows) are in repairable shape although painted shut and slipped down. Unfortunately, most of the bottom sashes, and sills are dry rotted and should be replaced. The majority of the windows are deteriorated beyond repair as a result of the failed sills, deteriorating jambs, and structural adjustments that need to be performed to the frames themselves. Steve Szaday Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, LINCOLN WAY EAST: (D) GUIDELINE COMPONENTS Statements within the guidelines which specify the requirements and recommendations for the preservation of the characteristic relationships of the various features which are of significance to the appearance of the Local Historic District. "Shall" is defined as an expression of something that is mandatory or must be done. "Should" is defined as an expression of obligation, something that ought to be done but that is open to compromise. II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. Building Materials Wall materials in the District range from brick, clapboard, decorative shingles and asphalt and asbestos siding to aluminum siding. In the majority of cases the aluminum siding has been applied over the original clapboard. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing or original architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves should be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry structures shall be maintained, repointed and properly cleaned when necessary. Masonry shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done with the gentlest method possible, such as low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. No chemicals, sandblasting or other invasive methods may be used to clean historic buildings. Stucco surfaces shall be maintained by cleaning and repainting when necessary. When repairing Stucco, a stucco mixture shall be used. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Aluminum or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative to maintaining the original surface material. When used on wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. However, it must be noted that such material can contribute to the deterioration of the structure form moisture and insects. Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint profile. It is emphasized that, prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort, the property owner contact the Historic Preservation
