Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellant coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -washed. C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double -hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES AND STEPS Most houses in the district have either an open or enclosed porch across the front. Most porches have either hip or gabled roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. Required When deteriorated beyond repair, existing or original porches, stoops, patios and steps, including handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design or by a design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles and which are important to the building's historical integrity shall be retained. Recommended When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building. Not Recommended Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of placement and material of window and door adjustments/additions. Remand authority to staff for specific window and door selection. Of the provided examples, 1/1 double hung window style is preferred over casement. Written by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Public Hearing: Rolanda Hughes, 1029 Riverside Drive — I have great appreciation for this house, I think it is my favorite in the whole city. I personally would allow the replacement of those windows, but from my vantage point, if the exterior can be made to be as much in keeping with the existing spirit of the house as possible, it would call for wood, not aluminum -clad wood. The house is wood. It is wood completely, all around, and to my way of thinking, if you can find a good way of replacing the look of that, but you used genuine wood — I would, if I were in your shoes, support that. And the French Door, as well. Again, the house is wood. Commissioner Hertel made a motion to break up COA #2018-1001D into five sub -categories for approval.
