STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Structures like the boathouse are not specifically defined within the Standards and Guidelines, and as such, the <br />general text covering building materials, as well as those covering entrances, porches, and steps, are considered for <br />this recommendation. The Standards and Guidelines are explicit that "original porches and steps, including <br />handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations shall be retained or replaced with replicas of the <br />same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair" and that "original porch details should not be <br />replaced with materials representing a different period or style from the original. " Historic precedence exists for <br />this, in the form of a Certificate of Appropriateness issued in April of 1990 that allowed for the "replacing all wood <br />on boathouse with wolmanized lumber." The applicant received approval to reconstruct the handrail earlier this <br />year with RME #2018-0501A. Vinyl is only explicitly mentioned four times in the Standards and Guidelines, in <br />relation to siding and window awnings, hoods, and fake shutters. <br />Staff agrees that the railing should be taller to be compliant with State / International Building Code requirements. <br />The applicant's preference for replacement of the railing is not unfounded, and Staff would support replacement to <br />comply with Code requirements specifically because of the river -front setting of this structure. However, Staff is <br />not convinced that enough investigation on the part of the applicant has occurred to warrant a favorable <br />recommendation. Staff recommends that the application be denied based upon the requirements of the Standards <br />and Guidelines. <br />Written by <br />Adam Toering <br />Historic Preservation Specialist <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Historic Preservation Administrator <br />E <br />is <br />
