Windows and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels; masonry block structures have masonry sills and lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should be used but should not damage existing frames and should be removable in the future. If new sash and doors are used, 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. Prohibited Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of replacing the southern and western dormer windows with Pella Lifestyle Aluminum -clad windows as per the submitted application. Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator PETITIONER COMMENTS: Commissioner Downs-Krostenko: I'm confused by what is in the packet, because there is double -hung without divided light in the top, and then there's double -hung with divided light in the top. Which one of these is... Administrator Feasel: Those are just the examples that Pella provided. The window will not have divided light. The windows will replicate the one -over -one windows. Commissioner Downs-Krostenko: So, this one is not entirely accurate. Ms. Ma: This is just the example that was available in the showroom, the other picture — the black one? That is what the windows will look like. Commissioner Downs-Krostenko: This one has divided light, too. So you mean, this one? Ms. M a: Yes. Commissioner Downs-Krostenko: My next question is, are the ones to be installed approximately this size? Ms. Ma: No. This is 47" x 47". Commissioner Down s-Krostenko: And the original is 10" wide? And the replacement is 47" wide? Specialist Toering: The entire window opening is 47" wide, if I am not mistaken. Inside that, I believe there will be two smaller windows. Commissioner Downs-Krostenko: The original was 10" wide, side by side? Twenty total? Ms. Ma: That was not an accurate measurement, that was not the total. It was actually 23" wide. Specialist Toering: Those measurements were an approximation, as (Inspector Szaday) could not accurately measure them as we did not have access to the attic of the structre. Commissioner Downs-Krostenko: So the originals were 23" wide, and the replacement will be 47" for two of them. Ms. Ma: Correct. COMMISSION DISCUSSION: N/A PUBLIC DISCUSSION: N/A Commissioner Stalheim made a motion to approve COA #2019 -1108 -continued as applied. Seconded by Commissioner Annis.
