Recommended <br />Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, <br />aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the <br />original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices gables, eaves and other architectural <br />features. <br />[…] <br />B. ROOFS AND ROOFING <br />Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gabled, gambrel, flat and combinations <br />of these. Roofs are covered with a variety of materials such as asphalt, asbestos, wood and slate shingles as well as clay tiles. Residences in <br />most cases have wood fascias with gutters and downspouts. The fascias of some vinyl- and aluminum-sided houses are covered with the <br />same materials. <br />Required <br />The existing shape and type of materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features, which give the roof its essential character, <br />shall be retained, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes. <br />Recommended <br />The original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile and <br />other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with <br />new material that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. Gutters and downspouts are often <br />a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style <br />comparable and suitable to the architectural period. <br />Prohibited <br />Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from a street by adding architectural features or large unsightly <br />fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its <br />character. <br />Not Recommended <br />Overhanging eaves, soffit, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding siding to a building. <br /> <br />C. WINDOWS AND DOORS <br />Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double-hung windows with <br />wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window <br />and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm <br />windows. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and <br />hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new <br />sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they <br />should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. <br />[…] <br /> <br />SITE VISIT REPORT: <br />Administrator Toering and Inspector Ross Van Overberghe toured the property on September 14th, 2021. Photos <br />were taken of the project area documenting the systemic water infiltration that has occurred because of the window <br />well, resulting in complete wall failure on the first floor below. Extensive reconstruction of both the second-floor <br />area and the first floor area below will be required to remedy the long-standing water infiltration. <br /> <br />Staff discussed future projects with Ms. Baumgartner at that time, as this is an extensive rehabilitation of a long- <br />neglected property. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Adam Toering, Historic Preservation Administrator
