Certificates of Appropriateness 1) 1997-0528 - 1721 East Wayne Street, replacement windows Staff presented the Staff comments with supporting photographs, noting that the applicants -and their contractor, Gary Derbin, were present. Mr. Durbin presented a sample of the proposed window type. Mrs. Choitz moved for approval of the COA. Mrs. Hostetler seconded the motion. Mr. fine noted that he felt the sandwich muntins (between two panels of glass) created a significant alteration but that in this case the selected windows were not as.character-giving as the French doors and that the existing storm, panels presently obscured the effect of the muntins. On balance he felt the sandwich muntins created an effect truer to the original than interior muntin systems and felt the replacement was appropriate. Mr. Albright stated that he felt the French doors were irreplaceable with beveled glass, etc. Mr. Oxian noted that there had never been an application to replace French doors. Mrs. Albright noted that the French doors were problematic for thermal efficiency and Mr. Oxian agreed, stating that many new homes still featured French Doors although they were not greatly improved in energy efficiency.
