STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed Champion windows are a special order that will replicate the muntin pattern of the original metal casement windows. (Exhibit A&B) The muntin pattern will be positioned between the glass panes. The HPC has routinely approved replacement casement windows in the East Wayne Street LHD even when they were not deteriorated beyond repair with preference given to exterior "true divided light" exterior muntins. (Exhibit D) Staff recommends approval with the condition that the muttons are dimensional muttons and not the flat muttons. Staff recommends approval of the two glass block basement window installations with the vents as long as they are not visible from the street. 3
