DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The non -original aluminum storms were improperly sized and have done considerable damage to the sills and window openings. The owners are looking for a quality replacement that will keep the look but allow ease of use, cleaning, ventilation, and more sound attenuation from the busy Jefferson Blvd. • STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: East Wavne Street: C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are of wood or steel (some casements) or in the case of brick structures, stone sills and brick lintels. Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Storm windows are of wood or aluminum. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, 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 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 shall not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as although 80% of the sashes are not beyond repair, other components of the windows such as the sills are. The 11 windows with the "hidden" storm shutters will need new customized sills, insulation, and additional support added just to achieve functioning windows that can keep elements and sound out. (Steve Szaday-Preservation Specialist) On a motion by Tom Gordon with a second by Mike Voll to deny application as presented. Vote: 7 — 0 unanimous. Jennifer Parker: No evidence of replacement window. Tom Gordon: Not convinced that these windows have to be replaced that they cannot be restored along with the second point if we decided to replace, what those replacements would look like. My major point is restoration. Mike Voll: Incomplete application presented to the board. Timothy Klusczinski: No representation by the applicants this evening. Saw no compelling evidence that the window examples pictured or described were damaged beyond repair or that certain segments or even the worst case windows couldn't be remedied with some new material and that trying to change over or use an excuse of some poorly functioning windows in a replacement strategy for the entire structure doesn't seem valid to me and that the Anderson Renewal line windows that were suggested by the application were not modeled or pictures so I could determine what those replacement varieties would look like in place of the windows that are there. Kevin Buccellato: Lack of documentation for complete application. Michele Gelfman: Lack of information concerning the replacement windows as well as incomplete documentation. Brandon Anderson: Incomplete application and no representation to answer the questions.
