of two Jeld-Wen vinyl windows and one Pella ThermaStar vinyl window. I assisted him in his application <br />and his product information. <br />Upon my next visit, I realized that there were actually four new windows. I do not know if the window <br />located the farthest east of the front porch was changed at the same time as the others. My previous <br />photographs had the view of the window blocked by a tree or I had simply not noticed it. It is clear to see <br />that the three windows are the same manufacturer as the screen is continuous on the exterior as opposed <br />to the other Pella at the front of the house. These are all different from the previously approved and <br />installed vinyl windows located on the north side first story. I attempted three times to call the number on <br />the application to clarify and got a busy signal all three times. <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: <br />C. WINDOWS AND DOORS <br />Window and door frames are in most cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In <br />some cases where additional siding has been applied window trim has been covered. Many structures in <br />the district have aluminum storm windows. Some houses retain wood framed storm windows. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative <br />glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced <br />with units and trim resembling the original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not <br />damage existing frames and should be removable. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or <br />original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors and windows are used, <br />they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be <br />of canvas material. <br />Prohibited <br />Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re- <br />used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the <br />building shall not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features, such as aluminum <br />insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors, shall not <br />be installed. <br />Not Recommended <br />Awnings, hoods and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl or fiberglass should not be used if they would <br />detract from the existing character or appearance of the building. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of original wood windows being replaced <br />with vinyl windows. Staff would prefer to see applicant propose a wood window option. <br />Written by <br />Adam Toering <br />Deputy Director <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />Commissioner Buccellato moved for approval as submitted.
