side entry. There is a corbelled brick chimney. A two car, two door garage is at the rear in an angled placement to accommodate the tapered lot site. ALTERATIONS: The 1960 Sanborn map indicates that the angled garage at the rear of the property had yet to be added. 41 Scrutinizing the manufacture of some of the existing casement windows indicates their installation sometime during the 1950s. CoA 1994-0516 approved the repointing of the masonry mortar and the replacement of broken bricks. CoA 2009-0518 approved the tear -off and re -roof of the asphalt -shingled roof. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Remove & replace windows." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks retroactive approval for the removal and replacement of nineteen (19) of the twenty-five (25) windows on the house, as well as to replace the driveway side exterior entry door and storm door nearest to the garage. Reasons for doing so include the inoperable nature of some of the windows, privacy concerns in a bathroom, and security concerns. The application can be divided into three components: 1. Replacement of sixteen (16) windows with Marvin Ultimate Casement metal -clad wood windows with divided light. The street face / West elevation has the following distribution: a four -unit casement on the ground floor, a three - unit casement on the second floor, and a two -unit casement on the second floor. The driveway / South elevation has the following distribution: a single -unit casement and a two -unit casement unit on the ground floor on either side of the side -entry door, and a two -unit casement on the second floor. The South East elevation has a two -unit casement on the ground floor, a two -unit casement on the second floor, and a single unit casement on the second floor abutting the garage roof. On the second floor of the East face of the garage there is a two -unit casement window. The North East elevation has a four -unit casement and two (2) two -unit casements on either side of the fire place on the ground floor, and two (2) two -unit casements and a single -unit casement on the second floor, as well as a single -unit casement on the ground floor of the garage. The windows being replaced are not original to the house, and have no divisions. 2. Replacement of three (3) windows with glass block. These three windows are obscured from the street and are being blocked -up for security or privacy reasons. Two of the windows on the garage had interior security bars installed and were inoperable. One of these windows is on the ground floor of the east face of the garage and is partly obscured by bushes, while the second is on the north east face of the garage. The third window is on the second floor of the driveway / South elevation and is part of a bathroom, and the request to install glass block is for security or privacy reasons. 3. Replacement of the side entry door and storm door with new construction Therma Tru fiberglass -clad wood - and -insulation door and a Larson wooden storm door, respectively. The current door has 12 glass panels (3 x 4) above and a single decorative wood panel below, and is possibly original to the house. The current storm door insert has four horizontal divisions in a 3/4 lite door. The replacement door appears to be a Therma-Tru Smooth -Star® Craftsman Lite 2 Panel Shaker Flush -Glazed (Style No. S4814XC-SDLF1). Therma-Tru's website offers models that are more in keeping with the existent door (for example, Smooth -Star® 3/4 Lite 1 Panel Flush -Glazed, Style No. S2250- SDL). Multiple windows are not being replaced. These include a "circle top" on the street face, a basement window and an original window in the attic near the top of the gable wall on the driveway / South side, a glass block window on the South East side abutting the garage, and two basement windows on the North East side. Additional information and photographs are attached. PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT: January 15, 2018 RE: 1203 E Wayne St South On January 11, I was asked to go to the address located at 1203 E Wayne St South. This property is located in the East Wayne Local Historic District. The contractor, J.D. Holm Construction, had come in to the building department to obtain permits, and was unaware that the house required an approved COA in order to have permits pulled that pertained to the exterior. He had already begun work and had replaced several windows already. I met with Terry Holm (contractor), and Ms. Phillips who is the owner of the house at the property. I saw four styles and construction of windows on the house. The peaks on the third floor retain the original steel casement windows. The second floor were metal construction and were single pane casement with scissor type lever type openers. The main floor had a rounded top metal construction window (this will remain), new Marvin aluminum -clad wood windows, and glass block windows in the garage area. A non -original steel casement is in the garage/breezeway addition between the house and what was the original stand-alone garage. The second generation windows are Qualitybilt Woodwork / Farley & Loetscher Mfg. Co. There are no brand identifiers on the original windows that I could find. 1 was able to fmd a catalog online and found these windows were in production from 1950 to 1960 and are metal filled with wood by-product, (sawdust and glue). Many of these windows do not close entirely anymore. My photographs will show that several are not fully closed as the owner explained that they have to push M
