Executive Summary
The subject property is located at the corner of Muncey Street and East Carson. In 2017, the structure was subjected to fire damage, and foundation and electrical work was performed subsequently. The applicant proposed to replace existing wood siding on the non-original porch enclosure and rear addition with smooth Hardie lap siding as well as replacement of seven (7) wood windows on the front porch enclosure, five (5) wood windows on the rear addition, and one (1) missing at the area of fire damage on historic structure with new wood window matching in size and configuration. The applicant applied for Historic and Design Review Commission (HDRC) of these propositions.
On May 1, 2020, HDRC denied replacement of wood siding with smooth Hardie siding; replacement of wood lap siding on rear addition with smooth Hardie siding; and denied installation of smooth Hardie siding where original siding has been missing after fire damage; HDRC did approve with stipulations replacement of wood windows in non-original porch enclosure and rear addition with new wood windows.
The applicant is appealing the May 1, 2020 HDRC decision and requesting to replace all wood siding with new composite siding and all wood windows with new wood windows, in consideration of lead abatement and cost. Per the Historic Design Guidelines, the siding should feature the historic wood profile and windows should only be replaced when beyond repair.
