Proposed Alteration, Renovation, or Addition
The following alterations have been requested by the applicant.
1.Repair/replace rotten eaves/soffit2.Replace all wooden siding (except under porch) with fiber cement plank
siding of similar width3.Cover plywood covered windows with fiber cement siding4.Replace eight wooden columns on front porch
STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Scott Stephens, City Planner
Recommendation: See below.
Evaluation:
1.Repair/replace rotten eaves/soffit
Design Guidelines section referenced: Maintenance and Upkeep (p 64):
1. Repair deteriorated or damaged architectural elements using methods that allow them to retain theirhistoric appearance.
Evaluation: The petitioner proposes to replace rotten soffit with a fiber cement project (e.g. Hardie Plank) that will have a similar appearance to wood. Due to the limited visibility of these features, using this material should maintain a cohesive appearance with the existing structure.
2.Replace all wooden siding (except under porch) with fiber cement plank siding of similarwidth
Design Guidelines section referenced: Alterations and Rehabilitation of Existing Structures, Siding
Materials (residential; p 32):
1. Historic materials such as brick, stone, mortar, clapboard, and wood shall be retained and
maintained.
2. Damaged historic materials shall be repaired and replaced in-kind before wholesale removal and
replacement. When repairs are required, replacements shall be of a compatible material and mirror
the appearance of the historic materials.

3. When wholesale replacement of materials is required, the replacement materials shall be of a
compatible design, profile, shape, and material to what was historically found on the structure.
4. New materials may be used if they create a cohesive appearance with the existing structure.
a. Materials such as vinyl, aluminum, panelized brick, and other similar materials are prohibited.
b. Composition siding or engineered wood is generally appropriate though the new material shall
match historical wood siding in size, exposed lap, and material finish.
c. New materials shall match the original historic materials in composition and scale.
5. Materials that have no historic basis shall not be used in the alteration and rehabilitation of historic
structures.
Evaluation: The Commission should evaluate and decide if the existing siding is deteriorated to a
state that wholesale replacement is necessary. The proposed composition, or fiber cement siding,
should match the existing wood siding in size, exposed lap, and finish.
3.Cover plywood covered windows with fiber cement siding
Design Guidelines section referenced: Alterations and Rehabilitation of Existing Structures, Windows
(residential; p 30):
1. Historic windows and their frames shall be retained and maintained.
2. Damaged or deteriorated windows shall be repaired before they are replaced.
3. Historic window openings shall remain visible and shall not be obscured from view through paint,
wood,
or other materials and methods which may alter their transparency or appearance.
Evaluation: Based on a 1998 photograph (see 1998 state survey information), these window
openings were at one time used for ventilation, but have since been covered with plywood. The right
opening appears to be the same size as other window openings on the same façade. The left
opening is smaller. Staff is unaware of status of opening on the interior. These window openings are
toward the rear of the structure so less visible, but still able to be seen from the street.
4.Replace eight wooden columns on front porch
Design Guidelines section referenced: Alterations and Rehabilitation of Existing Structures, Porches
(residential; p 28):
2. Architectural elements of porches shall be maintained and retained.
3. In the case of damage or deterioration of historic porch elements, in-kind replacement of existingelements shall be taken before wholesale removal and replacement. Replacement materials shallbe compatible with the existing porch.
Evaluation: The petitioner proposes to replace existing wooden columns with similar wooden
columns. They should be of the same design and all attached architectural elements should be preserved.
