Item No. 1 Owner: Harold King /Leonard Stallman, Agent
Location: 411 East 6th Street
Request: Install Vinyl Siding
Mr. Harold King was present and explained his siding request to the
Commission. He presented photos of the structure, which were
accepted as exhibits 1 -12. Mr. King explained that the structure
is used as an office building and was restored in 1980. He stated
that he had to paint it every two years.
Mr. King said that the proposed 4 inch lap vinyl siding matches the
existing wood siding. He stated that there would be no change to
the roof, only repair to existing fabric. The gutters will also be
repaired or replaced. Mr. King also said that any rotted wood that
won't hold nails will be replaced.
oft Ms. Heinbockel stated that she has no problem with vinyl siding as
long as there is no artificial siding on the north facade of the
structure. Ms. Heinbockel also questioned the application of metal
siding over the cornice and other details.
Commissioner Bush commented that the curved bay on the west side is
one of the most attractive details on the structure and that the
bay is also very visible from the street.
Commissioner Heinbockel made a motion to approve the application
with the condition that the north facade, including one west panel
in the porch area have no vinyl or metal siding; and that no siding
be allowed on the bay on the west side of the structure; and that
the wood lattice on the west and south sides be replaced with wood
lattice; and that all details of original features are to remain
unaltered. Commissioner Wiedower seconded. The vote was taken.
Motion carried. All ayes.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
