The Bragg Duplex at 1011-1013 Scott Street has a conservation easement on it. All exterior changes to the house (and
possibly the grounds) must be approved in writing by the coordinator, Paul Porter, at AHPP before application is made
to the HDC. His number is 324-9880. The windows on the side of the structure would require a COA from the HDC
before replacement.
I would suggest giving Paul a call shortly. I am including him on this email.

Thanks so much for your time. The house is at 1011 Scott Street. I am understanding that we can't replace
windows on the front but I am curious about the sides. Also, a part of the house is an addition and I'm under the
impression that we can replace windows there....
Thanks again,
Katy

Each application is handed on a case by case basis. So there is not a stock answer to give you. Maintenance of
existing windows (repair) is something that I can sign off on as staff. This is what most people prefer. If you
want to replace your windows, that will require a public hearing which requires public notification of
neighboring properties, title searches, etc.
If you can give me more information about which house you are looking at, I can be of more
assistance. Certain houses have conservation easements on them which will require additional approval.

Mr. Minyard,
My husband and I are considering purchase of a home on 10th and Scott Street. The home currently has non-
functioning windows. We would like to strategically identify windows to replace with functioning windows to
allow for airflow through the home. It would be feasible to find replacement windows that maintained the visual
appearance of the current windows. Is replacing windows an option in the MacArthur Park Historic District or
is our only option repairing the existing windows?
Thanks for your time and input,
Katy Elliott
