PROPOSAL AND WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION BASED OFF OF INTENT
AND GUIDELINES:
This proposal is to remove all current exterior siding and replace with five -inch cedar boards
with two-inch overlap resulting in a three-inch reveal. In addition, there may be framing boards
that are rotten and will need to be replaced at the same time. Damaged trim around doors and
windows will be replaced. All new wood will be primed and two coats of paint applied.
The Secretary of Interior's Standard #6 is relevant to this application. It states:
Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
2
feature shall match the old in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and,
where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be
substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
There are numerous places where the siding on this structure is broken, warped and rotted. If
the request was to patch the siding where needed, a Certificate of Compliance (COC) would
have been issued. However, this application is to replace 100% of the siding on the house,
which Staff felt required a public hearing, a COA.

There are details on the existing windows that should not be lost if this application is approved.
As shown in the photos above, the south gable facade is the most elaborate of the facades
because of the detail of the window trim. The trimwork around the second and third floor
window should not be replaced, but should be repaired in place with wood putties or epoxy
wood preservation techniques if needed. The window hood above the second floor window
features dentil molding and is the most elaborate of all. All of the other window and door hoods
match and should not be "embellished" to match the elaborate one.
The corner trim on the house is suggested to
be modified. It features two 1x4's, one on
each face with a piece of cove molding in the
corner. The two houses to the west, feature
a piece of quarter round instead of the cove
molding, which is a more typical trim feature.
This is shown in the photo to the right.
It is also suggested that the backside of the
new siding and trim be primed before
installation. This back priming will reduce the
chance of water to wick up behind the siding
and cause paint to peel prematurely.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS AND REACTION: At the time of distribution, there were no
comments regarding this application.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval with the following conditions
