I doubt it will happen if we have to wait a whole year. Funding will probably no longer be available.
Thanks

If you submit something different enough in the application, you can resubmit within a year. They wil
have to waive the bylaws and that will cost you one month. (Bylaw waiver one month and hearing the

suggested and come in to apply with his approval in hand.
Good luck,

Brian -
OK, good info. Do you think if I proposed one of the alternate storms and we had it'preapproved' by
AHPP, it might make it more palatable to the HDC? Is there a one year wait for resubmittal?
Thanks
Matt

Hi Brian,
The Quaker storm windows have a large pronounced frame on them that will negatively impact the
appearance of the building. Low profile frame storm windows need to be selected so as to not obscure
the historic details of the windows. Here are the links to several websites with more appropriate
options:
One such company that makes interior and exterior storms that would be more appropriate is Allied
Window:
http://www.alliedwindow.com/index.html
Here is another company that specializes in storm windows with minimal visual impact:
http://www.historms.com/historic-storm-windows.html
Here is another company that makes these:
http://spencerworks.com/
And the last one that does interior storm windows:
httP://www.stormwindows.com/products/
In short, I will not approve the Quaker storm windows as they will have a negative visual impact on the
building.
Cheers,
Paul
