HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION REPORT TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION PREPARED BY: Taylor Long, Associate Planner REVIEWED BY: Mercy Davison, Town Planner DATE: February 9, 2018 SUBJECT: CA-18-01-01: Window Replacement, 603 Normal Ave A. Summary: Replacement of 5 first floor windows at 603 Normal Ave B. Recommended Action: Approval as proposed by applicant C. Background: 1. Property Information: Applicant(s): Tom and Claire Lamonica Owner(s): Tom and Claire Lamonica Location: 603 Normal Ave 2. Property Description: 603 Normal Ave was designated a contributing property to the Old North Normal Historic District by the Town Council in September of 2003 (Ordinance No. 4887). This two-story, side gable Craftsman home was built in 1925 and features a modern rear addition (approved by the HPC in May of 2007) and a detached garage. 1 3. Description of Proposed Alteration: The applicant proposes to install 5 wood, double-hung insert windows externally clad in aluminum in place of 5 original windows on the home. The windows being eyed for replacement are on the north, east, and west facades and are shown circled on the photos above. These original windows are currently covered with aluminum storms, which would be removed as part of this project. The insert windows being proposed have been previously approved by the commission for placement on the home’s modern addition (CA-07-05-09), as replacements for 6 basement windows (CA-12-11-21), and as a suitable replacement for one first-floor window on the south side of the home (CA-17-03-06). The windows proposed by the homeowners and their contractor feature raised, exterior mullions and simulated divided lites. The cut out above illustrates their design. Although the windows themselves would be replaced with new inserts, the original wood frames and trim for reach of these windows will remain intact. 4. Code Requirement for Certificate of Appropriateness: A Certificate of Appropriateness is required because it involves the alteration of a structure or feature on the property that is readily visible from a public right-of-way. SEC. 15.16-5 – Certificate of Appropriateness A. Certificate of Appropriateness. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required before the following actions affecting the exterior architectural appearance of any landmark or property within a historic district may be undertaken: 1. Any exterior construction, alteration, or removal requiring a building permit from the Town. SEC. 15.16-5 – Standards for Review F. Standards for Review. In considering an application for a building or demolition permit or for a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Preservation Commission shall be guided by the following general standards in addition to any design guidelines in the ordinance designating the landmark or historic district: 5. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition design, color (paint or stain, on any surface that has not been previously painted or stained shall comply with Standards of Review), texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplication of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence, rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. 2 SEC. 15.16-2 – Design Guidelines for New Construction and Staff Analysis E. Design Guidelines. Design guidelines for applying the criteria for review of Certificates of Appropriateness shall, at a minimum, consider the following architectural criteria for existing structures and new construction: 1. Height – The height of any proposed alteration or construction should be compatible with the style and character of the landmark and with contributing structures in a historic district. The proposed window inserts would be manufactured to fit the current window openings, so the height of the windows on any of the three affected facades would be unchanged. 2. Proportions of Windows and Doors – The proportions and relationships between doors and windows on facades visible from the street should be compatible with the architectural style and character of the landmark and with contributing structures within a historic district. The proposed replacement windows are of the same proportions as those currently in place and no new window locations would be cut in. 3. Relationship of Building Masses and Spaces – The relationship of a structure within a historic district to the open space between it and adjoining structures should be compatible. N/A 4. Roof Shape – The design of the roof should be compatible with the architectural style and character of the landmark and contributing structures in a historic district. N/A 5. Scale – The scale of the structure after alteration, construction, or partial demolition should be compatible with its architectural style and character and with contributing structures in historic districts. N/A 6. Directional Expression – Facades in historic districts should blend with other structures with regard to directional expression. Structures in a historic district should be compatible with the dominant horizontal or vertical expression of surrounding structures. The directional expression of a landmark after alteration, construction, or partial demolition should be compatible with its original architectural style and character. N/A 7. Garages and Driveways – Garages should be situated in a manner compatible with garages located on contributing properties within a district. If attached, the garage should be set back to the rear face of the home. N/A 3 8. Architectural Details – Architectural details including materials, colors (paint or stain color on any surface that has not been previously painted or stained shall comply with design guidelines), and textures should be treated so as to make a landmark compatible with its original architectural style and character and to preserve and enhance the architectural style or character of a landmark or historic district. Five wood windows original to the home’s construction will be removed, but their replacements are of a make and quality that the commission regularly deems appropriate for historic properties. Wood windows externally clad in aluminum have been approved as suitable replacements for originals many times in the recent past – three times since 2007 on this home alone. The replacement casements proposed in this instance will be the same size as those currently on the home and will match each of their divided lite patterns. Additionally, the original wood frames and trim surrounding each window will remain intact. 4 2/2/2018 603 Normal Ave McGIS, http://www.McGIS.org/License McG IS does not guarantee the accuracy of the information displayed.
