Discuss Citizen Comment
Landon Hoyt of 591 N Chambers St came in
support of the project and said he could not find
the meeting’s packet online (it was available on
the website).
LC-25-0901 Discuss Certificate of Appropriateness for 581 N Chambers St
The applicant brought a representative from Renewal by Andersen who stated that
the windows would be made of Fiber-Ex (a wood and vinyl composite), they would
take out the current sashes and replace them. The replacement windows should
have a 40-year lifespan with only a slight reduction in the glazing area. The applicant
stated that the south elevation, which all these windows are on, is shaded by new
tree plantings, and that the product is already in use next door.
Member Klohn has used this product in her home and is happy with it. Member
Miener expressed concerns about if using this product would maintain the historical
presentation on a prominent elevation of the exterior, if it would lower the level of
light, and if the product had as long a lifespan as restoration with wood.
The representative from Andersen clarified by that the original wood and trim
would remain, and that the rotted sill could be replaced either with aluminum or
wood.
Member Klohn moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness, seconded by Member
Woolsey.
