Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said this came as a result of a citizen complaint on ongoing work. The building is a duplex and has a side entrance for the second unit. The upper story boards were replaced with Hardie Plank and the mitered corners were covered. The house is in the Garrison Colonial style, of which mitered corners are a major feature. Staff recommends denial due to the Hardie Plank, conversion of mitered corners to corner boards and wider exposure than the original. Maura Otzko - they live full-time in Florida and didn't realize they were in a historic district as the condition report of property said it wasn't in a historic district. James Otzko said they were making a number of improvements and the exterior wood was in bad condition. The city inspectors never told them they shouldn't have done the work. The work wasn't intentional. A complaint was what led them to realize the house was in a historic district. They are asking for approval. The second story windows are also replacement windows while the first-floor windows are leaded glass. Hardie board has been allowed in other cities in historic districts and it is on the second floor. Commissioners recommend that the owners sue the seller. The Commission approved withholding of DNS fines pending the outcome of the lawsuit. 		Pass4:0 Action details Meeting details Video Video
