| 0 | 2. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior rehabilitation, demolition of a nonhistoric exterior stairway, and a new deck at 213 W. Brown Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Shannon Brennan and Kat Devlin.
Minutes note: Appeared Shannon Brennan
Andrew Stern explain this a fairly extensive renovation project. A comprehensive exterior renovation for a gabled L house built circa 1878 in the Brewers Hill Historic District. (Siding, Windows, Deck and Basement)
Siding: Removing replacement asphalt siding to expose historic clapboard. The plan involves sheathing the house with a weather-resistant barrier and reapplying salvageable clapboard while replacing damaged
sections with matching wood profiles.
Windows: Rehabilitating 10 historic windows, replacing one failing replacement window and one severely deteriorated historic window with solid wood matches. Two new windows and French doors will be added to
a rear section not visible from the public right-of-way.
Deck and Basement: Demolishing a non-historic exterior stairway to the basement and replacing it with a new 9x19 foot cedar-tone pressure treated wood deck. A Bilco-style cellar door will be installed for basement
access to address water intrusion.
Commission Advice: Commissioners suggested that the owners consult with Aker Millwork for high-quality storm windows and cautioned about the thickness of new sheathing affecting historic trim details. There was also a detailed discussion on maintaining proper insulation and vapor barriers to prevent mold in an old structure. The motion to approve with standard wood conditions and the additional comment to monitor trim relationships passed unanimously.
