Applicants received permission to rehabilitate Bradley's Food Market at the November, 2006 meeting of the HZC. Provisions of that certificate (No. 100305MEC) included repairing second story windows. Applicant began the repair and discovered that the windows were in very poor condition, and replaced them with one double hung vinyl windows. A stop work order was issued. This application is for one over one Pella Architect Series replacement windows featuring wood windows consistent with the design of windows from the era when Bradley's Food Market was constructed. Although they are not exact replacements, they are appropriately designed for the building. The original windows were not salvageable.
