Agenda

Actions from the March 2014, meeting


3-A-14-HZ Approved

3-B-14-HZ Denied without prejudice

3-C-14-HZ Approved

Storm Windows (Level 1)
Add in recessed storm windows. As unobtrusive as possible. Keith windows, same as house across the street and next door (122 and 125 W Glenwood). White aluminum on white window trim; dark bronze aluminum on black window trim.

Chimney Cap (Level 1)
Add in an aluminum or galvanized metal cap to both chimneys to keep water out since they are not currently functional. The lip of the cap would extend 2"­4"over the top brick level of the chimney.

Roof Ridge Vent (Level 1)
Adding in roof ventilation in the form of a generic ridge vent, running front to back. Currently there is no attic ventilation other than unscreened attic windows.

Front Porch (Level 1)
Current porch has one or more rotten floor joists and stairs of different heights. We plan to replace them with in kind materials, best matching finish (gray oil based paint on floor)

Back Porch (Level 1)
Currently there is a bad leak into the basement. The wooden flooring will be removed and (technically) a roof will be installed over the floor joists (probably OSB with roofing membrane, adding an extra pitch away from house), then the original flooring (if it's in good shape; in kind otherwise) will be put back. There floor height will increase by.5­2".

Driveway (Level I)
Replace the current gravel driveway with two 24"- wide concrete strips (with gray coloring and river rock added in to a generic concrete mix according to recommended concrete additions.

Garage (Level II)
To fix the issue of rotting sills/exterior, put in one to two courses of CMU (below).
The future board and batten will hang down over the proposed CMU on the exterior, but will stop a couple inches above the soil. Proposed solution- add in one­two courses of CMU with new PT sill plate, sistering in/replacing/adding studs as needed.

Garage Door Options
Replace existing rotted garage door with similar windowless Craftsman carriage garage doors faced with vertical boards or board and batten similar to submitted photos.

Garage Door (walk- in)
A 2- panel wood or fiber cement door (an actual exterior door compared to the current door) and has the 2 panels.

Windows
The windows will be restored using the original panes (only one window has leaded glass) and original wood (if it's not too rotten), otherwise utilize the closest window router bit to the current pattern for the muntins/sills/sashes. Keep all windows the same size and mount matching shutters like the window on the west side to fit window dimensions.

Exterior Finish
Currently 3 of the 4 sides have slightly different exteriors. One side is board and batten, one side side (with garage doors) is ~2" tongue and groove, and two sides are ~1/4" half-lap joints. Storm Windows (Level 1)
Add in recessed storm windows. As unobtrusive as possible. Keith windows, same as house across the street and next door (122 and 125 W Glenwood). White aluminum on white window trim; dark bronze aluminum on black window trim.

Garage Roof
Increase the roof pitch by 1/12 for better rain protection
