[751 E Fifth Avenue; case Tab 1 – Certificate of Appropriateness] The Historic Preservation Board reviewed a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior improvements at 751 E Fifth Avenue. The proposed work includes constructing a covered porch with an open courtyard, an entry pagoda, wood slat fencing, and composite wood trellises. Staff recommended approval, finding the request consistent with design standards for porches, fencing, and visual compatibility. The board's decision is not stated in this document excerpt. [822 Alexander Street; case Tab 2 – Certificate of Appropriateness] The Historic Preservation Board reviewed a Certificate of Appropriateness for a re-roofing project at 822 Alexander Street. The applicant proposed replacing existing metal shingles with composite slate tile. Staff found the application inconsistent with historic design guidelines, recommending repair of metal shingles or replacement with metal shingles or a standing seam metal roof, as slate is not compatible with the building's Frame Vernacular style. The board's decision is not stated in this document excerpt. [110 N Clayton Street] The Historic Preservation Board approved an application for renovation at 110 N Clayton Street. The project involves removing an existing deck and shed and constructing a concrete block garage addition with a patio on top. The applicant, Jason Malk, represented by his father Don Malak, aims to restore the farmhouse. The board voted unanimously to approve the application as presented. [351 W 10th Street] The Historic Preservation Board approved an application for renovation at 351 W 10th Street. The project involves window installation on the second story with white vinyl windows. The contractor, John Wilbur, explained the need for repairs due to water damage to the upper porch flooring. The board voted unanimously to approve the application as presented. [606 N McDonald Street] The Historic Preservation Board approved an application for an addition at 606 N McDonald Street with two conditions: the new metal roof must be standing seam with concealed fasteners in an earthy or muted color, and windows on the western façade must include shutters and grid lines as depicted. Lisa Smith from Eco Construction was present. The board voted unanimously to approve the application as presented. [729 E 8th Avenue] The Historic Preservation Board denied an application for window replacement at 729 E 8th Avenue. The staff recommended approval with a condition to replicate grid lines on new windows. However, the board denied the application unanimously, citing inconsistency with standards that discourage vinyl, as the applicant, Diane Hartwell, expressed frustration with the contractor who wanted to use vinyl windows. Ms. Hartwell withdrew the application.
