In accordance with the Design Standards specifications that “the complete replacement of all windows in a building in which only a few are in disrepair will not be approved,” that “Original or later windows, trim and features should be retained and repaired except in cases when they are beyond repair. In such cases, replacement must be based on physical, photographic, or documentary evidence,” and that materials provided did not demonstrate infeasibility of repair rather than replacement. Any windows not visible from a public way, provided that they would not be visible even in the absence of all freestanding walls and fences, signs, accessory structures, and landscaping, are exempt. Historic District Design Standards I, Sarah LaValley, as agent to the Local Historic District Commission certify that this is an accurate and true decision made by the Historical Commission and certify that a copy of this and all plans have been filed with the Board and the City Clerk and that a copy of this decision has been provided to the Owner and Applicant.
