Location: 2554 Hazel Applicant: Calixto Hernandez Chairman Richardson abstained from discussion of CA-769 and asked that someone else act as Chairman on this case. Commissioner Farah, acting as Chairman, asked Mr. Richardson for the staff presentation. Mr. Richardson stated that the applicant is requesting this certificate of appropriateness for exterior renovations to the residence. The applicant is in the process of purchasing the property from Tracy Richardson. Proposed renovations to the structure include removing the brick and replacing it with either a hardi plank or vinyl siding or other wood type siding to match surrounding houses. He would also like to replace the existing roof with a new gray asphalt shingle roof. The existing brick is pulling away from the house in a number of places. There is an addition on the rear of the house and it is covered with wood siding. Most of the houses in the 2500 block of Hazel have wood siding. Mr. Richardson said that the applicant had some samples of paint colors for the Commission to review. The applicant would like to put vinyl siding on the house and would like to discuss the possibility of leaving the brick on the sides of the house. Commissioner Farah asked for the applicant's comments. CaIixto Hernandez, 2660 North, the applicant, addressed the Commission. Mr. Richardson showed the Commission a sample of the vinyl siding in "cream" color. Tracy Richardson said that Mr. Hernandez' long term goal is to refurbish the house for he and his family to live in. He wants to put the vinyl siding on the front and back and leave the brick on the sides if the Commission would approve that, and if not, put vinyl on the entire house.
