Home My WebLink AboutPZ2021-158DATE: June 14, 2021 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Demi Laney, Senior Planner SUBJECT A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace windows and to reduce the siding profile of a house. FILE: PZ2021-158 STAFF REPORT Pawan Kumar, property owner, is seeking permission to replace the two (2),front windows and reduce the profile of siding to the house located at 1812 Hazel Avenue. Replacenlent of the windows, including extensive interior work, has been completed without the benefit of a Certificate of Appropriateness (CA) or building permits. Originally, the windows varied in appearance and now Mr. Kumar is requesting to have the windows be consistent. Please see pictures of proposed windows located in your packet. The applicant would like to reduce the size of the pressboard siding from a larger width to lx8 ship lap siding. This work was stopped in time and has not yet been completed without permission, A stop work order (SWO) was posted on May 25, 2021 by the Building Codes inspector. The SWO remained in effect until Mr. Kumar came in and obtained the appropriate permits for the interior work. The exterior changes remain at a standstill until they receive permission from the HL.0 to then obtain necessary building permits; such permits will be determined by what is decined appropriate for the Oaks Historic District. This home is categorized as a Vernacular Craftsman house, Examples for this style of home are located in A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester et al., pgs. 457-458, 460). The request to reduce size of the siding seems appropriate for a home within this era. The request to have 6 over 6 pane windows does not seem appropriate because it is typical for a home within this era to have multi panes over one style window. Staff recommends approval of the lx8 ship lap siding and denial of the windows with the recommendation that the applicant brings to staff an example of a multi -pane over one pane window for approval. This house is in in the 1990 SPARE Beauniont Survey, SPARE states the house was built c. 1925. The property was listed as typical of middle class housing built to accommodate the growing population in Beaumont in the 1920's.
