Historical March 1979 report or notice. Dates, prices, programs, contacts and any regulatory statements refer to the original period; current availability or applicability is not established.
Several questions have reached our ears recently concerning various provisions of the Historic District Ordinance. While we are certainly happy to respond, we hope that persons who need to know the answers to specific questions will feel free to contact Brad Weir, Chairman of the Historic District Review Committee. Perhaps there are sufficient questions to merit a regular column in this paper. If so, we hope you will let us and Mr. Weir know.
Two recent questions concern windows.
“Can we put up unpainted aluminum storm windows?”
“If my windows are in hopeless condition, can I replace them altogether? Will I have to go through the Landmarks and Urban Design Commission process?”
To quote from the Ordinance: (Italics ours)
Architectural details on existing structures, such as columns, pediments, dormers, porches, and bay windows should be maintained in their original form if at all possible. Renovations involving structural changes to window or door openings are permit required work and thus must be reviewed by the Landmarks and Urban Design Commission.
Design of these renovations should be compatible in scale, materials, and color with existing features of the building, wood or factory-finished colored metal is the preferred material for frames of new and replacement storm windows and screens and storm and screen doors….
And, of course, applicable to all changes in the front of houses only (changes to the sides or backs are not covered by the Ordinance):
Standards that do not require building permits serve as guidelines within the district. 1)
“Can we put up unpainted aluminum storm windows?” Yes. Colored metal is preferred by the Historic District Standard, but, as storm windows are not covered by permits, there can be no requirement.
2) “Can I replace windows altogether without recourse to the Landmarks & Urban Design Commission?” Yes. Permits are required to alter the openings, not to add new parts to the same design. New windows which would not alter the look (design) of the front of the house do not require permits.
