HDC 2015-176
LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Plaza Midwood
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
1465 Haywood Court
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
New Construction
APPLICANT:
Tim McCollum
Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: August 12, 2015
Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The existing site is a vacant parcel and the end of Haywood Court. The four adjacent structures on the street are one and,
one and one half single family homes. Across the street is a large vacant tract and the rear yards of two single family
homes.
Proposal
The proposal is a new two story single family house and detached garage. Features of the house include a full width front
porch, wood and cedar shake siding, wood trim details, brick foundation and clad STDL windows. Column material
proposed is synthetic wood, painted. Total height is +/- 24’. The garage will have design details to match the house.
Garage height is approximately 23’-9”.
Policy & Design Guidelines for New Construction
New construction in Local Historic Districts has an obligation to blend in with the historic character and scale of the Local
Historic District in which it is located. Designs for infill projects and other new construction within designated Local Historic
Districts must be designed with the surroundings in mind. The Historic District Commission will not specify a particular
architectural style or design for new construction projects. The scale, mass and size of a building are often far more
important than the decorative details applied. However, well designed stylistic and decorative elements, as well as building
materials and landscaping, can give new construction projects the attributes necessary to blend in with the district, while
creating a distinctive character for the building. New construction projects in Local Historic Districts must be appropriate to
their surroundings.
The Historic District Commission will review the building details for all new construction as part of their evaluation of new
construction project proposals.
Staff Analysis
The Commission will determine if the proposal meets the guidelines for new construction.

MIRATEC
Test for Evaluation of Wood Preservatives to
be Used Out of Ground Contact: Horizontal
Lap-Joint Method.
• MiraTEC has a more authentic wood grain texture.
• MiraTEC is reversible.
• MiraTEC is highly resistant to moisture. Independent tests show
fiber cement absorbs five times more water (ASTM 24 - Hour
Soak Test). See chart at right.
• MiraTEC is 100% silica free. Cutting fiber cement releases silica,
a known carcinogen.
• MiraTEC is not brittle or difficult to stack.
• MiraTEC is as easy to handle, cut and nail as wood, requires no
special tools.
• MiraTEC is available in widths up to 16” and lengths of 16’,
takes less time and labor to install.
• MiraTEC is backed by a 50-year limited warranty.
Most fiber cement has a 15-year limited warranty.
• MiraTEC costs up to 30% less.
MIRATEC VS PRIMED WOOD TRIM
• MiraTEC has none of wood’s frustrating
drawbacks.
• MiraTEC doesn’t require significant
maintenance and replacement, because it
resists moisture, rot and termites. Primed
wood may be treated, but many do not offer
rot and termite protection.
• MiraTEC is a more advanced, engineered
material.
• MiraTEC offers consistent density.
• MiraTEC won’t warp, split or check over time.
• MiraTEC is one solid piece. Primed wood is
normally finger jointed to make longer lengths
and edge glued to make the width - with a
limited warranty on the glue joints.

Manufacturing
Process
TEC™ patented and proprietary manufacturing process
was created specifically to make trim.
TEC manufacturing process creates an engineered wood
product with uniform density.
MiraTEC is one solid piece – will not delaminate.
Made in a sealed press with steam injected for added
durability.
Hardboard manufacturing process was created
to manufacture exterior siding.
Hardboard manufacturing process may create a
product with variable density.
Hardboard trim may be manufactured by
laminating thinner panels together to create trim
thicknesses – may delaminate over time.
Made in an open press between heated platens.
Durability
Easy to handle, machine, cut and nail.
Won’t check, split or crack.
Treated with zinc borate for superior termite resistance.
Made with phenolic resins for excellent moisture resistance.
More authentic wood grain texture.
Easy to handle, machine, cut and nail.
May delaminate.
MiraTEC trim earned an evaluation report (ESR-3043)
from ICC-ES. MiraTEC meets the strict requirements of
ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria (AC424). Hardboard trim
cannot meet those requirements. This new evidence
supports the claim that MiraTEC is a worry-free product
with incredible durability and a strong 50-year warranty.
Hardboard trim does not have a building code
listing.
MiraTEC trim has no
added urea formaldehyde.
This is certified by
Scientific Certification
Systems under certificate number SCS-MC-01802.

LP SmartSide Trim Reversible Fiber (Hardboard)
and Collins Pine TruWood Trim are laminated in
all thicknesses.
Less authentic wood grain texture.
Hardboard trim cannot perform to the standards
in ESR-3043.
Made from sustainable materials. No old growth wood is
used in the manufacture of MiraTEC trim.
Complies with CARB.
MiraTEC trim is factory-primed on four sides with a low
VOC primer containing a mildewcide.
Contributes to industry green building programs such as LEED.

Backed by an industry-best 50-year warranty.
Protects against hail damage, rot, termite
damage and edge swell.

Test Objective
The Weatherability Test, a known standard in wood and composite product testing, evaluates a product’s ability
to withstand climate change. It is performed in accordance with ANSI A 135.6 (2006). It is meant to show a
product’s response to real-world weather conditions that assess durability in hot summers, cold winters and
rainfall.
Test Protocol
All trim samples used in the test were subject to six (6) cycles of exposure to: soak, steam, freeze, dry, steam
again and dry again. All samples tested were nominal 4/4 thickness. The MiraTEC 4/4 product measures a
full ¾.” The LP SmartSide 400 Series Trim (reversible fiber, which is a hardboard product) is a scant product,
meaning it measures 5/8” instead of the standard.
Test
Measurement
Results are calculated by the residual, or remaining, thickness swell of the trim. A trimboard exhibits thickness
swelling when exposure to exterior conditions breaks down the resin bonds within the trim, leading to water
absorption. The thickness of the sample is calculated at the beginning and at the end of the test.
