Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The existing structure is a 2 story non-contributing commercial structure constructed in 1980. Original siding
material is wood. The right side, the left front and the rear elevation have been changed to cementitious siding
(HardiePlank). Wood siding remains on the front and left rear side.
Proposal
The proposal is to allow a change in siding material to cementitious siding (HardiePlank) for the entire structure.
Policy and Design Guidelines
Non Traditional Building Materials, page 49
1.
The Historic District Commission considers substitute siding to be inappropriate for use in a
designated Local Historic District, and does not allow its use on an historic structure within a Local
Historic District.
2.
The use of the following substitute siding materials is considered incongruous with the overall
character of local historic districts, and is prohibited.
• Vinyl
• Aluminum or other metal sidings
• Masonite
3.
Cementitious board products are rarely considered appropriate for the main structure on a
property. The Historic District Commission will consider these products on a case by case basis.
4.
All proposals for the use of other non-traditional building materials for projects in Local Historic
Districts will be judged on a case-by-case basis by the full Historic District Commission. The
Commission will determine how well the proposed material and its proposed use are contextually
appropriate in design, texture and other visual qualities.
5.
The use of substitute or replacement building materials will not be considered as an alternative to
routine maintenance.
Staff Analysis
The Commission will determine if the use of a non-traditional building material is appropriate for siding and
other related exterior elements.
