COA-05-145 233 52nd Street Whitesands, LLC
This is an application to replace the roof, siding and windows.
The applicant apologized for missing the previous meetings, and explained that when his partnership purchased the house they were not aware of the ARB.
Mr. Shook addressed the applicant’s request in three sections – roof, windows and siding.
Roof: Because the new roof that had been installed was not of identical color, Board approval was required. However, the Board noted that they had no objection to the color but noted that the workmanship on the project was poor. The applicant agreed.
Motion to approve: Dahlen
Second: Whittaker
Unanimous approval.
Windows: The application was amended to state upper sashes shall be 3 over 1 with vertical divisions as
original to the home. The applicant agreed.
Motion to approve: Dahlen
Second: Whittaker
Unanimous approval.
Siding: The applicant stated that he no longer wished to install vinyl siding but would instead scrape and paint the existing wood siding. Staff noted that replacement of siding in an area less than 100 square feet was permitted as routine maintenance, but recommended requesting approval to replace an area in excess of 100 square feet should the need arise. The applicant and Board concurred noting that the new siding would be identical to the original siding.

Second: Whittaker
Unanimous approval.
