voiced that they do not recommend aluminum, vinyl siding, or any other artificial siding to the <br />surface of a home in the historical district, which is not age specific to the home, which it is to be <br />applied. The applicant asked if he should replace the wood with wood siding. The board asked <br />what the difference in cost is using vinyl or wood. The applicant had not priced wood siding nor <br />would he know were to purchase it. The applicant voiced a concern of wood siding, even just <br />replacing those which need replacing would require the removal of all the siding as they are <br />interlocked. The board tried to assure the applicant that they are only trying to help him maintain <br />the value and integrity of his home. The board questioned other than the convenience of not <br />having to continuously paint the house why the applicant is requesting the vinyl siding. Mr. <br />Dunlap voiced that at one point in time all the wood siding will need to be replaced, if he just <br />paints the rotten boards now it wont last. The board questioned what percentage of the wood <br />siding requires replacing. Mr. Dunlap does not think any of the wood is rotten all the way <br />through but it is not in the same shape that it was when first built. The board asked if the <br />applicant had spoken to a specialist in the field to get advice on how to address the weathered <br />wood. The board suggested that as the applicant had not spoken to anyone about how to address <br />his home he may want to speak with board member Schumann who is a neighbor as he is an <br />expert in the field. Discussions regarding some type of protective insulation being used or not <br />took place. The board suggested the applicant return for a second meeting with them after he <br />reassess the condition of the wood siding on his home, and an estimate of price differences in <br />costs. <br />G. Nasher moved to table Matt Dunlap of 26550 Butternut Ridge lZoael until meeting next. <br />When the applicant can reassess the condition of the current wood siding which requires <br />replacing and provide the board with a cost estimate between wood and vinyl siding. Note <br />in the framing of the motion Mr. Dunlap was directed to speak with Mr. Schumann as he <br />could advise the applicant. B. Lord seconded the motion, which was unaniaxaously <br />approvedo <br />Mr. Dunlap voiced that he intends to replace all the windows in the homes as well. The board <br />requested the applicant speak with someone who restores homes to recei"ve advise on how he <br />could restore his home. <br />V. COMMUNICATIONS: <br />A.
