Representatives: Hooshang Sheikhi,the applicant 25896 Butternut Ridge Road. Mr. Sheikhi explained the house's history and current condition. He indicated that the home has been abandoned for some time, and that there is severe damage to the foundation; there was an 8*8 seal above the stone before the building was constructed,and this seal has been chewed up by termites. The entire house must be lifted several inches while inserting a new pressurized treated 8*8 seal underneath and start to create the drainage. There are also outdoor stairs to the basement on the east side of the home,as shown in the pictures. All rain,water,and snow are directed to the basement through the outside stairs.The architect and contractor recommended removing and replacing the underlying damaged seal, covering the area of outdoor stairs,and creating a drainage away from the home.Mr.Neville stated that he approves of the building addition,however the proposal did not specify the finishing.Mr. Sheikhi explained that the finishing would be primarily vinyl,but that he would provide the materials for commission consideration. According to Mr. Neville, vinyl finishes are not recommended for the historic district. Mr. Sheikhi suggested that in such instance, they can use ceramic to make the exterior more attractive while also requiring less maintenance.Mr.Neville also stated that there are further issues, such as bay window damage in the house, that need be addressed later. Mr. O'Malley recommended that the application be tabled since it did not include all of the building materials. Mr. Morse advised that the extension's front façade be placed back so that the original building and the expansion could be recognized;Mrs.Kukwa seconded that. Mr. O'Malley recommended the application be tabled until the applicant provide the new revised drawings and the materials information. Mr. Morse moved, Mr. Limpert seconded, to table the application (for 60 to 90 days according to Mr. Sheikhi's request); motion passed 8-0. 22-22122; Robert Parry;27150 Butternut Ridge Road Representatives: Robert Parry 27150 Butternut Ridge Road Mr. Parry stated that the current siding on this house is fiber cement shingle, with a 10-10.5 in exposure between each lap, and that the original siding lies beneath this fiber cement product, therefore what is on the house is not original.The current siding material doesn't match the original siding material. He also stated that the cost of the suggested siding, hardie fiber board, for his 1100 square foot house is$48,900.The cost of replacing the existing vinyl soffits around the entire roof of the house will be$2000 more than the total quote supplied. Furthermore,due to the combined weight of the layers of cement board and the fact that the present fiber cement shingles had to be removed first,the cement Hardie Board could not be laid over the existing cement shingles.Additionally,there are eleven nearby historic homes with vinyl siding in the historic district. Some of these are highlighted as good examples of historic preservation in the North Olmsted Design Guidelines. All of these homes have vinyl siding on top of the original wood clapboard. In response to the question of whether vinyl siding is a cheap material,he stated that vinyl siding is not a cheap material,but it is easy to install.The warranty of installing vinyl is 50-year warranty, but its 30-year warranty for the hardie board. Cement board requires more 2
