Mr.Parry finally stated that the current shingle siding does not match the original siding and does not have an appropriate condition and appearance, and he requested that the Landmarks Commission determine that the proposed vinyl clapboard siding over the existing cement shingles is an appropriate improvement to this particular small house. Mr.Neville explained that according to the City Guidelines,vinyl is not an acceptable material for siding.Mr. O'Malley advised that the applicant receive the City correspondence,which contained the Building Commissioner's comments on the application.Mr.Parry inquired whether any of the commission members had used the Hardie Board for home siding.Mr.Neville responded that none of the commission members had done so, but that there are some homes in the historic area that have Hardi Board siding. Ms. Schuler stated that she supports the certificate of appropriateness for this application since it is close to the original view of the home and the additional cost of siding may prevent the house from being maintained. The commission agreed to table the application to give the applicant adequate time to consider the building commissioner's comments on his application and make a decision on his request. Mr.Gearhart moved,Mr.Dubowski seconded,to table the application until next Landmarks Commission meeting on 10/10/22; motion passed 8-0.
