BACKGROUND (Continued):
B. Background
On September 28, 2016, the Committee approved a request for exterior modifications
to the residence, which included retaining and patching the existing stucco wall
covering. The previous applicant submitted plans for a Building Permit (B17-0177) for
the approved modifications in March of 2017. After considering alternatives, the owner
chose to move ahead with the project as proposed, and the Building Permit was issued
to the current applicant, De Mattei Construction, Inc., on September 24, 2018.
C. Comments
The applicant is proposing the removal of the deteriorated stucco siding, and the
removal and replacement in kind of the non-repairable underlying cedar shingle siding.
The proposal is discussed in the request and photographs (Attachment 1) and illustrated
in the development plans (Attachment 2).
Per Town Code Section 29.10.020, removal of more than twenty-five percent of the
exterior wall(s) (framing and siding) facing a public street(s) or removal of fifty percent
of all exterior walls of a historic structure constitutes demolition of the structure. If the
exterior wall covering (siding) is not original, it may be removed and is exempt from the
demolition definition.
The removal and replacement in kind of non-repairable siding resulting in no change to
its exterior appearance or historic character is also exempt from the demolition
definition if approved by the deciding body. The applicant is seeking a determination
from the Committee that the removal and replacement in kind of the non-repairable
cedar shingle siding is appropriate and consistent with the original condition of the
home and is therefore exempt from the demolition definition.
DISCUSSION:
A. Findings
Sec. 29.10.020. Demolition (historic structures)
All remaining exterior walls must be contiguous and must retain the existing exterior
wall covering. No new exterior wall covering shall be permitted over the existing
exterior wall covering. The following are exempt from this definition:
a. Replacement. The exterior wall covering may be removed if the covering is
not original to the structure.

DISCUSSION (Continued):
b. Repair. The removal and replacement of in kind non-repairable exterior wall
covering (siding) resulting in no change to its exterior appearance or historic
character if approved by the deciding body.
B. Considerations
Sec. 29.80.290. Standards for review.
In evaluating applications, the deciding body shall consider the architectural style,
design, arrangement, texture, materials and color, and any other pertinent factors.
Applications shall not be granted unless:
For pre-1941 structures, the proposed work will neither adversely affect the exterior
architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the
application.

Project Description and Justification.
Ms. Shoopman,
De Mattei
Construction Inc.
-~t
Bui/ding Relatlon•hlp•
The purpose of this letter is to describe the proposed project and justify the scope of work.
The current 2-sto ry, single family residence located at 94 He rnandez was built approximately 1928 and
sits on the corner of Hernandez and Ellenwood Avenu es. The house is currently finished with rough
stucco, some wood siding, and wood widows. The stucco which was added at some point by a former
owner was placed over the original ce dar shingle siding which is in poor condition (see attached photos).
Currently there is an approved pe rmit (817-0177, plans provided under sepa r ate copy for r efe r e n ce )
wh ic h proposes new stucco throughout th e exterior of the home. It is our intention to remove the
existing, out-of-period stucco finish and res tore the home bac k to its original condition by insta lling n ew
cedar shingl e siding like for li ke r ath er than replacing the stucco as proposed.
W e feel that the new cedar shingle siding will not only provid e longevity to the home but help the home
regain its original character and r estore its place in th e comm unity.
Pl ease don't he si tate to contact m e with a ny que st ions or conce rn s.
Regards,
Jim Whitney
