Mr. Mills requested that the secretary provide a report of the
member's attendance at the July.7, 1994, meeting.
Margaret Frison moved to approve the Minutes of May 5, 1994.
Seconded by Laura Straehla and carried by unanimous vote.
Charles Cameron was present and submitted an Application for
Certificate of Appropriateness for removal of the chimney at 301
East 5th Street. Mr. Cameron explained.that - the 15 11, X .15" brick
chimney was a free standing chimney with a smoke stack attached, it
was not a fireplace. It had been located on the rear side of the
one story addition and had no service connection to the main
structure. He removed the chimney approximately three weeks ago.
The Board questioned why Mr. Cameron did not apply for a
Certificate of Appropriateness prior to removing the chimney. Mr.
Cameron stated it was for security purposes and he felt it was
considered minor maintenance. He further stated he was instructed
by his roofer and electrician that the chimney was in disrepair and
should be removed. The Board informed Mr. Cameron that removing an
historic element is not a minor maintenance issue and requires
approval from the Board. The Board does not wish to set a
precedent where individuals remove historic elements because they
are told by a plumber, electrician, etc., and then 'come to the
Board for a Certificate of Appropriateness and think that it will
be accepted.

Appropriateness for removal of the chimney at 301 East 5th Street
in retrospect and with caution to the applicant and other
applicants that chimneys are considered historic elements which
require a Certificate of Appropriateness prior to removal. The
chimney was not a fireplace chimney, it was a later addition, in
disrepair and was not a major element on the building. Seconded by
Laura Sollien and carried by unanimous vote.

building at 709 Magnolia Avenue.

Mike Noble, representing Aluminum Service Inc., and Steven Clarke,

products Mr. Faint is proposing to use. Mr. Noble presented the
Silhouette Series Vinyl Siding product. He explained that it is an
upscale vinyl siding available in four different profiles. He
provided the Board with samples and literature of the product. Mr.
Noble requested that the Board consider the Silhouette Series Vinyl
Siding as an approved material in. the Old Sanford Architectural
Regulations. The Board explained that the intent of the Historic
Preservation Board is to preserve the integrity of the original
historic character of the homes and the district. Each application
is reviewed on a case by case basis. The general rule is to
repair /restore with like material.
Discussion was held regarding the condition of the existing wood
siding and whether or not there is any environmental concern
regarding the vinyl siding being attached and penetrated through
the existing asbestos. Mr. Clarke stated he did not feel that
there was a concern and the Building Department will have to
approve the method of installation of the siding. Mr. Faint
indicated that the reason for the installation of vinyl siding is
due to the cost to remove the asbestos.
Discussion was held regarding the condition and the design of the
wood columns. Mr. Faint explained that two of the four columns
have dry rot damage. The other two are in good condition. He is
proposing to replace them with ones similar to the existing
columns.

Discussion was held regarding furnishing and replacing the existing
windows with MW Reno double hung windows, which are putty glazed
with nine lights in each sash, true divided lights. There are 23
original wood two over two double -hung windows. Mr.. Faint
explained that he is replacing the windows because ,both the
interior and exterior are rotten and have termite damage and the
sills need to replace. Ms. Sollien stated that the two over two
windows are historically correct and would be more in character
with the house. Mr. Faint indicated that he would prefer the two
over two windows if there was not an additional cost. Mr. Clarke
stated that he will have to special order two over two windows and
it will be an additional expense. It was recommended that some of
the original windows be saved and put in the front facade to make
the house look original at the street view.
