Staff described the property as a circa-1955 noncontributing Ranch-style house clad in asbestos shingles. The proposed shed will be located in the northeast corner of the rear yard on a concrete foundation, have an asphalt-shingle gambrel roof, a double-entry barn-style door and a 2-over-2 window above the entry. Staff said the shed will not be visible from the public right of way and raised no objections under the county's guidelines (chapter 7, fences and landscapes).

The owner was not available for questions at the meeting; Commissioner Lily Mandroff requested confirmation that the owner would obtain any required permits. Staff confirmed the applicant will need to secure necessary permits through the zoning and building process.

The commission approved the shed by roll-call vote; staff will reflect the decision in the property record and the owner will proceed with permitting.

The contributing 2\u00012-story frame dwelling, built about 1875 in the Downing Cottage style, sought in-kind repair of a 1-by-7 front porch step and installation of a 4x4 cedar railing and handrails with Douglas-fir pickets spaced 3\u00012 inches apart, set 28 inches above the porch floor. The applicant modeled the new railing on a neighboring property.

Commissioner Lily Mandroff, who pulled the item from the consent agenda, asked the commission to require wood materials rather than PVC and to retain the house's existing turned cedar balusters rather than replace them with square posts. Lily moved to approve with those conditions; Commissioner Ed Hoard seconded. The motion passed by roll-call vote (9 yes, 1 no, others present), with Commissioner Wendy McIver recorded as the lone no vote. Staff noted the applicant will still need zoning or building permits as required.

The commission cited Baltimore County Historic Design Guidelines, chapter 5 (porches and steps) in its decision.

Next steps: staff to issue the certificate of appropriateness reflecting the wood-only and turned-balance conditions and the applicant to secure any permits required by zoning or building departments.

The 86-foot, single-span Burr Arch truss bridge that carries Franklinville Road across the Little Gunpowder Falls connects Baltimore and Harford counties and was added to the county's final landmarks list in 1978. The existing transverse timber decking (narrow 2\" by 4\" planks) has shifted and split in places, creating gaps and safety concerns for vehicles and pedestrians, the applicant said.

Public Works project manager Justin Burn told the commission the proposed engineered glulam deck panels would be custom-fabricated so their installed appearance replicates the existing vertically stacked plank texture while providing greater longevity and structural performance. \"It's literally gonna be the exact same thing,\" Burn said, describing the material and assembly method.

Staff initially recommended denial because the earlier proposal appeared to replace the entire floor system with an engineered product that did not replicate the existing plank texture; after the applicant provided additional imagery and the commission staff cited updated county guidance allowing visually compatible substitute materials when in-kind replacement is not feasible, staff no longer opposed the glulam solution. Commissioners further noted the proposal preserves the bridge's structural system while addressing public-safety concerns.

Commissioner Chris Westin moved to approve the glulam decking as submitted with the drawings and supporting images; the motion passed on roll call, with the vote recorded as unanimous. The commission cited Baltimore County guidelines (porches and steps) and the National Park Service guidance for rehabilitation of historic covered bridges in its decision.

DPW said it has sought a long-term fix for recurring deck movement since the 2015 rehabilitation and expects the custom glulam panels to reduce maintenance and improve user safety.

The property at 301 Allegheny Ave., listed on Baltimore County's final landmarks list (No. 246), was built in 1911 and contributes to Towson's ecclesiastical and civic history, staff said. The applicant proposed replacing two nonhistoric rear doors with Accoya wood doors (a durable modified softwood) and removing and replacing the concrete aprons at those rear entrances. The commission had no objection to the door and apron work.

Staff and commissioners focused discussion on proposed window work. The application asked to replace several windows on the east and south elevations, citing poor condition and lead-based paint; staff noted that the submission did not clearly list or label every window proposed for replacement or state whether metal security grills on basement windows would be reinstalled. Staff also reminded the commission that Baltimore County guidelines permit in-kind replacement of windows that are lead-based-paint hazards but do not permit vinyl or aluminum-clad windows on historic structures.

Project representative Paul Dickover told the commission the existing windows are deteriorated and were a lead hazard, and said the organization obtained vendor quotes for aluminum-clad wood and full-wood windows. \"The doors themselves on the south elevation'...will be made of that product,\" Dickover said referring to Accoya. He added that the applicant prefers aluminum-clad wood windows for lower maintenance and longer life but acknowledged that full-wood windows were available and priced.

Commissioners pressed the applicant for more clarity on exactly which windows would be replaced and asked for elevation diagrams labeling each window so the commission and staff could verify the proposed work meets the county's window-design requirements. Commissioner Ed Hoard noted that historic wood windows can sometimes be stripped of lead paint but said that process is costly and often does not remove all lead-impregnated material. Commissioner Chris Westin moved to approve the doors and aprons as proposed, reject aluminum-clad wood windows, approve full-wood replacement windows for any operable historic wood windows, and require that inoperable or significant Gothic windows remain and be reconditioned. The motion included a condition allowing staff final review of details.

The commission adopted the motion by roll-call vote (11-0). Staff said it would follow up with the applicant for window numbering and material cut sheets.

The commission cited Baltimore County Historic Design Guidelines (chapter 2, windows and doors) and county code Section 32-7-405 in its deliberations.

Next steps: the applicant will provide window-by-window labeling and product information; staff will perform final review per the commission's conditions.

","The Baltimore County Landmarks Preservation Commission approved replacement of two rear doors and concrete aprons at 301 Allegheny Ave., Towson, but rejected aluminum-clad windows and required all operable replacement windows to be full wood; inoperable Gothic windows will be reconditioned.","actionData","errors"]
