HARB recommends vinyl window replacements for 512 Hamilton; no capping allowed on trim
Summary
A request to replace multiple upper‑floor windows at 512 Hamilton with Pro Series 6‑over‑6 vinyl windows was recommended to municipal council by the board with the condition that no capping be applied to street‑facing trim.
The board recommended that municipal council approve replacement of five front‑facade windows at 512 Hamilton with Pro Series white 6‑over‑6 vinyl windows and removed existing storm windows, with an explicit prohibition on trim capping for street‑facing elevations.
Sam Chance, representing Home Depot for the applicant, said the proposal calls for replacing three Second‑Floor and two Third‑Floor wood windows with Pro Series 6500‑series vinyl units, filling existing openings and matching a 6‑over‑6 light pattern. The motion approved by the board specified that any rotted or compromised wood jambs, sills or heads be replaced with new wood and that the new windows fill existing openings. The board reiterated that capping of the exterior trim is not allowed on street‑facing elevations; the applicant said they would not cap if the ordinance disallowed it.
The motion passed unanimously (roll call recorded as Yes by Dale, George, Pam, Olivia). After the board’s advisory recommendation, the applicants were told to await municipal council action before applying for building permits.
