Design Review Board approves siding replacement at 511 Stobs Lane
Summary
The board granted a certificate of appropriateness permitting replacement of deteriorated board‑and‑batten siding with fiber cement lap siding on a contributing property at 511 Stobs Lane and noted finish requirements for Hardie board.
The Aiken Design Review Board approved an application to replace deteriorated board‑and‑batten siding at 511 Stobs Lane with 6‑inch lap fiber cement siding and fiber cement board‑and‑batten in the gable ends, to be painted Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage with existing trim in Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover.
LaDonna Armstrong told the board she is requesting only the siding replacement at this time and asked staff to consider a formal process for changing property designations in the historic survey. Board members found the proposed material—Hardie lap siding—to be acceptable and in harmony with the design guidelines; a board member noted the guidelines require a smooth finish on Hardie products and asked staff to emphasize that point.
The board moved to approve the certificate of appropriateness as documented in the staff memo; the motion carried by unanimous vote.
The property is a contributing resource in Historic District 2, with the assessor listing a construction date of 1950 and the Aiken Historic Resource Survey card listing the property as mid‑20th century.
