York City ARB approves fascia replacement at 438 West Market Street, recommends composite material
Summary
The York City Architectural Review Board approved a fascia-board replacement at 438 West Market Street and recommended using composite or similar durable material rather than pine.
The York City Architectural Review Board on Oct. 25 approved an application to replace the fascia board at 438 West Market Street and recommended that the applicant use composite or other nonwood materials rather than pine.
The applicant, Braden Grove of Grove Contractors, described the planned work as a like‑for‑like replacement of the bay‑window fascia. Board members and staff said pine would deteriorate quickly and urged materials such as composite or PVC that replicate wood appearance but last longer.
Board discussion centered on durability and historic appropriateness. Board members said a composite product would “look just like wood” while needing less frequent replacement; the applicant indicated a preference for a composite option after the discussion. A motion to approve the application that included the board’s recommendation on materials passed.
The approval requires the applicant to follow the board’s recommendation on the fascia material; no additional permits or conditions were specified in the transcript. The matter closed with the vote in favor.
