Commission approves door replacement at 58–64 West Third Avenue with materials condition
Summary
The Historic Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement doors at 58–64 West Third Avenue, requiring wood material and an approved style per Victorian Village guidelines.
The Historic Preservation Commission voted June 4, 2025, to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for door replacements at 58–64 West Third Avenue, imposing conditions on materials and style.
HPO staff recommended approval with conditions that the front-door material be wood and that the door style be selected from the Victorian Village guidelines or a previously approved half-light style. Staff cited City Code 31.16.11, the standards for alteration, as the basis for the recommendation.
An applicant representative reviewed nearby precedent examples and told the commission the current doors had been replaced during the COVID period and that some non-original doors had been in place for roughly five years. Commission discussion covered security concerns, precedent on nearby properties and whether balcony and entry doors should match. The owner’s representative said the owner planned to install wood doors with limited glazing and expected to complete the work within a one-year COA timeframe if the COA were issued.
The commission’s motion to approve the COA passed by voice vote. Staff noted that COAs are valid for one year from issuance, giving the owner a timeline to complete the work.
The commission’s action allows the applicant to replace the six identified doors on the building’s front elevation provided the installed doors meet the material and style conditions listed in the staff report.
