Design Review Board approves replacement windows at Home Federal Bank building, no changes to Market Street elevation
Summary
The board approved installation of 10 new tall windows on the fifth floor of the Home Federal Bank building (case 9C25DT), finding the proposed aluminum-clad wooden windows and precast concrete sills compatible with the existing Market Street elevation; staff recommended no changes to the Market Street elevation.
The Downtown Design Review Board approved a proposal to install 10 new windows on the fifth floor of the Home Federal Bank building on Market Street (case 9C25DT).
Planning staff noted the windows — seven-foot-six-inch tall by 2-foot-8-inch wide aluminum-clad wood units — would mirror existing window proportions on the Market Street elevation and recommended approval. Applicant Chris Woodcock (McCarthy) said the proposed windows match the context and that the building owner currently owns adjacent properties, reducing concerns about future openings at lower levels.
Board members asked about fire separation and whether historic punch openings existed; the applicant said the building’s brickwork and window pattern provided contextual justification for the proposed openings. Because the property is not mapped as a historic building, staff said full historic profiles were not required, though the board requested typical window profiles for context when available. The board approved the certificate as submitted.
