Summary

The commission approved a rehabilitation COA for 2325 Jefferson Avenue (Edgewood Park City) with conditions on vent and storm window selections, required repair-before-replacement of wood siding where feasible, and a friendly amendment removing LP Smart Siding from the recommendation.

Commissioners approved an exterior rehabilitation COA for 2325 Jefferson Avenue in Edgewood Park City after staff recommended in-kind roof replacement, porch restoration, and repair of existing wood siding if feasible. Staff flagged concerns about a proposed engineered product (LP Smart Siding), noting it has not been approved in local historic overlays as a replacement for primary siding. The applicant, Fred McGuire, accepted staff’s conditions.

During discussion commissioners added friendly amendments: they removed the LP Smart Siding allowance from staff recommendation number 3 and required that replacement trim and corner boards be submitted to staff for approval. Commissioners approved the motion by voice vote with amendments.

Next steps: Applicant will proceed with roof and porch restoration per staff conditions, provide documentation of wood-siding condition if full replacement is proposed, and coordinate final vent and storm-window selections with staff.
