Board conditions approval of 814 Prince Street addition on Boral trim and wood siding
Summary
The board approved an addition and partial demolition at 814 Prince Street after the applicant clarified materials: the team will use Boral trim (recycled-content product) and commit to wood siding where visible from the public right-of-way. A roll-call vote passed the motion.
The Board of Architectural Review approved alterations and an addition at 814 Prince Street after the applicant clarified proposed materials and the board imposed material conditions.
Architect William Cromley told the board the application does not propose PVC trim or synthetic siding but rather Boral trim — a composite product the team said contains recycled fly ash — and wood siding where visible. Cromley urged correction of mislabels in the staff report.
Board members discussed material longevity and appearance; staff and members said PVC is discouraged and often performs poorly. The chair moved to approve the application with staff recommendations and the additional condition that trim be Boral and that any siding visible from the public right-of-way be wood.
Because the application included partial demolition, the board took a roll-call vote. Miss Pratt, Miss O'Neil, Mr. Adams and Mr. Scott all voted in favor and the motion passed.
The approval includes the staff-recommended conditions and the material clarifications requested by the applicant.
