Commission approves window replacements, deck surface and metal roof at 75 South Main St.; owner absent
Summary
Port Deposit’s Historic Area Commission approved replacement windows (options 2-over-2 or 6-over-6), a front-porch deck in-kind (excluding rails and columns), and a change of roof material to metal standing seam for 75 South Main Street; the owner was not present for the hearing.
The Port Deposit Historic Area Commission on Feb. 19 approved window, porch-deck and roofing work for 75 South Main Street, a property listed in the record as owned by 80 S. Main Street, LLC (Lee Banks). The owner or representative did not attend the meeting.
Commissioners reviewed a proposal to replace non-original windows on the first and second floors, replace the front porch deck with in-kind wood, switch the roof from asphalt shingles to a metal standing-seam roof, and repaint the house. Commissioners pressed staff discussion about whether the deck replacement included replacement of the porch rails and columns; the commission clarified the deck approval did not include the rails or columns.
On a unanimous vote, the commission approved replacement of the first- and second-floor windows with either 2-over-2 or 6-over-6 pane configurations and required that the third-floor window be preserved with the addition of a storm window. The commission also approved replacement of the front porch deck with in-kind wood limited to the deck surface (rails and columns excluded) and approved the roof conversion from asphalt to metal standing seam. All motions carried without recorded opposition.
The minutes show the owner was not present and no additional conditions (such as contractor specifications or permit timelines) were recorded at the meeting. The commission adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
