Contractor discusses handicap ramp options at corner duplex; board requests drawings and material samples
Summary
A contractor described options for a handicap ramp at the corner duplex at 5290/5292 O'Connell (Sandusky Street side); the board said an aluminum ramp would be the least intrusive and asked for drawings and finish samples at the next meeting.
A contractor attending the Historic Design Review Board meeting discussed options for installing a handicap ramp at a duplex located at the corner of Ohio and Sandusky streets and asked whether an aluminum ramp or a composite deck would be acceptable.
The contractor said ramps ‘‘change the aesthetic immensely’’ and that an aluminum ramp would be least intrusive; the board agreed that an aluminum option would be less visually obtrusive and asked the applicant to return with drawings and material samples. Board members discussed powder‑coating options and the ramp’s location on the Sandusky Street side rather than the Ohio Street façade.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on the ramp at this meeting; the board’s direction was to review specific drawings and material samples at a future meeting before making a determination.
