Commission approves bathroom transom window modification at 56 West Columbus Street
Summary
The commission approved application CA2326008 to replace a north-elevation bathroom window at 56 W. Columbus St. with an obscured-glass Sierra Pacific aluminum-clad transom; the owner confirmed a six-light grid is available and plans to repaint the house after installation.
The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission approved application CA2326008 on March 23, allowing a modification to the north-elevation bathroom window at 56 West Columbus Street.
Staff said the residential house dates to about 1920 and was historically moved on the lot; the applicant is requesting to replace a current 6-over-1 window and external storm with a Sierra Pacific aluminum-clad fixed transom window placed above the shower area and fitted with obscured glass. The application packet noted the owner hoped to add a six-light grid if the configuration was available for the selected window size.
The owner (applicant) confirmed during questions that the existing siding is wood, that casing details will match existing trim, and that the six-light grid is available for the proposed window. The owner also said the house would be repainted after the window installation, with a potential dark-green color noted for the siding and white trim.
A commissioner moved to approve CA2326008 as presented; the clerk called the roll and commissioners recorded 'yes' responses (Roger White, Pete Lynch, Whit Wardell, Rich Doudna, Carol DeGrosso and David [name variant in transcript] were recorded as voting in favor). The commission approved the window modification with no opposition recorded in the roll-call exchange.
Next steps: the applicant may proceed with the window installation and follow any required permit or preservation conditions.
