Board denies vinyl window; orders two‑over‑two wood replacement
Summary
Homeowner Teresa White was denied a one‑over‑one vinyl window at the rear of her house. The board concluded the opening should be fitted with a two‑over‑two double‑hung wood window to match adjacent openings and historic character.
Homeowner Teresa White sought approval for a replacement window on the rear elevation of a house but the board denied the proposed one‑over‑one vinyl unit, directing that the opening be fitted with a two‑over‑two double‑hung wood window to match neighboring openings.
White described substantial prior damage to the back wall and said she had been searching for a matching window; several board members noted the majority of the house’s existing openings are two‑over‑two and advised matching that configuration. The motion to deny the vinyl and require a matching two‑over‑two wood window passed on a voice vote.
The board advised White on sources for historic photos and local reference materials that might help identify original window types but emphasized that, for the current permitting decision, the replacement must match the neighboring opening and the house’s prevailing window pattern.
