Commission approves simulated‑divided‑light window replacements at 760 Woodbine
Summary
The Glendale Planning and Historic Preservation Commission approved replacement of century‑old windows at 760 Woodbine with simulated‑divided‑light Pella windows and Larson full‑glass storm doors; the commission confirmed sizing, grid configuration and dark oil‑bronze finish, citing inoperable originals.
The Glendale Planning and Historic Preservation Commission voted to approve exterior window and storm‑door replacements for the house at 760 Woodbine.
Megan Holtz, speaking as the property representative for owner C.C. Donovan, said the original windows “no longer open and close” and are drafty; she proposed Pella windows with simulated divided lights (grids on both interior and exterior faces and a spacer between panes) and Larson full‑glass storm doors in a dark oil‑bronze finish. Holtz said the proposed windows are sized to existing openings and will not require fillers.
Commission members confirmed the material and detailing the applicant described — interior and exterior muntin simulation with a spacer and a resin/aluminum‑clad product — and noted the replacement sash will match existing dimensions. A commissioner noted the original windows have lasted “almost a century” but said the inoperability makes replacement prudent.
The motion to approve, which included the simulated divided‑light configuration and the proposed finish, passed by voice vote. The commission recorded no public objections during the hearing.
The commission did not attach a specific time limit to the approval in the meeting discussion; staff indicated building‑permit timing is governed by the municipal permit process rather than the certificate of appropriateness approval.
