Commission approves enlargement at 127 Nantala Avenue, conditions focus on three contested windows
Summary
The commission approved a four‑foot extension at 127 Nantala Avenue but conditioned replacement of three windows on staff verification that they are not from the period of significance or otherwise eligible for replacement.
The commission voted to approve a four‑foot enlargement of a previously permitted rear addition at 127 Nantala Avenue (COA 2026‑05‑0976) with conditions addressing window replacements.
Staff described the small scope change and said the proposal generally met guidelines subject to details for a new door and potential step. Petitioner Andrew Malik said the extension is intended to provide circulation and energy performance improvements and asked to work with staff on final details.
Discussion centered on three windows raised by a commissioner who questioned whether they are original to the building’s period of significance. Commissioners agreed to condition approval on the applicant’s ability to demonstrate, to staff’s satisfaction, that the three windows were not from the designated period or are sufficiently deteriorated to allow replacement; otherwise the windows must be retained.
The motion to approve with staff conditions and the additional condition regarding the three windows passed unanimously. Staff will verify the windows’ age and condition and work with the applicant on compatible materials and any necessary patio/step details prior to final sign-off.
