Commission rejects vinyl siding; approves LP SmartSide for 59 N. Trine with conditions
Summary
Commission voted down an insurance-driven vinyl siding request for 59 N. Trine Street, citing preservation concerns, then approved an LP SmartSide proposal with brushed-smooth finish, 6" reveal and projecting 6" corner trim to match all four elevations.
The commission considered two related applications for 59 North Trine Street. The first (CA26028) asked for a like-for-like vinyl replacement under an insurance claim. Commissioners expressed consistent resistance to vinyl in the Old Town preservation area; that motion failed on roll call. The second application (CA26029) proposed LP SmartSide siding (6" reveal) in a brushed-smooth finish with coordinated corner trim and window trim; commissioners discussed corner trim projection, soffits and porch details.
After clarifying samples and finish, the commission approved the LP SmartSide installation with conditions: corner trim must be 6 inches wide and project past the lap siding, the finish must be brushed-smooth, and all four elevations must be re-sided so the house presents a consistent appearance. The motion and subsequent amendment requiring matching elevations passed on roll call.
