Board approves window‑replacement plan for 30 S. J Street condo unit to restore consistent appearance
Summary
The board approved a certificate of appropriateness for replacement windows at a 16‑unit condominium at 30 South J Street (unit 11B), allowing single‑hung aluminum windows with applied muntins as compatible with design guidelines and to bring consistency to the building over time.
Staff presented HRPB project 25-00100192 for replacement windows at a 16‑unit condominium at 30 South J Street (unit 11B). The building is noncontributing but visible from multiple elevations; staff reviewed a complex paperwork history including a 2017 development order and an HOA letter that created conflicting guidance for replacements.
Staff recommended approval of a replacement approach that uses single‑hung or double‑hung aluminum windows with applied horizontal muntins to replicate the original divided‑light patterns where possible. Staff emphasized that the proposed approval intends to guide future replacements across the building so that new work is more consistent with design guidelines. Board members discussed the permit history and whether the development order would be superseded by the new conditions; staff said the new development order is intended to guide future replacements and resolve inconsistencies. The motion to approve the staff recommendation passed unanimously.
