Summary

The HDC conditionally approved replacement windows at 718 Bellevue Ave Unit 2, directing that proposed casements be replaced with double‑hung windows and that the preservation planner administratively approve final window specifications.

Commissioners conditionally approved an application to replace windows at 718 Bellevue Avenue Unit 2 with the caveat that the proposed casement windows be changed to double‑hung units and that final product specifications be administratively approved by the preservation planner. The commission discussed historic compatibility and asked the applicant to provide a spec sheet for the preservation planner’s review.

During deliberations, commissioners emphasized a preference for windows that "mimic what was there" on the front elevation and asked the applicant’s representative and window expert to document locations and types of existing fenestration. The motion to approve the application with the condition that the planner administratively approve a double‑hung spec passed by voice vote.
