DRB conditions approval for 38 Caroline Street: aluminum‑clad windows and reduced window graphics required
Summary
The board approved exterior paint and window replacements at 38 Caroline Street, conditioning approval on aluminum‑clad windows (Pella product specified) to be submitted administratively and limiting interior vinyl window graphics to code limits.
The Design Review Board approved exterior paint and window replacements for 38 Caroline Street on Oct. 23, with conditions. Applicant Bob Flansberg of Dreamscapes Unlimited said the team will replace existing vinyl windows with an aluminum‑clad product (Andersen/Pella style) and repaint the façade a uniform Benjamin Moore Bennington Gray. "And the Anderson 400 series is what we're proposing," the applicant said during the presentation, explaining the proposed replacement windows.
Board members emphasized material appropriateness for the historic district and required that final window dimensions and trim details be submitted administratively for staff review. The chair reminded the applicant that interior vinyl window graphics cannot cover more than 30% of the glazing under code and must be reduced. The motion approved the application with the condition that Pella aluminum‑clad windows be used and that final dimensions be reviewed administratively. The applicant was told to submit final specs and exterior trim details before administrative signoff.
