2. Should this grant application be continued to the August meeting to allow the applicant to provide more detailed plans for approval? Or, can the Historic Review Board provide adequate Conditions of Approval to provide direction to both staff and the applicant?
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is seeking a grant of $1000 to replace materials on the deck and build new railings and front steps on the Edward Nutall Residence. The owner is currently rehabilitating the house and this is one of many projects.
Railings are required on porches remodels if the under or support structure of the porch is being rebuilt and if the porch is over 30 inches in height (measured 3 feet from the porch) Staff is not sure if the need for railings is required by code, or being proposed by the applicant.
