Title
HRB Policies Work Session
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Discuss proposed changes to HRB policies on building materials; view material samples. No policies will be adopted at this work session.
BACKGROUND:
The HRB Work Plan for 2018 includes updating HRB policies. HRB Policies were first established in 1988 and gave staff the ability to approve alterations to historic resources if the policies were met. The policies are meant to provide clear direction to historic property owners who want to gain approval without going before the Historic Review Board.
Staff frequently hears questions regarding the following materials. Currently, the policies allow only wood siding, decking and wood windows (including aluminum clad wood). An update to the building materials policies might address if and when the following building materials are acceptable. Staff is providing sample materials to view at the work session.
1. Composite Decking (e.g. TREX)
2. Fiberglass-clad wood windows
3. Fiberglass windows
4. Fibrex windows
5. Fiber cement siding (e.g. Hardieplank)
6. Others identified by HRB or community
