Questions for Historic Commission regarding 4300 Ave D (Clark-Emmert): 1. there are two doors that were not present when the house was constructed, that are currently unused/unusable: a) on the west side, facing the alley a door leads to the hallway containing the laundry. We have not opened as long as we’ve lived in the house. b) on the north side facing 4302 Ave D is a door that is covered by plywood and drywall on the interior c) We would like to remove both doors and concrete stoops and replace with either siding (north side) and is in the back of the pantry. or a matching window (west side) 2. There is rot in some of the sleeping porch window frames, and one contractor has recommended replacing them with clad units of the exact same size and lite configuration. I believe these windows are from when the sleeping porch was enclosed – roughly the 1940’s North door West door from sidewalk West door from yard 4300 site plan 4300 floor plan

703 Oakland Avenue Inspection Report : Exterior Walls Deficient: Significant and detrimental water damage observed at wall assemblies. Condition is most severe at east wall and "garage" transition. Other locations included around all wall openings (doors, windows, etc.). As repairs are conducted, additional areas are expected to be discovered. The water damage is correlated with deferred maintenance, missing flashing and weatherization details and poor construction practices. If ignored, condition will progress. Visible active termites Smoot Terrace Design Standards : Exterior Walls If replacement of the historic exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material similar in dimensions, profile, reveal, and texture to the historic material, and install the new materials so that they do not damage adjacent historic fabric and so that they maintain the planar relationships and joint patterns that existed historically relative to window frames, door frames, and other exterior features What Katie Did: Discussion with OWANA zoning members Selected tear-drop siding based on the historical significance and relates to the character of the homes built in 1930s. Installed flashing and water barrier (zip board) for long term preservation. Replaced window molding with pressure-treated wood for long term preservation but maintaining same architectural design from 1938. Inspection Report : Windows Deficient: The windows are in over-all very poor condition. The majority of windows observed with water penetrations issues, air infiltration issues, deteriorated glazing, cracked panes and damaged/missing counter balance springs, impeded egress (can not escape during emergency - windows do not open). Smoot Terrace Design Standards : Windows 1. Avoid alterations that enlarge or relocate window openings 2. Retain and repair all components of existing historic windows unless HPO staff and/or the HLC agree that the individual component is deteriorated beyond repair 3. If replacement of historic windows is necessary, use windows that are the same size and match the dimensions, profile, and configuration of historic windows 4. Substitute materials are appropriate if they maintain the profile and finish appearance of the historic window. What Katie Did 1. Did not enlarge or relocate any window openings with the exception two rear kitchen windows (south wall - facing backyard) 2. Retained and repaired all possible historic windows by mixing and matching components which were salvageable. 3. For necessary replacement of historic windows, used windows that are the same size and match the dimensions, profile, and configuration of historic windows 4. Substituted materials are appropriate to the profile and finish …
