The owner subsequently changed contractors, and the current permit was issued to Chris Lachman on September 14, 2023. City staff conducted a progress inspection on May 9, 2024 and observed changes to the approved plans and AHBR approval without a certificate of appropriateness including replacement of historic wood siding, window replacements, and the installation of a circular art glass window . City staff issued a stop work order after observing these changes. The applicant prepared updated drawings and submitted to the AHBR for initial review at the May 22 , 2024 meeting. The Board conducted a site visit on May 28, 2024. Additional changes to the original plans were observed during the site visit, including the installation of a skylight. Mr. Sugar then outlined the staff comments, which included the full Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation for the Board's consideration. The staff comments also outlined the main discussion points, which were changes to siding, windows, and a skylight. Mr. Chris Lachman, applicant, was present for the meeting. The Board, applicant and staff discussed the replacement of the historic wood siding which done without a certificate of appropriateness. The Board expressed frustration with the work being done outside of the previously authorized scope of work. The Board noted that this work was done contrary to the Secretary of Interior Standards, which requires repair rather than replacement. The Board noted there was no evidence that the siding was deteriorated beyond repair. Mr. Lachman noted the decay of the existing siding and that he did not realize the need for window replacement City of Hudson, Ohio Page 3 Architectural & Historic Board of Review Meeting Minutes - Final June 26, 2024 approval. The Board discussed the circular window's that was installed. The Board noted the circular window with art glass was installed without a certificate of appropriateness and the applicant is now proposing to move it towards the rear of the house on the same facade. The Board noted the window is highly visible to the street and is not compliant with the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation as it is not historically appropriate . The Board and applicant discussed and confirmed that there was previously an awning window in this location that has been removed. The Board discussed the windows that had been replaced and noted that they were not replaced with the same historical profile of the original windows. They are flush with the building and the previous windows were recessed. The Board noted that during the site visit they did not observe the need for replacement of the windows. The Secretary of Interior Standard #9 requires repair prior to consideration of replacement . The Board discussed the north and south dormers and the skylights that are proposed at each . The consensus of the Board was not in favor of a skylight being added to the southern dormer due to its high visibility and impact . The Board noted that the dormer was questioned when originally approved and this would be further adding to its visibility and impact. Ms. Marzulla made a motion, seconded by Mr. Wetzel, to approve the application with the following modifications to the proposed plans and findings of fact: 1) Section III-2 (b)(1) states "Historic landmarks or buildings within historic districts which are greater than fifty years old will not be reviewed according to the type Standards in Part IV. Such buildings will be reviewed according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Rehabilitation (see Appendix I) and National Park Service Preservation Briefs #14 and #16." 2) The wood siding that was installed to replace historic wood siding without a certificate of appropriateness shall remain only because retrieval and reinstallation of the historic siding is impossible. 3) The circular window installed at the right elevation without a certificate of appropriateness from the AHBR shall be removed and replaced with an awning window to match the opposite elevation pursuant to the Secretary of Interior Standards Preservation Brief #14, which states "a new additional should be simple and unobtrusive in design, and should be distinguished from the historic building; a new addition shall not be highly visible from the public right of way; the treatment of the addition should not be so different that it becomes the primary focus" and the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation Standard #1 stating "a property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment." 4) The additional windows requested to be replaced shall be removed from the proposal based on the lack of evidence for need of replacement as stipulated in the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation Standard #6 stating "deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence." 5) The skylight installed without the approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness is approved to remain on the north elevation as the AHBR finds the north elevation is less visible than the south elevation. 6) The skylight on the south elevation shall be removed from the proposal pursuant to the Secretary of Interior Standards Preservation Brief #14, which states "a new additional should be simple and unobtrusive in design, and should be distinguished from the historic building; a City of Hudson, Ohio Page 4 Architectural & Historic Board of Review Meeting Minutes - Final June 26, 2024 new additional shall not be highly visible from the public right of way"; the treatment of the addition should not be so different that it becomes the primary focus" and the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation Standard #1 stating "a property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment." The AHBR finds that the south elevation window is more visible than the north elevation.

AHBR 22- 56 College Street (Historic District) 294 Alterations (Siding & Windows) Submitted by Chris Lachman a) Staff notes this case was reviewed by the AHBR on May 22, 2024. The Board requested a site visit, which was held on May 28, 2024. b) Staff notes the applicant is requesting changes to a previous AHBR approval. Multiple changes have already been constructed, in addition to other changes that have not yet been constructed. c) Changes to historic properties are regulated by the Secretary of interior Standards for Rehabilitation. The Standards include, but are not limited to the following: - A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. - The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. - Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. - Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. - Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. - Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. - New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. d) Staff notes the following changes for discussion: - Siding has been replaced on the historic main mass: The replacement siding, while outside of the scope of work, matches the profile of the existing siding. - A circular window was installed on the second-floor north elevation. The circular window replaced a double hung window. Based on discussions with the Board, the applicant has proposed to move the window towards the rear of the main mass, along the same elevation. Staff recommends the existing double hung window (current location of circular window) be reconstructed to the same specifications. City of Hudson, Ohio Page 4 Printed on 6/26/2024 Architectural & Historic Board of Review CD Meeting Agenda - Final June 26, 2024 - Windows were replaced outside of the scope of work. The applicant is requesting additional windows to be replaced. Staff recommends these windows remain unchanged, as significant deterioration was not observed on the site visit and the Board did not observe the interior conditions of the windows. - Two skylights are proposed, one on the north elevation and one on the south elevation. The north elevation skylight was installed outside of the original scope of work. Staff recommends the plans be revised to remove the southern skylight, as it is more visible and further accentuates an already appreciable dormer addition.
