COA Requests 226 North 6th Street – Third Story Window and Door Replacement Applicant David Schoorman presented his application for the replacement of six third story windows and one third story door on his building located at 226 North 6th Street. Dick motioned to approve the application as submitted, Rick provided a second and the motion was opened for discussion. David noted that the Commission had approved similar work to the third story of the building in 2010 with the replacement of four windows and eight sets of double doors. This application matches the 2010 approved work; all windows will be aluminum clad and custom ordered to fit the window opening. The door being replaced will be custom milled to fit the opening. Ellie indicated that it appears the windows and door are in a sever state of disrepair. David indicated that a professional window restoration consultant refused to do a demonstration on the windows on the third story because they were in such bad shape.
