DETAILED PLANNING DISCUSSION
Old Orland Historic District
Per Section 6-209.G.1, the review and approval process for Contributing Structures and Landmarks for minor work require Plan Commission and Board approval. Minor work is defined as changes that do not have a substantial impact on the exterior appearance of the structure or site, including alteration, addition, or removal of exterior architectural elements such as doors, windows, fences, skylights, siding, exterior stairs, roofs, tuck-pointing etc.
The proposed work involves removing and replacing the siding on the house as well as removing and replacing the roof on the house and the detached garage. The existing roof and siding sustained hail damage from a storm. The total scope of work includes removing the siding, installing a HardieWrap weather barrier on the house, then installing the Hardie Plank Lap Siding. The Hardie Plank Lap Siding will be the Select Cedarmill style planks and will be 5/16in thickness, 5.25in wide, and 12ft long planks. The cedar shingles on the structure will be replaced with new cedar shingles to match the existing features and will be painted green. The roof on the house and garage will be replaced with Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles in the estate gray color.
Overall, the proposed minor work conforms to the Village’s Land Development Code and policies for this area.
