Title/Name/Summary
9123 W 147th Street - REIRS, AR
History
The purpose of this petition (Robert Skrocki) is to obtain funding assistance from the REIRS program to install new exterior insulated siding on all four facades of the single family home at 9123 W 147th Street (27-10-403-001), in the Fairway Estates subdivision, an R-3A Residential District.

However, based on the specification sheets submitted, the petitioner has indicated that program compliant materials were used in the re-siding project. Photographs taken during the construction indicate a DOW High Performance Underlayment insulation foam was added to the building prior to the siding. Such underlayment has an R-value of 3 (per the foam board insulation description sheet for XPS foam) while the siding can have an R-Value of 1. This is consistent with the system specification sheets provided for the type of vinyl siding that is proposed below: Variform by PlyGEM (R-4).
While the project was completed prior to any recommendation for approval, there is precedent to review a REIRS project out of order. Case number 2010-0404, 14911 Highland Avenue, completed an otherwise eligible energy efficiency project prior to review. The REIRS program states, "Improvements completed prior to notification of approval of the grant application…” are ineligible" (page 2 on REIRS guidelines). In 2010-0404...
