RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Jesse LaCoste is requesting approval to replace the existing board and batten wood siding with board and batten fiber cement siding. A rear addition and exterior modifications to this structure was approved in January 2020 and following an abbreviated review in February 2020. At that time, board and batten wood siding was approved for the addition, along with any required board for board repairs to the existing building, with the intent to match the historic elements. Since then and during the renovation project, the building was destroyed by Hurricane Sally. The applicant has provided an engineering letter recommending that cement board siding be used, as well as photographs showing the condition of the structure after the hurricane.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
