stairs.
Mr. Roeder explained to the commission that this home originally had two set of
stairs and that he will be restoring the home back to its original status. Mr. Roeder
further explained that when he purchased the home the deck was squishy and found
that the deck patio was falling and rotting with very little foundation. During the
process of inspecting the deck patio, they discovered where the old stairs that had
been removed used to be.
Chairman King clarified for the record that this application is to replace an existing
set of stairs and replace a missing second set of original stairs.
Mr. Roeder stated that as a rehabilitator of old houses he tries to restore the home to
their original status. Mr. Roeder shared that he would have the same cedar shingles
to match the siding, ceiling to be real wood wainscoting, posts will have
embellishments to them; historic to their period, pillars that are trimmed on the
outside and with the commission's approval would like to wrap the posts with the era
type embellishment at the bottom, framing the post. The decking material will be trex
and will have drainage so the water will run away from the foundation.

Commissioner Burwell asked about handrails.
Mr. Roeder confirmed that handrails would be installed.
The applicant and the commission discussed the change of height from the deck
floor to the top of handrail and wraps due to the Building Codes.
Chairman King explained they have no contention regarding the code but stated that
it was good information.
Commissioner Bradshaw asked what type of siding would go along the deck.
Mr. Roeder responded that the exact same, cedar siding and shingles to match the
existing size.
Mr. Roeder asked what type of stair material the commission would like him to use.
Chairman King asked the commission their thoughts on trex material, and that he
sees it like a vinyl window verses a wood window and in his own opinion, it would be
ok.
The commission discussed the use of trex material.
Mr. Roeder stated that he would replicate the flared skirt at the perimeter of the
home.
Chairman King asked Mr. Roeder about the trim along the front gable of the porch.
Mr. Roeder explained that they are going to try to keep the top plate because the
posts butt up to it and do not go inside of it so they are going to maintain that top
plate and the roof. The bottom plate will match the top plate of the porch.
Chairman King confirmed that they would keep the top part of the roof and the
narrow siding but will be replacing everything below.
Mr. Roeder confirmed but stated that there is a caveat; when they begin removal of
the bottom portion and if that top plate is damaged or cracked, weather beaten or
water logged they will replace it, but they will replace it with like kind, wood.
Chairman King wondered if that would require a second application.
Staff explained that the commission might place a condition on the Certificate of
Appropriateness stating that if the roof were removed, the roof would be replaced
with like material, wood.
Chairman King confirmed that the replacement stairs would not be widened and
would go back within the same dimensions that exists.
Mr. Roeder confirmed the porch would be replaced in the exact same footprint.
