What this means
The decision means the property owner cannot proceed with the proposed vinyl siding. Any replacement must follow historic-preservation standards and use a similar approved material, such as wood or Hardie Board. The Board also approved or conditionally approved several signs, a fence, and a roof replacement, while continuing reviews of three addition or window-replacement applications for revised plans and documentation.
