approval to ensure such consistency:
Wood Features: The applicant shall, consistent with Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic

proposed, final plans shall be supplemented by evidence documenting and justifying the need

be replaced). New or replacement windows shall be installed on secondary building elevations
and in less-visible locations, as practicable, and all proposed window replacements shall be
justified by a description of the reasons why replacement is necessary, and why the original
windows cannot be repaired and reused. Final plans shall include a window schedule
describing all new and replacement windows, including window type, operation, and
dimensions of window elements (sashes, mullions and sills, mullions, etc.), sufficient to
evaluate their consistency with original windows and their appropriateness as replacements.

Historic Buildings provided in SOI Standards, evaluate the overall condition of the dwelling’s
entrance and porch features windows to determine the extent of replacement of these elements
that will be necessary. Final plans for the project shall clearly describe and depict the extent
of any proposed repair and replacement. Where replacement is proposed, final plans shall be
