2. Certificate of Appropriateness Review
A. C.0.A. 19-16 — 308 East Washington Street — Latifi Residence — Siding & Shutter
Replacement
Albano Latifi, property owner of 308 East Washington Street, located in the East Washington
Street Historic District, is requesting approval to replace the siding and shutters on the
existing two-family home on the property. The applicant will be replacing the existing 4”
vinyl siding with Royal Woodland double 4.5” clapboard style vinyl siding with a Marine
Blue color. All siding accessories will be of the same brand and color. The siding will have a
low gloss natural cedar woodgrain pattern. In addition to replacing the siding, any rotting
wood will be removed and replaced and new one-quarter inch thick fanfold insulation will be
installed. All of the existing shutters will be replaced with the same style in a white color. The
structure is an 1890’s Queen Anne/Free Classic considered to be in good condition. It is a
contributing property but is not a candidate for local landmark status.
After a brief discussion by the Commission, Vice Chairman Letsche made a motion to
approve C.O.A. 19-16 as presented. Commissioner Garcia seconded the motion. The motion
passed with an all aye vote.

sound, current building code requirements will kick in to bring the building up to code if it is
open to the public.

meeting. With a voice vote of all ayes the motion carried. The meeting, at 6:21 p.m.,
