FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO <br />GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 <br />Resolution No. 2023-XXX <br />Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />redesigned to reflect a compatible, simple design. The porch <br />railing, which is also not original and in disrepair, will be <br />removed entirely. The porch header is not compatible and will <br />be removed. <br /> <br />vi. The project complies with Standard No. 6. Deteriorated <br />historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where <br />the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a <br />distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in <br />design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. The <br />non-original porch posts and railing are so severely <br />deteriorated with wood rot and missing wood pieces that it has <br />become a structural hazard. The porch posts will be removed <br />entirely and redesigned to reflect a compatible, simple design <br />that better suites the historic property, which has been altered <br />over time. <br /> <br />The deteriorating porch decking has holes and wood rot. It will <br />undergo like-for-like spot repair with T6 Doug Fir wood to <br />match the existing decking. The existing 12-inch horizontal <br />wood band immediately above the porch skirt (at the south <br />and west facades) is not original and does not accurately <br />match the existing band to the east of the porch steps (pieces <br />of wood overlap on the south façade and the band is bent and <br />deteriorated at the west façade). The band will be fully <br />replaced to match the existing band that is to the east of the <br />porch steps. The porch skirt is not original and severely <br />deteriorated. The skirt will be fully removed and replaced with <br />a new skirt in a similar style, featuring vertical slats made out <br />of redwood material to match existing. The new skirt slats will <br />be two inches wider than existing and will be spaced apart to <br />allow for airflow. Two new porch vents (which are part of the <br />porch skirt) will be replaced like-for-like in the same locations. <br /> <br />A small area immediately east of the porch steps on the south <br />façade will also receive a new horizontal band and porch skirt <br />to cover existing exposed brick at the foundation, and <br />continue the porch skirt design at the porch’s eastern <br />terminus. Although this design is not based on documentary <br />evidence, the porch and entire building have been largely <br />altered over time and the new band and skirt will provide cover <br />to the exposed foundation while unifying the overall porch <br />design. <br /> <br />vii. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The front porch <br />rehabilitation will not destroy historic materials or features. All <br />  <br />    <br />
