The Commission, by its Resolution 2343, dated June 8, 1995, decided to deny the application for building pemut to install aluminum soffits, fascia and gutters based on the following findings and conclusions: 1. The applicant proposes to wrap the e�usting wooden soffits and fascia on the sides, rear, and front gable of the structure with white aluminum. The wooden eaves on the two-story front porch would remain as is. According to the applicant/contractor, the e�usting soffits and fascia are in good condition but need painting. According to the properTy owner, the existing fascia boards are rotted, resulting in problems with attimals, and fascia replacement with new wood and soffit repair would be cost prohibitive--in excess of $10,000, excluding painting. The e�sting soffits appear to be in reasonably good condition, though some replacement may be necessary. The cost of the proposed work is $4,548, including new gutters. 2. The applicant has already installed the aluminum soffit and fascia on the west side of the structure, in spite of numerous warnings from the property owner about the need for a building permit and inquiries about its procurement. According to the property owner, he had been assured by the applicant that a permit had been pulled. 3. Tt�e proposed alteration does not conform to the Hill District guidelines which call for retention of original materials and, if necessary, replacement with materials matching the original. The proposed material differs from the original in composition, design, profile, and appearance. The existing soffit boards run parallel to the exterior wails; the profile of the aluminum soffits are perpendicular to the walls. The fascia moldings are also covered. Whereas, Pursuant to the provisions of Section 73.06, Dennis A. Louie duly filed with Yhe C`ity Council an appeal from the determination made by the Heritage Preservation Commission, requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and
