E i�` � ; �>"s E 'l ;', L_ Presented By Referred To CITY Q�—SA}�IT PAUL, MINNESOTA � Committee: Date WHEREAS, Mon-Ray, Inc_, 8224 Olson Memorial Highway, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55427-4713 made application to the Heritage Preservation Commission for approval of a building permit application for the installation of twelve (12) clear, anodized, aluminum combination storm windows pursuant to the provisions of the Saint Paul Legislative Code for property located at 1156 Summit Avenue within the Summit Avenue West Heritage Preservation District; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission conducted a public hearing on the permit application on May 23, 1996, after having provided notice to affected property owners. The Commission, by its resolution No. 261� adopted May 23, 1996, denied the application based on the following findings and conclusions: 1. The applicant proposed to replace all of the existing second story storm windows with the exception of the three windows grouped at the center of the front elevation. According to the applicant, the property owner plans to replace the other existing storm windows on the house within the next four to five years and wants the new storms to look similar to the existing during the transition. 2. The proposed storm windows do not conform to the district guidelines in that they have a shiny, silver, metallic appearance. They would not match the color, appearance or profile of wooden storm windows and screens which the structure had originally. All of the trim on the house is painted ivory or white; it is not silver. The proposed storm windows would have a significant adverse impact on the architectural character and integrity of the structure. 3. The proposed storm windows are custom made, already fabricated, and in the applicant's warehouse. 4. In 1986, the applicant received HPC staff approval to install windows at 255 Summit Avenue identical to those now proposed. That approval was based on the mistaken understanding that the windows would appear to be white. A 1990 letter from HPC staff to the applicant states that the clear anodized, aluminum storm windows are silver in color, rather than white, and are not acceptable for use in the Aistoric District; and WHEREAS, the Summit Avenue West Heritage Preservation District guidelines for design review include the following: Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36 (a)(1): All work should be of a character and quality that maintains q� �� the distinguishing features of the building and the environment. The removal or alteration of distinctive architectural features should be avoided. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36(a)(2): Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. In the event of replacement, the new materials should match the original in composition, design, color, texture and appearance. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36(d)i3): The stylistic(s) a building represents should be respected. I£ replacement of window sash or doors is necessaYy, the replacement should duplicate the material, design and hardware of the older window sash or door. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations, plastic or metal strip awnings, or fake shutters that disturb the character and appearance of the building should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors. WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 73.06, Mon-Ray, Inc. duly filed with the City Council an appeal from the determination made by the Commission, requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and WHEREAS, acting pursuant to Section 73.06 and upon notice to affected parties, a public hearing was duly conducted by the Saint Paul City Council on August 14, 1996, where all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the Council, having heard the statements made, and having considered the application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Commission, does hereby; RESOLVE, that the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby overturn the decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission in the matter, based upon the following findings of the Council: The proposed storm windows wi11 not have a significant adverse impact on the architectural character and integrity of the structure; and G11`�� 1 2 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of Mon-Ray, Inc. be 3 and is hereby granted; and 4 5 BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall mail a copy 6 of this resolution to Mon-Ray, Inc., the Zoning Administrator, and 7 the Historic Preservation Commission. 8 Requested by Department of: By: AppT Hy: By: Form Appr d by City Attorney B '�.�G�L�,�,�. �^ �' � � Approved by Mayor for Submission to Covncil By: Adopted by Council: Date ��q� Adoption Certi£ied by Counci Secretazy � 382�4 DEPY1NiM1ENT�DFP�CE/COUNCIL �ATE INITIATED cit counci� rune �o 1997 GREEN SHEE CONTAGT PERSON 8 PHONE INRIAL/DATE �NRIAVDATE ODEPARTMENTDIREGTOfl �CITYCOUNqL Counc$ President Thune, 266-8620 ASSIGN CITYAITORNEY CINCLERK NONBER FOR � BUOGEf DIP.ECTOfl � FIN. & MGT.

He also said: • miii fuush deteriorates rather rapidly, being raw metal; a painteci finish is guazanteed a maximum of ten yeacs; anodized finish is superior--permanent fuush, part of the metal, made by chemical etching. • the proposed windows have akeady been manufactured based on Mon-Ray's experience H�ith approval of the same window in 198b for 255 Simunit Avenue. Cmsr. Albers asked several questions. Murtha: the frames aze flush and look like a wood window. Heide: are Mon-Itay windows available in a color matching the trim on this house? Deborah Olson, properiy owner: the trim paint color is white. Murtha: yes, they are available in white. (He passed aroucid a small sample of the c]eaz anodized aluminum.) • Olson spoke about thapurpose ofthe new windows: • On the south stair window, sunlight is affecting the ]eaded glass and woodwork and she wanis ]ow-e glass. • She wants to have ihe meeting rai]s match. Ms. Olson added that she does not intend to replace other windows, they work reasonably well, and she therefore want continuity. Albers: affect of proposed storms, including perhaps low-e giass, would not reflect original chazacter; they also could not be painted to match the trim color in the future. Heide: concemed about precedent. Murtha: anodized aluminum can be finished (painted). Heide and Vojacek moved and seconded the draft resolution to deny approval of a building permit application for the installation of 12 clear anodized alunvnum combination storm windows. Heide stated that his motivadon is the silver color of the windows.

In most cases, however, they are unacceptable. � The windows you installed at 255-257 Summit Avenue, in the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation Distzict; were approved because they were represented as being white. But they are not white; they are silver. The design guidelines for the Hi11 District are quite ciear: "Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations... should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors." Unpainted Mon-Rsy aluminum windows are not acceptable for use in the Hill District. The design guidelines for the Irvine Park Heritage Preservation District are even more clear: "Appropriately colored or bronzed-toned alwninum or vinyl-clad wood is acceptable. Mill finish (shiny silver) aluminum will not be allowed." Sincezely, •A� � J �� L.

The unique design and appiications of Mon-Ray secondary glazing windows far exceeds the performance standards of other storm windows. Rising energy costs and the growing probiems of outside noise infiltration have made it necessary to consider upgrading existing window units. Mon-Ray provides an additional insulating 6lanket of air space and dramatically reduces costiy air leakage. Mon-Ray secondary giazing windows can be adapted to any existing window opening. Maintain existin� architecture and achieve max�mum energy savin s with long-tasting beauty, quali�y and high performance. Mon-Ray secondary glazing window systems have proven to be a practical and affordabie aiternative as compared to more costly total repfacement windows. A Mon-Ray secondary unit can cut air Ieakage through an existing window to a minimum. This not only refiects energy savings, it aiso minimizes the penetration of excessive Ieveis of outside noise. Applications may be designed for exterior or interior installation. Mon-R2y secondary giazing units are cusiom made to retain the integrity and originat appearance of the existing windows. Energy conservation benef+ts, improved comfort levei (reducing an�oying drafts and outside noise), and minimal maintenance benefits (reducing painting, generai repairs and cleaning)... all pluses with Mon-Ray. Mon-Ray secondary glazing window products have been instalied at coiiegesfuniversities, hospiiais, hote{s, apartments, pubiic and pr+vate schools, office build'+ngs, govemmental housing, and other commerciai and light- commerciai projects throughout the United States. In addition, Mon-Ray high performance residential storm windows have been instalied on tens of thousands of homes in ail types of climates across the country. The Mon-Ray phiiosophy is to offer products at the lowest possible initia4 cost while not compromising its high pe�fiormance standards and exceptionaliy long service life. All Mon-Ray products are supported by a totai service program and by a written 10-year limited product warranty. �L3LOJ%PdfiECOJ'�pCO,..':Hp.:SEl.�cJSP� �� Gesa ldaa,:a CP^'2'.

The Commission, by its resolution No. 261� adopted May 23, 1996, denied the application based on the following findings and conclusions: 1. The applicant proposed to replace all of the existing second story storm windows with the exception of the three windows grouped at the center of the front elevation. According to the applicant, the property owner plans to replace the other existing storm windows on the house within the next four to five years and wants the new storms to look similar to the existing during the transition. 2. The proposed storm windows do not conform to the district guidelines in that they have a shiny, silver, metallic appearance. They would not match the color, appearance or profile of wooden storm windows and screens which the structure had originally. All of the trim on the house is painted ivory or white; it is not silver. The proposed storm windows would have a significant adverse impact on the architectural character and integrity of the structure. 3. The proposed storm windows are custom made, already fabricated, and in the applicant's warehouse. 4. In 1986, the applicant received HPC staff approval to install windows at 255 Summit Avenue identical to those now proposed. That approval was based on the mistaken understanding that the windows would appear to be white. A 1990 letter from HPC staff to the applicant states that the clear anodized, aluminum storm windows are silver in color, rather than white, and are not acceptable for use in the Aistoric District; and WHEREAS, the Summit Avenue West Heritage Preservation District guidelines for design review include the following: Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36 (a)(1): All work should be of a character and quality that maintains q� �� the distinguishing features of the building and the environment. The removal or alteration of distinctive architectural features should be avoided. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36(a)(2): Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. In the event of replacement, the new materials should match the original in composition, design, color, texture and appearance. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36(d)i3): The stylistic(s) a building represents should be respected. I£ replacement of window sash or doors is necessaYy, the replacement should duplicate the material, design and hardware of the older window sash or door. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations, plastic or metal strip awnings, or fake shutters that disturb the character and appearance of the building should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors. WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 73.06, Mon-Ray, Inc. duly filed with the City Council an appeal from the determination made by the Commission, requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and WHEREAS, acting pursuant to Section 73.06 and upon notice to affected parties, a public hearing was duly conducted by the Saint Paul City Council on August 14, 1996, where all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the Council, having heard the statements made, and having considered the application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Commission, does hereby; RESOLVE, that the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby overturn the decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission in the matter, based upon the following findings of the Council: The proposed storm windows wi11 not have a significant adverse impact on the architectural character and integrity of the structure; and G11`�� 1 2 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of Mon-Ray, Inc. be 3 and is hereby granted; and 4 5 BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall mail a copy 6 of this resolution to Mon-Ray, Inc., the Zoning Administrator, and 7 the Historic Preservation Commission. 8 Requested by Department of: By: AppT Hy: By: Form Appr d by City Attorney B '�.�G�L�,�,�. �^ �' � � Approved by Mayor for Submission to Covncil By: Adopted by Council: Date ��q� Adoption Certi£ied by Counci Secretazy � 382�4 DEPY1NiM1ENT�DFP�CE/COUNCIL �ATE INITIATED cit counci� rune �o 1997 GREEN SHEE CONTAGT PERSON 8 PHONE INRIAL/DATE �NRIAVDATE ODEPARTMENTDIREGTOfl �CITYCOUNqL Counc$ President Thune, 266-8620 ASSIGN CITYAITORNEY CINCLERK NONBER FOR � BUOGEf DIP.ECTOfl � FIN. & MGT.

Deborah Olson, properiy owner: the trim paint color is white. Murtha: yes, they are available in white.

Heide: concemed about precedent. Murtha: anodized aluminum can be finished (painted).

In most cases, however, they are unacceptable. � The windows you installed at 255-257 Summit Avenue, in the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation Distzict; were approved because they were represented as being white. But they are not white; they are silver. The design guidelines for the Hi11 District are quite ciear: "Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations... should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors." Unpainted Mon-Rsy aluminum windows are not acceptable for use in the Hill District. The design guidelines for the Irvine Park Heritage Preservation District are even more clear: "Appropriately colored or bronzed-toned alwninum or vinyl-clad wood is acceptable.

The unique design and appiications of Mon-Ray secondary glazing windows far exceeds the performance standards of other storm windows. Rising energy costs and the growing probiems of outside noise infiltration have made it necessary to consider upgrading existing window units. Mon-Ray provides an additional insulating 6lanket of air space and dramatically reduces costiy air leakage. Mon-Ray secondary giazing windows can be adapted to any existing window opening. Maintain existin� architecture and achieve max�mum energy savin s with long-tasting beauty, quali�y and high performance. Mon-Ray secondary glazing window systems have proven to be a practical and affordabie aiternative as compared to more costly total repfacement windows. A Mon-Ray secondary unit can cut air Ieakage through an existing window to a minimum. This not only refiects energy savings, it aiso minimizes the penetration of excessive Ieveis of outside noise. Applications may be designed for exterior or interior installation. Mon-R2y secondary giazing units are cusiom made to retain the integrity and originat appearance of the existing windows. Energy conservation benef+ts, improved comfort levei (reducing an�oying drafts and outside noise), and minimal maintenance benefits (reducing painting, generai repairs and cleaning)... all pluses with Mon-Ray. Mon-Ray secondary glazing window products have been instalied at coiiegesfuniversities, hospiiais, hote{s, apartments, pubiic and pr+vate schools, office build'+ngs, govemmental housing, and other commerciai and light- commerciai projects throughout the United States. In addition, Mon-Ray high performance residential storm windows have been instalied on tens of thousands of homes in ail types of climates across the country. The Mon-Ray phiiosophy is to offer products at the lowest possible initia4 cost while not compromising its high pe�fiormance standards and exceptionaliy long service life.

The Commission, by its resolution No. 261� adopted May 23, 1996, denied the application based on the following findings and conclusions: 1. The applicant proposed to replace all of the existing second story storm windows with the exception of the three windows grouped at the center of the front elevation. According to the applicant, the property owner plans to replace the other existing storm windows on the house within the next four to five years and wants the new storms to look similar to the existing during the transition. 2. The proposed storm windows do not conform to the district guidelines in that they have a shiny, silver, metallic appearance. They would not match the color, appearance or profile of wooden storm windows and screens which the structure had originally. All of the trim on the house is painted ivory or white; it is not silver. The proposed storm windows would have a significant adverse impact on the architectural character and integrity of the structure. 3. The proposed storm windows are custom made, already fabricated, and in the applicant's warehouse. 4. In 1986, the applicant received HPC staff approval to install windows at 255 Summit Avenue identical to those now proposed. That approval was based on the mistaken understanding that the windows would appear to be white. A 1990 letter from HPC staff to the applicant states that the clear anodized, aluminum storm windows are silver in color, rather than white, and are not acceptable for use in the Aistoric District; and WHEREAS, the Summit Avenue West Heritage Preservation District guidelines for design review include the following: Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36 (a)(1): All work should be of a character and quality that maintains q� �� the distinguishing features of the building and the environment. The removal or alteration of distinctive architectural features should be avoided. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36(a)(2): Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. In the event of replacement, the new materials should match the original in composition, design, color, texture and appearance. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 74.36(d)i3): The stylistic(s) a building represents should be respected. I£ replacement of window sash or doors is necessaYy, the replacement should duplicate the material, design and hardware of the older window sash or door. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations, plastic or metal strip awnings, or fake shutters that disturb the character and appearance of the building should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors. WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 73.06, Mon-Ray, Inc. duly filed with the City Council an appeal from the determination made by the Commission, requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and WHEREAS, acting pursuant to Section 73.06 and upon notice to affected parties, a public hearing was duly conducted by the Saint Paul City Council on August 14, 1996, where all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the Council, having heard the statements made, and having considered the application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Commission, does hereby; RESOLVE, that the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby overturn the decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission in the matter, based upon the following findings of the Council: The proposed storm windows wi11 not have a significant adverse impact on the architectural character and integrity of the structure; and G11`�� 1 2 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of Mon-Ray, Inc. be 3 and is hereby granted; and 4 5 BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall mail a copy 6 of this resolution to Mon-Ray, Inc., the Zoning Administrator, and 7 the Historic Preservation Commission. 8 Requested by Department of: By: AppT Hy: By: Form Appr d by City Attorney B '�.�G�L�,�,�. �^ �' � � Approved by Mayor for Submission to Covncil By: Adopted by Council: Date ��q� Adoption Certi£ied by Counci Secretazy � 382�4 DEPY1NiM1ENT�DFP�CE/COUNCIL �ATE INITIATED cit counci� rune �o 1997 GREEN SHEE CONTAGT PERSON 8 PHONE INRIAL/DATE �NRIAVDATE ODEPARTMENTDIREGTOfl �CITYCOUNqL Counc$ President Thune, 266-8620 ASSIGN CITYAITORNEY CINCLERK NONBER FOR � BUOGEf DIP.ECTOfl � FIN. & MGT.

He also said: • miii fuush deteriorates rather rapidly, being raw metal; a painteci finish is guazanteed a maximum of ten yeacs; anodized finish is superior--permanent fuush, part of the metal, made by chemical etching. • the proposed windows have akeady been manufactured based on Mon-Ray's experience H�ith approval of the same window in 198b for 255 Simunit Avenue. Cmsr. Albers asked several questions. Murtha: the frames aze flush and look like a wood window. Heide: are Mon-Itay windows available in a color matching the trim on this house? Deborah Olson, properiy owner: the trim paint color is white. Murtha: yes, they are available in white. (He passed aroucid a small sample of the c]eaz anodized aluminum.) • Olson spoke about thapurpose ofthe new windows: • On the south stair window, sunlight is affecting the ]eaded glass and woodwork and she wanis ]ow-e glass. • She wants to have ihe meeting rai]s match. Ms. Olson added that she does not intend to replace other windows, they work reasonably well, and she therefore want continuity. Albers: affect of proposed storms, including perhaps low-e giass, would not reflect original chazacter; they also could not be painted to match the trim color in the future. Heide: concemed about precedent. Murtha: anodized aluminum can be finished (painted). Heide and Vojacek moved and seconded the draft resolution to deny approval of a building permit application for the installation of 12 clear anodized alunvnum combination storm windows. Heide stated that his motivadon is the silver color of the windows.

In most cases, however, they are unacceptable. � The windows you installed at 255-257 Summit Avenue, in the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation Distzict; were approved because they were represented as being white. But they are not white; they are silver. The design guidelines for the Hi11 District are quite ciear: "Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations... should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors." Unpainted Mon-Rsy aluminum windows are not acceptable for use in the Hill District. The design guidelines for the Irvine Park Heritage Preservation District are even more clear: "Appropriately colored or bronzed-toned alwninum or vinyl-clad wood is acceptable.

The unique design and appiications of Mon-Ray secondary glazing windows far exceeds the performance standards of other storm windows. Rising energy costs and the growing probiems of outside noise infiltration have made it necessary to consider upgrading existing window units. Mon-Ray provides an additional insulating 6lanket of air space and dramatically reduces costiy air leakage. Mon-Ray secondary giazing windows can be adapted to any existing window opening. Maintain existin� architecture and achieve max�mum energy savin s with long-tasting beauty, quali�y and high performance. Mon-Ray secondary glazing window systems have proven to be a practical and affordabie aiternative as compared to more costly total repfacement windows. A Mon-Ray secondary unit can cut air Ieakage through an existing window to a minimum. This not only refiects energy savings, it aiso minimizes the penetration of excessive Ieveis of outside noise. Applications may be designed for exterior or interior installation. Mon-R2y secondary giazing units are cusiom made to retain the integrity and originat appearance of the existing windows. Energy conservation benef+ts, improved comfort levei (reducing an�oying drafts and outside noise), and minimal maintenance benefits (reducing painting, generai repairs and cleaning)... all pluses with Mon-Ray.
