Applicant Request

Proposed removal of existing vinyl siding and installation of new vinyl siding.

Site Info

One-story residence with a hipped roof with projecting gables, a turreted bay on the façade, and an exterior of vinyl siding.

1. 1730 Jefferson Avenue is a contributing resource to the Park City National Register Historic District and the local overlay. The house has several exterior modifications, including replacement windows, window trim, and a section of brick veneer on the façade. The vinyl siding is visible on Google Streetview imagery going back to 2007, and the siding was noted as synthetic in the 1990 National Register nomination.

2. The applicant has not completed investigatory removal of the existing vinyl siding. One photo from the rear elevation does show existing wood siding. The applicant has noted deterioration and rot on siding but no additional information is provided.

3. Both the adopted and the approved but not yet formally adopted sets of design guidelines for Edgewood-Park City encourage duplicating original siding. The older design guidelines note that replacement siding "shall duplicate the original," and the new design guidelines note that "existing vinyl may be replaced in-kind as long as no further architectural detailing is covered or removed."

4. The proposed vinyl specifications note that 4" "clapboard style" is an available type of vinyl siding.
