822 W. Grand Canyon Ave. Grant Application

Approval of a Level 1 Historic Signs and Facades Grant application for replacement of non-historic windows, restoration of a missing eave, and exterior painting at address 822 W. Grand Canyon Ave. 

Approval of a Level 1 Historic Signs and Facades Grant application for replacement of non-historic windows, restoration of a missing eave, and exterior painting at address 822 W. Grand Canyon Ave. The applicant is requesting Level 1 grant funding to undertake exterior rehabilitation work on a residence constructed in 1918. The property is located outside existing historic districts or overlay zones and has not been formally evaluated for eligibility for the National or Flagstaff Register of Historic Places. 

Level 1 funding is intended to enhance the historic integrity of a property, remove inappropriate alterations, and protect or preserve historic materials. The proposed scope of work aligns with these goals. The applicant proposes the following improvements:

• Window Replacement: Removal of non-historic windows and installation of historically appropriate double-hung fiberglass or wood windows consistent with the home’s original window style. Vinyl windows will not be used.

• Restoration of Missing Eave: Reconstruction of the front door eave, which evidence indicates once existed but was removed during a previous alteration.

• Exterior Painting: Repainting the home and garage using colors appropriate to a historic palette. 

These improvements are intended to return the front façade to a more historically accurate appearance, remove incompatible alterations, and preserve the building’s historic materials and character.

Sufficient grant funding remains available for the current fiscal year to support this request. No other grant applications have been submitted for consideration at this time. The Commission may also consider adding a condition requiring project completion within the current fiscal year to ensure expenditure of remaining funds.

• Approve the Historic Signs and Facades Grant application with additional conditions, such as requiring completion of the project within the current fiscal year. 
• Deny the Historic Signs and Facades Grant application.

None.
