Owner Michael Byrne told the commission the project completes a two‑phase plan begun in February 2022, replacing first‑floor windows to match the upstairs replacements and to eliminate storm shutters the owner said were likely not original to the house.

Byrne said the work will replace 18 windows on the first floor and that three special windows on the north (front) elevation will be custom made; he told the commission those three windows represent about 23 percent of the project’s total cost. Byrne said the proposal will keep decorative elements currently over the front window unchanged and will not alter the stained‑glass closet window that sits under the staircase.

Commissioners confirmed the new windows will match existing muntin patterns and shapes; the applicant clarified that the center lower front opening is fixed glass while flanking openings are double‑hung. Staff and commissioners noted siding and other decorative trim will remain unchanged. There was no public comment on the application.

A motion to approve the certificate of appropriateness cited compliance with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (standards 1–6 and 9) and section 64‑11(c) of the city’s historic preservation district regulations; the motion carried unanimously. Commissioners told Byrne he may follow up with city staff member Mr. Dyer for further details.

No public funds or permits were discussed during the hearing; building permits and final inspections will follow normal staff review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","HDC Meeting 6-25-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Bay City Historic District Commission unanimously approved a certificate of appropriateness for owner Michael Byrne to replace 18 first‑floor windows at 1408 Sixth Street (case HDC 25‑16), including three custom windows that account for roughly 23% of the project's cost.","taxTitle","Bay City, Bay County, Michigan","taxId",5009,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6512509,"Historic district approves porch rehabilitation at 15823 North Farragut Street",1181,105155,1286545,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107175-427cdc4169f510eab63d1dbd931850ec&start=105&end=1286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107175-427cdc4169f510eab63d1dbd931850ec/thumbnail_105155.jpg","/articles/6512509/Bay-City/Bay-County/Michigan/Historic-district-approves-porch-rehabilitation-at-15823-North-Farragut-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6512509-e0c5b898393a8711419601f0f72c91ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170589&Signature=huv4346H1rCWhFg9NkAhyUjkFo6VnH4zakbXXkRAYBwVlwzIFU5ZDZr70M-JWREOHGgeSzV2ilOZ8OStmRHp5FVna8KeWBdyvO98NLb6JnfKW8ZswYDzyFfNyavFAjnuue8hy0fUP44lB2RDr42SvPnbqPMKI-BBPkL-UTWLwtBAjPsc~k1WpbVijepOyFv2PuZxhexO6qef6IfKDdlKZD76McP3aaBwvmQUxqnBIwdYNqcAt~nlgY4U6KmS5eDfel6Xhp0eaAi1x~Dt1agcTJ~9x00wL0M8F4edm0uKu28VRIfoC~LPFBCKeUZVNR9tEzLPvOknOsKv0vIooxEbXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bay City Historic District Commission on an unspecified meeting date unanimously approved a certificate of appropriateness for work at the Charles A. Eddy Residence, 15823 North Farragut Street (case HDC 25‑15). The approval covers replacement of the side porch’s deck, railing and columns, structural joists and other repairs, with a stipulation that any exposed treated wood be painted within six to eight months of project completion.

The commission found the proposed work would comply with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (standards 1–6, 9 and 10) and with section 64‑11(c) of the city’s historic preservation district regulations. Tristan Robb, speaking on behalf of the applicant, described the plan as “to make that porch in line with the design of the rest of the house,” citing the front‑entrance details as the model for the replacement elements.

Commission discussion focused on how closely new elements could match existing historic features. Robb said the project will use turned spindles and “turned porch posts of 7 inch diameter.” He also noted the project team does not plan to replicate a large decorative flange at the top of the existing front column, explaining that the flange measures about 14 inches in diameter and would be difficult to reproduce. The applicant said all deck materials will be wood and that the deck surface will use 1‑by‑3 tongue‑and‑groove boards; structural joists will be replaced or sistered to bring the porch up to code.

Commissioners clarified that the proposal does not include changes to the existing stair railing and that skirting could be added at the applicant’s request. During questioning commissioners and attendees noted the house remains a multi‑unit building; the owner indicated it contains up to five units, which the commission observed may explain heavier wear on the side entrance.

The motion approving the certificate of appropriateness included the painting stipulation and carried unanimously.

Applicants were told to coordinate follow‑up questions with city staff member Mr. Dyer.","The Bay City Historic District Commission unanimously approved a certificate of appropriateness to repair and rebuild a side porch at the Charles A.
