1) Minutes — The board approved the corrected minutes from the Aug. 14, 2025 meeting after members amended language about a railing discussion at 211 South Beaver Street to reflect a historically profiled cap, base rail and inch-and-a-quarter square balusters rather than \"typical 2 by 4 rails.\" A motion to accept the corrected minutes carried.

2) 113 & 115 South Pine Street — The board approved repainting of window trim at 113 and 115 South Pine Street and declined to approve aluminum quill wrapping of trim, citing preservation concerns and moisture intrusion risks. (See separate article for discussion.)

3) 270–272 West Market Street — The board approved replacement of nine second-floor windows and associated deck and rail work to address lead-based-paint hazards, contingent on the applicant researching feasible options to preserve or accurately replicate original jigsaw-cut spindles. The board preferred vented composite soffit material where available, with vented vinyl as a fallback. (See separate article for details.)

4) 38 North Broad Street — The board approved a rear-yard pole barn application, allowing the owner to choose either the submitted single-slope shed roof or, optionally, a double-slope gable roof. The owner later confirmed the structure will have a single-slope roof.

The applicant described a pole-barn structure that would extend approximately three feet into the existing rear yard to allow vehicle access and said the existing small play-shed would be removed. Board members observed that the property is an alley building and that the structure would be difficult to see from primary public vantage points; one member suggested the owner could choose a double-slope gable roof if desired for aesthetic reasons.

A motion approved the application as submitted, with an explicit option allowing the owner to substitute a double-slope gable roof in place of the single-slope shed roof shown on drawings. The owner later confirmed the final choice would be a single-slope roof and said the drawing discrepancy was a graphic error by their engineer. The motion carried and the board closed the matter.","The board approved the application to construct a pole barn behind 38 North Broad Street, allowing the owner to choose a single-slope shed roof as submitted or a double-slope gable roof instead.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480182,"Board approves window, deck and soffit work at 272 West Market with condition to pursue historic spindle preservation",1526,729000,2255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5691403-23c1a81f92cf1b2bc743cfcfd7d85a83&start=729&end=2255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5691403-23c1a81f92cf1b2bc743cfcfd7d85a83/thumbnail_729000.jpg","/articles/6480182/York-City/York-County/Pennsylvania/Board-approves-window-deck-and-soffit-work-at-272-West-Market-with-condition-to-pursue-historic-spindle-preservation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480182-5731e094421193a2ffaa6c8959457f2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448623&Signature=kHFs8CdSVk33HbEzPozamrbvMYVNBkoDQEOnieFKzwf1NJcLRpL12CvdHtLbN4hyn3ZOuSQ9RWgWe4y7axEmT20CL4pifgrg5FKS5n5G1l1sIpCvAYd-0sV3hTeFdqC9KnxJ5IDn-3tfwOXpqLGKEc0YZL9wB9xBNUCxtOWydJhUdL1Nh3nSTSgqQrLXSJF-NR6EVxKtVB~lOqLVskeMvPJ-S0BtqxVhRRWMcI7X~AQPgF45t1kM0Mct4FErUIwEb5bxfHi4vw5scPOsfQVAU6WxTMnbIU6yEk1ok2Wn776Wp31Aut1~hNlAP7s8uajo1imXa08MPtqn565SjfmE4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The York City Historical Architectural Review Board voted to approve work at 270–272 West Market Street that addresses lead-contaminated paint on a second-floor fire-escape balcony, subject to efforts to preserve or replicate historic decorative spindles where feasible.

Kevin Paul of Servpro told the board the property “failed a lead test” and that the UPMC report found lead-based paint “throughout the fire escape, balcony,” with deteriorated paint on rails, spindles and windows. He said the proposal includes replacing windows (nine on the second floor: six at 272 and three at 270), removing and replacing deck boards, and replacing the rail system. The application listed Andersen A-series windows in the revised specification sheet; Paul said the 100 series would also be acceptable.

Board members discussed options for preserving the distinctive jigsaw-cut spindles. One member suggested fabricating replacements from cypress or cedar with a computer-controlled router; another proposed composite replicates if wood is impractical. The applicant said some spindles are rotted and that an abatement/repair option — stripping and resealing existing spindles and replacing only the rotted ones — had not been fully costed.

A motion approved the windows and the proposed deck and rail work while directing the applicant to investigate cost-effective ways to preserve or replicate the jigsaw-cut spindles (including wood reproduction or composite fabrication). If preservation or accurate replication is not feasible, the board authorized replacement with simpler straight inch-and-a-quarter square balusters and a historically appropriate cap and base rail profile (a profile commonly sold by molding suppliers and composite vendors). The board also approved a vented composite soffit in lieu of vinyl if a composite vented product with a beadboard look is available; otherwise the board said it would accept vented vinyl as a fallback.

The applicant and board discussed detailing to prevent water intrusion under new deck materials; board members described a membrane-on-subfloor approach with sleepers for composite walk boards as the durable solution, but they acknowledged it is costlier. The applicant reported Andersen windows would be approximately a 12-week lead time.

In discussion, the board emphasized visibility from Market Street and the desire to retain historic character where possible while allowing the property owner to address lead hazards and structural deterioration. The motion carried and included a staff follow-up to review proposed spindle replication options, soffit material samples and final window specifications.","The board approved replacement of lead-contaminated windows and deck components at 270–272 West Market Street, asking the applicant to explore options to preserve or replicate original jigsaw-cut spindles before authorizing simpler replacements.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":46,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480187,"York Housing Authority to paint trim at 113–115 S.

The decision followed a presentation from Michael Showers, deputy director and solicitor for the York Housing Authority, who said the authority had cost estimates “to paint the exterior trim around the windows or in the alternative, wrap them with aluminum quill wrap,” and that, while painting was cheaper, “we feel the long term durability and the consistency would be more appropriate to match all 3 units, which are part of the same building.”

Board members pressed that the board has not approved wrapping historically detailed wood trim and that wrapping can trap water and accelerate deterioration. One board member said wrapping “will allow water behind it” and “will hinder long term durability.” The board noted 117 South Pine already has a wrap that was applied without permits and was not reversed by the city, but members said that precedent does not justify approving new wrapping on contributing building elements.

After discussion clarifying that the application concerned window trim — not encapsulating the entire building — a motion to approve the application to repaint the trim carried. The applicant confirmed the work would be done professionally and color-matching would be used where repainting was required.

The board’s action was narrowly focused on the trim around windows at 113 and 115 South Pine. Members asked the applicant to provide clear specifications and photographs as work proceeds so staff can confirm that paint and repair work preserves historic details rather than covering or permanently altering them.

The board did not adopt any new written policy at the meeting; members relied on their existing preservation standards and past practice in explaining why they prefer repair and repainting to full aluminum wrapping.

The board also recorded that 117 South Pine has an existing aluminum wrap applied without prior approval; members noted that history but did not reverse that prior alteration at this meeting.

For the record, the applicant withdrew the alternative of wrapping in favor of repainting after the board’s remarks and the board approved the repainting as submitted.","The York City Historical Architectural Review Board approved the York Housing Authority’s request to repaint exterior trim at 113 and 115 South Pine Street and declined to approve a full aluminum wrap, citing preservation concerns and moisture risks.","actionData","errors"]
