[MassHistPres] HDC guidelines for siding/windows within a district

[lancasterhistorian]

The Lancaster Historic District Study Committee is preparing for a special
town meeting to bring forward a proposed historic district bylaw. We have
received from MHC the recommendation to proceed.

Does any presently established Historic District Commission(s) have a list
of recommended house sidings and windows including manufacturers?  .  The
recurring questions and concerns at all our public meetings and the hearing
are about financial hardship for the property owners pertaining to siding
and replacement window choices.  Since the guidelines are established by the
appointed commission once the bylaw is past some citizens are hesitant to
support the bylaw.  

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.
