Impact analysis
The owner said replacing all the siding with wood would be financially impossible; the compromise requires only profile-matching siding and two windows restored.
The property owner gets a workable path forward, and future buyers get clearer rules for historic properties.
Preservationists lose most of the eight original window openings and the strict wood-siding requirement.
