PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to replace the existing front stairs of the house located at 532- 5th Street. The new stairs
will be of wood construction and be painted to match the existing porch floor. The design will include a
wooden guardrail and handrail on each side of the stairs. Both railings are designed to meet current building
code requirements. The stairs will be widened from the existing 4'6" to the proposed 5'6". The post caps will
be replaced with I y," wood material to repair alterations made to them in order to accept the existing stair
guardrail. The applicant proposes to replicate the original caps in all details and they will be painted to match
the existing porch trim.

BACKGROUND/ SITE INFORMATION
The Bungalow-style house at 532 - 5th Street was built in 1918 and is considered to be of Secondary
Significance (Contributing) within the Washburne Historic District which was entered in the National
Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1987. The June 1984 Historic Site and Building Inventory
indicates that "the porch steps have a long run, indicative of the high floor line", The stairs are
proposed to be replaced because they have deteriorated due to weathering and improper repair in the
past to such an extent that they are unsafe. The current stairs are composed of painted wood and have
a wooden guardrail on each side. The guardrail is not original to the house. A photo of the house
taken as part ofthe June 1984 Inv~ntory shows a much more open guardrail than the one that currently
exists.
REVIEW PROCESS
In accordance with SDC 3.3-915 Band C, the Springfield Historical Commission reviews and makes
recommendations to staff on Type I decisions. The Springfield Historical Commission reviewed this
proposal at their November 5th, 2008 meeting. They had no objections to the design and recommended
approval.
DECISION
