The substitution is fine with us. I'll send you a letter, but that may take a few more days. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks.

The typical goal is to turn this sort of review around in 2 weeks, but reviews are taking longer due to us being short-staffed combined with a high level of submittals. I hope to get this review completed by mid -week next week. I did notice that I could not access the pdfs that were noted in the drawings. Is there a different way to provide that information? I'm sorry for the extra work that will involve. Thanks.

I wanted to follow up on the Sapon and Swisher material change and just ensure that all the required documents had been submitted and you had everything you needed to make a determination with Dade on the proposed substitution. I'm not sure how long the review of a minor amendment usually takes, or what the process looks like exactly, so just making sure everything is in order from our end.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments for us.

Submit an ARB application for a minor amendment (Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness —staff level review) and include a physical sample. I will want to run the change by the ARB chairperson, but similarity in appearance/effect to the approved material is what we will be looking for.

Good Afternoon Margaret, The Sapon and Swisher Dentistry project is currently under construction on the corner of Hydraulic and Whitewood. Like everyone in the construction industry currently, the project is feeling the effects of the spiking lumber costs. We've seen project quotes on lumber jump as much as 200% on our projects about to break ground. LB1 1d N' 0 Lumber (USO/1000 board feet) 364.20 +1.22 (+1.22%) Nov 2020 Mar May Jul Sep Consequently, the Ipe siding that was specified at the Sapon and Swisher project is experiencing similar cost inflation. I'm writing today to see if an alternative project that looks the same, is of the same quality and character, but is more cost effective, could be an option. Currently, on all the bump outs, we have Ipe shiplap siding stained with deckwise ipe oil. The finished product looks something like this: https:Hi.p i n i mg.com/o rigi na Is/a5/e6/fa/a5e6facadf3e62559Oe7eO1e l6le776d. i pg https:Hi.p i n i mg.com/o rigi na Is/9f/f8/e4/9ff8e44715ddOa bd27lOd2661def2b77. i pg A product of similar quality that will be less maintenance, avoid the pitfalls of wood (cracking, cupping, etc.) could be either the Nichiha Vintage wood in cedar: htt ps:Hi. p i n i mg. co m/o ri g i n a I s/9f/f8/e4/9ff8 e44715d d Oa bd 271Od 2661d eft b77. i pg We also have had great success with the Woodtone Rustic Series, which is a fiber cement board, but it is only available in lap installation application. https://woodtone.com/product/rusticseries/ Similar to this product is the Allura fiber cement product. https://a I I u ra usa.com/prod ucts/lap-sid i ng/trad itiona I-lap/stain/ma hoga nv These are materials we are seeing regularly on Entrance Corridors and are similar in look, feel, color, and finish of the proposed Ipe. If you feel these are appropriate substitutions, what is the process to move forward? Thanks for any input you may have!

The applicant's description of the change and the drawings showing the locations of the material are attached. We never received a physical sample of the Ipe siding. We do have a sample of the Nichiha panel. The Vintagewood cedar color is a medium brown. Benjamin Moore Sea Life 2118-40 is the color approved for other siding on the building. Stone approved for the building is El Dorado Cottonwood: European Ledge. I think the substitution is fine, but would love to have your input on the proposed change. Thanks.
