Applicant's Description In connection with other work approved in a 4/30/21 CNA,we seek to replace the rotted wooden railings on our rear
of Work: deck to the right of the driveway with a cellular PVC rail system manufactured by Intex Millwork Solutions.We
propose to use Intexs'Hampton model(see attached).This material is paintable,and will be painted to match the
existing trim(BM Navajo White).Replacement with wood was previously approved under the CNA,but our contractor
advises us that the synthetic product is more durable and aesthetically indistinguishable from wood.This railing was
replaced with wood four years ago and is already showing significant rot,despite proper priming and painting(see
attached photo).
