HPCA 26-00100 Mesta Park Garage Door Material

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names may be misheard.

  • What: request to replace a metal garage door in Mesta Park (Ward 6) with a similar steel door; the guidelines allow wood, wood veneer with a concealed metal frame, or composite, not steel.
  • Where it stands: on 2026-10-16 the commission approved the application on condition that the replacement door be approved by staff and made of a material the guidelines support.
  • Next: the owner submits a compliant door for administrative approval.

Discussion

  • Staff recommended continuance so a compliant door could be approved administratively; the owner, who cannot open the current door, asked for approval now rather than waiting a month.
  • She said wood quotes ranged from about 6,000 dollars to 41,000 dollars and that installers advise against veneer; a commissioner recommended approving with a staff-approval condition so she has time to choose.
  • The commission did not approve a steel door.
