49 Owen Brown Street (Historic District)
Addition (second story)
Submitted by WC Gotts
a) Submit a floor plan
b) Revise elevations to label proposed exterior materials for siding, trim, exposed foundation, and roof.
c) Preservation Brief #14 states "a new addition should be smaller than the historic building - it should be subordinate in both size and design to the historic building. A new addition should be simple and unobtrusive in design, and should be distinguished from the historic building." Staff notes the proposed addition should be lower in height than the existing building and the proposed dormers be reduced or removed to meet this requirement.
d) Question the proposed second story overhanging the porch. The mass would not appear to be visually supported.
e) Question the resulting roof slope at the rear elevation.
f) Staff notes PVC porch decking is proposed. PVC has not been an acceptable material for the historic district.
