139 Hudson Street
Accessory Structure (Detached Garage)
Submitted by Madelyn Midgley, Peninsula Architects
a) Section III-1(d)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states “Enclosed accessory buildings shall incorporate some elements similar to the main body, for example similar corner boards, window types, or materials”. Staff notes the gables would have cedar shake to match the main body; however, question if an additional element from the main body could be integrated, such as window design, a brick exposed foundation, or gable returns.
b) Section III-1(d)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards states “The roof of an enclosed accessory building should be the same roof shape as the roof of the main structure.” Question the proposed hip roof mass as the main structure has gable roofs.
c) Section III-1(d)(5) of the Architectural Design Standards states “All facades (including the rear) over twelve (12) feet long shall have at least one window or door opening. Fenestration placement on the accessory structure shall be proportional to the house.” Suggest additional fenestration on the side elevation with the proposed 15 ft span between windows to meet this requirement.
d) Section III-1(g)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards states exposed foundations and tie courses shall be of a consistent material on all elevations. Revise elevations to depict foundational materials.
e) Submit photos of the existing garage.
