b) Staff notes the house and detached garage were built in 1953.

Further, the Board finds that the application for a permit to demolish these structures will not voluntarily consent to the retention of these buildings. | | |

Addition (Kitchen, Master Bedroom, Great Room, & Screened Porch)
Submitted by Nate Bailey, Hara Architects
a) Staff notes the proposal received informal review by the AHBR at the February 11, 2026, meeting.
b) Section IV-4(c) of the Architectural Design Standards state that all roofs in all the wings must be of the same shape as the main body, but they may have a different pitch or orientation. Roofs shall not intersect a wall so as to cause a valley. Staff notes a significantly large flat roof is proposed, along with hip roofs, as the existing house has clipped gable roofs. Staff understands the Board determined the rear gables as compatible; however, the proposed flat roof is a conflict with the requirement. | | |

Addition (Bedroom, Bathroom, Office, and 3-Car Garage)
Submitted by Nate Bailey, Hara Architects
a) The National Park Service 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 footprint is larger than the main historic mass and that the addition should be subordinate in size compared to the existing building. Reduce the overall footprint of the proposed addition to be smaller than the historic main mass to meet this requirement. Additionally, to be compatible but not compete in design suggest a simpler design by removing the gable ends but repeating the window design of the historic building.
b) The National Park Service Preservation Brief #14 states a new addition should bear a relationship to the proportions and massing of the historic building. Reduce the overall footprint | | |
