New House Alterations (Windows, Trim and Material Changes)
Submitted by Maher Holozadah
a) Staff notes project received AHBR approval at the September 28, 2022, AHBR meeting.
b) Upon final inspection, staff observed deviations from the final approved plans including changes to the proposed window design, changes to stone material on front elevation, and removal of frieze boards. The applicant has submitted revised elevations for the Boards consideration to request approval of the changes.
c) Window Design: Staff notes a different window design was implemented; however, the windows are consistent. Section IV-3(e)(4) states “the building shall have a typical window used for most windows”.
d) Applied Stone: Additional stone has been applied to the front mass. Section IV-4(d)(3) states “The materials used in any mass must be applied consistently on that mass on all sides of the structure”. Staff notes the Board may consider the additional stone as it is expanded in a small area and ends at an inside corner.

Commercial Addition (Office and Storage Space)
Submitted by Elizabeth Swearingen, Peninsula Architects
a) Staff notes this proposal received informal AHBR comments at the April 9, 2025, meeting and Planning Commission approval on January 12, 2026.
b) Section IV-4(f)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards state “Details in the wings should be the same or subordinate to those in the main body. For example, a wing should not have an elaborate cornice if the main body has a simple one.” Staff notes the introduction of gable ends, window paneling, and widened corner board detail on the proposed addition.
c) Staff notes horizontal siding is proposed for the wing addition, while the main mass has brick. However, Preservation Brief #14 (Guidance on new additions) states “a new addition should be differentiated, but compatible, from the historic building.”
d) Staff notes the design follows the guidance of Preservation Brief #14 by being subordinate to the existing building. The design is lower in height and separated by a hyphen (link).
