Submitted by Eric Kuczek, Sojourn Architects
a) Staff notes this application was continued from the May 13, 2026 AHBR meeting.
b) The National Park Service Preservation Brief #14 for additions 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 applicant has submitted revised elevations for the Boards consideration that depict a reduced rear dormer centered on the rear roofline and proposed shutters on the left-side elevation.
c) The National Park Service Preservation Brief #14 for additions states “a new addition should not be highly visible from the public right of way; a rear or secondary elevation is usually the best location for a new addition”. Question the proposed front dormers; however, staff acknowledges the dormers would not result in a footprint expansion and are common thr | | |

Addition (Bedroom, Dormers & Gable)
Submitted by Chris Luker
a) Staff notes the existing house would be classified as a two-story wing type.
b) Section IV-4(g)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards states that additions should be designed to be compatible with the main structure by incorporating materials and a foundation to match. Staff notes a standing seam metal roof is proposed to mix with the shingle. Revise elevations to depict one consistent roof material.
c) Verify proposed shake siding material will end on an inside corner.
d) Section III-1(g)(8) of the Architectural Design Standards state that Large expanses of blank wall are to be avoided. Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of approximately every 12 feet. Question removal of south elevation 2nd story window.
e) Section IV-4(a) identifies the two story wing type as a main body and subordinate wings. Question the second floor addition extending to the west wing, which would further deemphasize the small main mass containing the front door. | | |

Addition (Master Bedroom & Bathroom)
Submitted by Eric Wright, Sojourn Architects
a) Section IV-4 of the Architectural Design Standards states that the front face of the main body must sit forward at least 18" from the front face of the wings”. Staff notes the existing wing sits forward of the main mass; however, the second story addition would increase the degree of nonconformity and would not meet the intent of the requirement for the wings to be subordinate to the main mass.
b) Section IV-4(f)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states that details in a wing must be consistently applied throughout the sides of that wing. Staff notes that shutters are proposed on the front elevation only. However, staff notes that 3 sides of the existing house do not have shutters and the proposed design would be consistent with the existing house.
c) Question if existing chimney is being removed. | | |

b) Staff notes the site plan was approved by the Planning Commission at the May 11, 2026 meeting with a condition of approval to receive AHBR approval.

As the building is not yet 50 years old, staff notes that it is not subject to review under the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. The proposed project would instead be reviewed for compliance with the Architectural Design Standards type standards, part 4. However, overall compatibility to the surrounding buildings and campus is considered.
d) Staff notes the AHBR requested additional study of the curtain wall. The applicant has submitted additional perspectives from surrounding streets.

Addition (Attached Garage)
Submitted by Bridget Tipton
a) Question proposed forward garage wing expansion. Section IV-4 (h)(1) of the Architectural Design Standards states that wings must be attached at the rear or side of the building and may not extend forward of the main body. However, staff notes that the existing garage is forward of the main mass.
b) Staff notes a previous approval was granted by the Architectural and Historic Board of Review at the June 28, 2023 meeting for a similar proposal to expand the existing forward garage mass. The previously approved plans consisted of a reduced scope and smaller addition than what is currently proposed. The previously approved plans are attached for the Boards review. | | |
