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.
