AHBR 23-741  
144 Hudson Street (Historic District)  
Addition (972sf Mater Bedroom and Great Room)  
Submitted by Chris Lachman  
a) Staff notes this project went before the AHBR as an informal review on  
August 9, 2023.  
b) The applicant has submitted material cut sheets for the addition. The  
Architectural Design Standards state all chimneys must match the  
foundation material. Additionally, the Architectural Design Standards  
state additions should be designed to be compatible with the main  
structure by incorporating materials and foundation to match.  
c) Staff notes the existing foundation is brick and the existing chimney is  
painted brick. The applicant is proposing the new chimney to be a stone  
veneer material. Recommend both chimneys be the same material to meet  
this requirement.

Fence (4’ wood split rail)  
Submitted by Amanda Keller  
a) The Architectural Design Standards State fence heights and materials shall  
be compatible with their site location and surrounding development. Fences in  
the front yard shall be more formal in design and lower in height when sited  
close to the street or sidewalk. Staff notes a split rail fence is proposed near  
Hudson Street; however, would match existing fencing on the street and would  
be enhanced by plantings.

Accessory Structure & Addition  
Submitted by Breanna Smith, American Construction Group  
a) The Architectural Design Standards state roofs on projections should  
match the roof material on the building (unless both roofs are flat) and to  
the extent possible, shall be the same kind of roof. Natural finish metals  
such as copper, terne coated steel, or lead may be substituted for any  
roofing material. Staff notes a metal roof is proposed while the existing  
house is shingled; however, would be located at the rear of the house out  
of public view.  
b) Question if the end elevation is accurately depicting the intent of the  
design.

Covered Patio (810sf)  
Submitted by Krystal Crisman, HM Landscaping  
a) The Architectural Design Standards state materials used on an open porch  
or screen room need not be the same as other materials in the structure,  
but should be related to materials in the details of the structure. Staff notes  
the applicant is proposing shingles to match the house.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards state roofs on projections should  
match the roof material of the building, and to the extent possible, shall be  
same kind of roof. The applicant is proposing a shed roof while the house  
has gable and hip roofs; however, would be located at the rear of the  
house.  
c) Question if the drawings accurately depict proposed proportions,  
intersections with windows, and intended roof design.

7322 Arborwood Drive (Informal)  
Addition (352sf Garage Expansion  
Submitted by Len Huddleston  
a) The Architectural Design Standards state the front face of the main body  
must sit forward at least 18" from the front face of the wings. Staff notes  
the existing garage is forward of the main body and the applicant is  
proposing to extend the existing garage by 16 feet.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards require the materials used in any  
mass to be applied consistently on that mass on all sides of the structure.  
Staff notes the applicant is proposing board and batten siding on the front  
elevation that is not consistently applied to all sides of the mass.  
c) Staff notes the Land Development Code requires side loading attached  
garages to be 25 feet from the side property line. The applicant is  
proposing to be approximately 22 feet from the property line. The  
applicant would need to revise the site plan to show the 25 feet or pursue a  
variance request through the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals.  
d) Staff notes this case went to the AHBR on August 9, 2023. The Board  
requested the applicant provide documentation of the factors of a practical  
difficulty on the property. The applicant has provided this documentation.  
The AHBR can use these factors in determining if a special exception  
should be granted.
