Demolition (Detached Accessory Structure)

Submitted by Nate Bailey, Hara Architects

a) Staff notes the proposed scope of work is to demolish an existing detached

garage constructed in the 1920’s

b) The existing house on the property is designated as a Historic Landmark,

but the designation does not apply to the existing garage on the property.

c) Staff notes the applicant states that the existing accessory structure is in a

state of significant disrepair, including structural racking, deteriorated

siding, and a failing foundation.

d) As the structure is outside the historic district and is not an individual

historic landmark, the AHBR may only make the following

recommendation upon review: The Architectural and Historic Board of

Review finds the structure at 2115 E Streetsboro St [(does)(does not)] have

historic or architectural significance. Further, the Board finds that the

application for a permit to demolish these structures will not voluntarily

consent to the retention of these buildings.

Alteration (Window Replacement)

Submitted by Heather Davies

a) The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation state that

deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced.

Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive

feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and

other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of

missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or

pictorial evidence.

b) Staff notes that the Board may request a site visit to verify the condition of

the existing windows.

c) Question the appropriateness of the proposed window material. Staff notes

6 vinyl windows are proposed. Vinyl has not been an approved material

within the Historic District. Revise proposed vinyl windows to wood or

aluminum-clad wood windows to be more compatible within the historic

district.

d) The Secretary of Interior Standards state “the historic character of a

property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic

materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property

shall be avoided.” Question how the window header will be constructed

for proposed window replacements 7,8, and 9.

204 Sunset Drive

Alteration (Front Porch, Siding and Stone Application, Windows, Roof)

Submitted by Brandon Gembus

a) Section III-1(g)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards states exposed

foundations and tie courses shall be of a consistent material on all

elevations. Question the proposed stone foundational material proposed

around the garage wing and how it relates to the main mass.

b) Question how proposed stone material will be applied to the existing

chimney.

c) Section IV-4 (g)(1) of the Architectural Design Standards states that roofs

on projections should match the roof material of the building (unless both

roofs are flat) and to the extent possible, shall be same kind of roof.

Natural finish metals such as copper, terne coated steel, or lead may be

substituted for any roofing material. Staff notes that a shed roof is

proposed.

150 Aurora Street (Historic District)

Addition (Office Space & Dormers)

Submitted by Eric Kuczek, Sojourn Architects

a) The National Park Service Preservation Brief #14 for additions states new

additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not

destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work

shall be differentiated from the old. Question impact of proposed 2nd story

addition on the historic mass and the removal of historic materials.

Additionally, question the removal of a portion of the rear roofline to

accommodate the proposed addition.

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 proposed rear gable and

dormer addition should be lower in height than the main mass. Revise rear

elevation to better meet this requirement.

c) The Secretary of Interior Standards state “Distinctive features, finishes,

and construction techniques or examples of craftmanship that characterize

a property shall be preserved”. Question the removal of the first story

window on the left side elevation.

d) Question appropriateness of proposed circular special window on rear

elevation.

Addition (Bedroom, Great Room & Mud Room)

building shall have a typical window used for most windows. Question the

proposed casement windows proposed on the left side elevation.

Alteration (ADA Lift)

Submitted by Jarlath Caldwell

a) Staff notes this proposal was previously presented to the Board as a

discussion item at the February 25, 2026, AHBR meeting, at which time

staff informed the Board that a formal application would be submitted at a

later date.

b) Staff notes the city has since coordinated with GPD Group regarding the

attached drawings and with Lift Up, the manufacture of the proposed lift

system.

c) Staff notes the following:

a. The proposed lift style was chosen to be less impactful and

replicate stairs when not operational.

b. The lift would be painted white. The proposed color was field

color-matched to the existing structure to match. The

manufacturer further recommended that the treads remain

unpainted with a wood finish, while the railings were also color

matched to the existing gazebo.

c. Note interior railing details

d. The proposed lift location off the existing southeast corner of

the gazebo was chosen to be less obtrusive when compared to

other elevations.

e. Desire of the city to incorporate ADA accessibility into the

public gazebo.

New House (Single-Family Dwelling, Detached Garage, Accessory Structure,

& Retaining Wall)

Submitted by Brendan Boatwright

a) Section IV-4 (g)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards state that

projections which extend out from the mass to which they are attached

more than five feet will be treated as wings, except for open porches, and

single story additions off the rear of multi-story dwellings. If the roof line

of the addition intersects the roof line of the existing dwelling, then the

addition shall be classified as a wing. This guideline should not be

construed to mean a masonry pier or continuous wall foundation is

required upon the enclosure of an existing deck or porch. Staff notes that

the proposed front elevation projection would extend in front of the main

body by approximately 7 ft. Revise elevations to meet this requirement.

b) Section III-1(g)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards states exposed

foundations and tie courses shall be of a consistent material on all

elevations. Revise elevations to depict a more consistently applied exposed

foundation on all elevations.

c) 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. Question the proposed flat roof, as the main mass has a

gable roof.

d) Submit spec sheets for all proposed exterior materials.
