136 Hudson Street (Historic District)
Addition (1763sqft bedroom, laundry, family room & screen porch)
Submitted by Fred Margulies, Architect
a) Staff notes the scope of work includes adding in a front porch roof,
changing existing two garage doors to one double garage door, window
removal and replacement on the existing elevation and an addition that
will include a flat roof.
b) Staff notes conflicts in roof design, window design, and garage materials
when reviewing the following Secretary of Interior Preservation Briefs for
additions to historic buildings:
-
The new work shall be compatible with the architectural
features to protect the integrity of the property and its
environment.
-
-
-
A new addition must retain the essential form and integrity of
the historic property.
The new works should differentiate from the historic mass, bit
differences should be subtle.
A new addition should protect those visual qualities that make
the building eligible for listing on the National Register of
Historic Places.
-
-
New work should be harmonious with the old in scale,
proportions, materials, and color.
Materials need not be the same as the historic building, but
they should be harmonious; they should not be so different that
they stand out or distract from the historic building.
c) Staff notes the current design proposal would not meet the design
standards and the Secretary of Interior Standards. Suggest a re-design that
would be more compatible with these standards.

146 Hudson Street (Historic District)
Addition (161sqft Sunroom)
Submitted by Nathanael Dunn, Architect
a) Applicant is proposing to convert a three seasons room to a conditioned
sunroom.
b) Staff notes the home was built in 1991. The Architectural Design
Standards state because the house is not greater than 50 years old, the
house would not be contributing to the Historic District and would be
reviewed according to the type standards rather than the Secretary of
Interior Standards.
c) Architectural Design Standards state new freestanding structures and
non-historic properties: The use of substitute materials is acceptable
provided they are compatible in proportion, size, style, composition,
design, color, and texture of historic materials. Staff notes the applicant is
proposing aluminum clad wood (Pella Lifestyle Series) windows that will
match the style of the existing windows and the Pella Reserve series for the
proposed door.
