historical district, that he is unsure of the window type(s) on the house, that the existing

Mr. Sugar introduced the application by stating stonework was observed being applied to the

house without a permit, that the stonework partially terminates at an inside corner, that

differing sidings are typical in the neighborhood, and that staff recommends approval but not

termination at an inside corner.

Mr. Steve Reed, contractor, stated the homeowners would agree to limit the stonework to the

area around the front door, and that the stone will have a mixture of colors.

The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed approval since this work is typical of the

neighborhood.

Mr. Workley made a motion to approve, seconded by Ms. Stredinski, noting the

neighborhood vernacular matching the detail from the left outside corner to the right

inside corner. The motion was approved by the following vote:

Mr. Sugar introduced the application by describing the project, displaying the site, noting the

height of the garage is lower than the main mass, and reviewing the staff comments.

Mr. Darren Hopkins, representing the owners, noted the garage will be 15-feet from the

property line, described the siding and trim, described which architectural elements of the new

structure were in common with the existing structure, noted the size of the building and porch,

stated the soffit returns are flat like many others in the neighborhood, and that an 8 / 12

pitched roof will be common to the existing house and new structure,

The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed: The possibility of windows on the left elevation -

which is next to the woods and will not be seen, and are not planned because of budgeting, the

possibility of faux windows, that the 5-foot height of the wall in question makes larger

windows more difficult and more expensive, that four different size windows are proposed

and the board would like to see more consistency in window size, that the roof material on the

garage will match the existing house roof materials, the reasons for the various size windows

was explained, that a slider door is proposed in order to have a screen door, that the windows

and slider on the front are in the shadow of the overhang and will not be easily seen, that the

lots to the west and north will not be developed, and that the heights of the existing garage

and proposed structure be documented on the plans.

Mr. Workley made a motion, seconded by Mr. Ray, to approve the application with the

addition of a balanced window on the rear elevation, and that the height of the proposed

garage and existing house be documented on the plans. The motion was approved by the

Mr. Sugar introduced the application by describing and displaying the proposed project, and

reviewing the staff comments and revised elevations.

Mr. Tyler Rickenbacher, Hartman Carpentry and Construction, and Ms. Valarie Hooper,

homeowner, stated the fenestration on the Nickelson Road side is not desired by the owners

because of security issues, that no additional concrete will be added, that existing siding -

which is removed for the project - will be reused, that differing foundation materials exist on

the structure, how the foundation transition will be made, that the proposed foundation will

allow even sides and entry into the garage without building a ramp, and that the wall without

fenestration is between 12 and 14 feet,

The Board, applicant, and staff discussed: The look of the house without the required

fenestration, that large evergreen trees block the view of the garage from the street, that the

Board has allowed the 12-foot fenestration rule to be stretched in the past, and that the

foundation transition to brick should be at the porch instead of the proposed location,

Mr. Workley made a motion, seconded by Ms. Sredinski, to approve the application

with the conditions that the foundation be a consistent height, and the brick joint be at

the edge of the structure between the sided component and the infill shed / porch area.

Mr. Sugar introduced the application by displaying and describing the proposed project and

reviewing the staff comments.

Mr. Tony Lunardi, LDA Builders Inc., and Mr. Chuck Hummel, responded to the staff

comments by questioning what constitutes the front mass of the house, and distributing

additional elevations to the Board.

The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed the unusual design of the house and roof, that the

front door is attached to the main mass, the possibility of moving the front wall forward which

will reduce the size of the porch, the orientation of the house in relation to the street and the

possibility of rotating the house counterclockwise, the difficulties rotating the house creates,

how the proposed house differs from the house on sub lot #3, and that the Board feels enough

variation exists between the houses if the colors are not matched.

The Board and applicant discussed how the front projection issue can be solved and allowed

staff to administratively this issue.

Mr. Workley made a motion, seconded by Ms. Sredinski, to approve the application

with the following conditions: 1) A modification to the front porch to meet the 5-feet

projection rule - which may be administratively approved by staff. 2) That the

look-alike standard is met if the stone and the siding do not match the subject house. 3)

drawings were submitted, and reviewing the staff comments.

Mr. Tony Lunardi, LDA Construction, discussed: The hip roof on the front porch, how the

porch and mud room interact, the knee wall which must be consistently applied around the

house, the adjustment of the projection, that the roof over the garage door was made as

proposed so the entire door was covered and the possibility of extending it over the second

garage door or across the entire side.

The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed: The hip roof over the porch, alternatives to how

the stone is used, and the roof overlap of the garage door.

A motion was made by Mr. Ray, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, that this AHBR

Application be approved as amended by removing the stone along the front porch. The
