180 W Streetsboro Street  
Commercial Sign (Wall Sign)  
Submitted by Mandi Wise  
a) Staff notes the existing sign plan for this plaza states that wall signs are to  
be constructed of carved wood or polyurethane resin, be rectangular in  
shape with a raised 1¼-inch perimeter border, incorporate raised  
lettering, a black boarder, and a relief-carved background. Revise design  
to better meet these requirements.  
b) Section V-4 (a)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states that the  
lettering within a sign panel should not exceed approximately 70 % of the  
height and length of the sign panel. Revise proposed wall sign to better  
meet this requirement.  
c) Section V-5(c)(3) states “Signs should have a matte finish, not have a  
glossy or reflective finish.” Verify a matte finish.

179 Elm Street (Historic District)  
Demolition (Single Family Dwelling)  
Submitted by Nate Bailey, Hara Architects  
a) Staff notes this application was heard at the June 8, 2026, AHBR meeting.  
b) A site visit took place on June 16, 2026.  
c) Staff notes the proposed scope of work is to demolish a 1952 home located  
within the Historic District in order to construct a new single-family  
dwelling on the property.  
d) Staff notes Elm Street was incorporated into both the local and national  
Historic Districts in 2022.  
e) Staff notes the boundary increase application included 179 Elm Street as a  
contributing building based on its age. The historic district period of  
significance extends to 1960. 179 Elm Street was categorized within a  
sub-period identified as 1940-1960. It is described follows: “The one-story  
Minimal Traditional Side-Gabled house with aluminum siding is  
asymmetrical in design. The 6/6 double hung windows are flanked with  
shutters. The attached Gable Front one car garage projects forward from  
the main façade.”  
f) The boundary increase application further states “The Boundary Increase  
exhibits the established architectural styles and types of residential  
buildings and expands the period of significance from 1940 to 1960  
exhibiting Colonial Revival, Cape Cod and Minimal Traditional styles with  
a strong predilection for Colonial Revival styles.

2710 Ravenna Street  
Demolition (Single-Family Dwelling & Detached Garage)  
Submitted by Fred Thaxton  
a) Staff notes the proposed scope of work is to demo the existing house and  
one detached garage.  
b) Staff notes the house was built in 1939, while the detached garage was  
built around 1970.  
c) Staff notes the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing residence  
and one detached garage, while keeping the remaining detached accessory  
structure on the property. A demolition permit for the existing residence  
would not be issued until a new house permit was approved.  
d) As the property 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 structures at 2710 Ravenna Street [(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.

Fence (4ft Aluminum & 4ft Wood)  
Submitted by Elbert Murcias  
a) Section III-1 (f)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards state fence  
heights and materials shall be compatible with their site location and

Alteration (Shake Siding Replacement)  
Submitted by Thomas Bellish  
a) The Secretary of Interior Standards 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. Staff notes Hardi Board is  
proposed as a replacement material for wood siding. Suggest a wood  
replacement based on the high visibility of the house on a corner lot.  
b) Staff suggests the Board utilize this meeting for questions for the applicant  
and to set a time for a site visit.  
c) Provide spec sheet for proposed siding material.

Accessory Structure (Shed)  
Submitted by Tyler Duffy  
a) Section III-1 (d)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards state that  
enclosed accessory buildings shall incorporate some elements similar to  
the main body, for example similar corner boards, window types, or  
materials. Question the proposed rear elevation transom window and how  
it relates to the main house.  
b) Section III-1 (d)(5) of the Architectural Design Standards state that all  
facades (including the rear) over twelve (12) feet long shall have at least  
one window or door opening. Fenestration placement on the accessory  
structure shall be proportional to the house. Suggest additional  
fenestration on rear elevation to better meet this requirement.

2580 Brunswick Ln  
Addition (Bedroom, Bathroom, & Office)  
Submitted by Kevin Koogle  
a) Section IV-4(a) of the Architectural Design Standards states the two story  
wing type has a main body and subordinate wings. Wings are smaller in  
size. Staff notes the proposed addition would be in line with the existing  
main mass. Suggest insetting the proposed addition at the right-side  
elevation to create a more prominent break in massing.  
b) Section III-1(g)(3) states “Exposed foundations and tie courses shall be of  
a consistent material on all elevations”. Verify proposed foundation for  
addition will match existing.  
c) Section III-1(g)(8) states “Large expanses of blank wall are to be avoided.  
Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of approximately every 12  
feet”. Suggest additional fenestration on the left elevation bump out to  
better meet this requirement.  
d) Section III-(g)(11) states “Replacement wall and roof materials should be  
blended across a facade (rather than small patch areas) to ensure  
compatibility with existing materials”. Verify any new proposed siding  
would be blended.  
e) Section IV-3(e)(4) states “The building shall have a typical window used  
for most windows”. Question the addition of transom windows on left  
elevation and how they relate to the double hung windows on the existing  
house.

43 Wellgate Dr  
Addition (Office Space, Garage, and Sauna)  
Submitted by Bridget Titpon  
a) Staff notes this application received informal AHBR review at the May 27,  
2026, AHBR meeting.  
b) Question proposed forward garage wing expansion. Section IV-4 (h)(1) of  
the Architectural Design Standards states that wings must be attached at  
the rear or side of the building and may not extend forward of the main  
body. However, staff notes that the existing garage is forward of the main  
mass.  
c) Section IV-4 of the Architectural Design Standards state that Additions  
should be designed to be compatible with the main structure by  
incorporating materials and a foundation to match. Verify proposed  
foundation material to match existing house.

6761 Pheasants Ridge  
Addition (Office, Bathroom & Recreation Room)  
Submitted by Bridget Tipton  
a) Section IV-4 of the Architectural Design Standards states that the front  
face of the main body must sit forward at least 18" from the front face of the  
wings”. Staff notes the existing wing sits forward of the main mass; however,  
the second story addition would increase the degree of nonconformity and  
would not meet the intent of the requirement for the wings to be subordinate to  
the main mass.

New House (Single-Family Dwelling)  
Submitted by Tony Lunardi, LDA Builders  
a) Revise submitted site plan to depict proposed impervious surface  
calculations.  
b) Section IV- 1(d)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards state that the  
materials used in any mass must 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 projection that would not be applied  
around the entire mass. Revise elevations to depict the proposed material  
ending on an inside corner.  
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 rear gable roofs, as the main  
mass has a hip roof.  
d) Section IV-4 of the Architectural Design Standards state that large  
expanses of blank wall are to be avoided. Fenestration placement should  
be at a maximum of approximately every 12 feet. Suggest revising the rear  
elevation to incorporate additional architectural detail to be applied in the  
proposed rear gables to better meet this requirement.  
e) Section IV-(f)(1) of the Architectural Design Standards states that details  
in the main body must be consistently applied throughout all sides of the  
main body. Revise elevations to depict a consistently applied grid pattern  
around the main mass.  
f) Revise elevations to depict a consistent foundational height/water table on  
the front elevation.  
g) Revise front elevation to depict consistent window trim.  
h) Submit product spec sheets for all proposed exterior materials.

1405 Hines Hill Road (Informal)  
Addition  
Submitted by Elizabeth Swearingen, Peninsula Architects  
a) Staff notes that the existing house was built in 1845; however, the structure  
is not classified as a Historic Landmark or part of the Historic District. Staff  
notes that project is not subject to review under the Secretary of the Interior  
Standards for Rehabilitation. The proposed project would instead be reviewed  
for compliance with the Architectural Design Standards type standards, part  
4. However, overall compatibility to the surrounding neighborhood is  
considered.
