Alteration & Addition (Windows, Doors, & Porch & Dormer Addition)

Submitted by Bridget Tipton

a) Staff notes the scope of work includes a front porch addition to match the

porch in the 1937 renovation, enclose the back porch to convert it to a four

seasons room, add transom windows in the great room and enclosed

porch, remove the bay window that was added in the 1960’s, remove two

exterior doors and replace them with windows to match existing, and add a

dormer on the south elevation.

b) The Architectural Design Standards state exposed foundation and tie

courses shall be of a consistent material. Question if there will be exposed

foundation on the 4 seasons room and if it will match the existing.

c) Staff notes existing details such as frieze boards and trim boards are not

depicted in the drawings. Revise elevations to include these details and

verify if the four seasons room would include these details.

d) Submit product specification sheets for siding, roof, windows and doors.

Verify the proposed porch will be wood.

362 Londonairy Circle

Addition (Sunroom, 272sqft)

Submitted by Zach Potts

a) Staff notes the existing deck will be replaced with the proposed sunroom

addition.

b) The Architectural Design Standards state details in the wings should be

the same or subordinate to those in the main body.

c) The Architectural Design Standards state exposed foundations and tie

courses shall be of a consistent material on all elevations. The

Architectural Design Standards further state additions should be designed

to be compatible with the main structure by incorporating materials and a

foundation to match. The majority of the house has an exposed brick

foundation. Since the addition is proposed to have a substantial amount of

exposed foundation, suggest matching the exposed brick foundation rather

than the concrete block.

d) Suggest wrapped 6”x6” deck posts rather than the 4”x4” posts.

1101 Barlow Road (Ellsworth Meadows Golf Course) [Informal Review]

New Construction (Clubhouse)

Submitted by David Urbansky

a) Staff notes the proposal includes construction of a new clubhouse for the

City owned and operated Ellsworth Meadows Golf Club

b) Work would include removal of the existing pavilion on the northwest

portion of the existing parking lot.

c) The Architectural Design Standards state the following:

The main body must be the largest visible mass

Wings may not be larger or taller than the main body of the

structure, but they may be the same height.

The front face of the main body must sit forward at least 18” from the

face of the wings.

Staff notes the design conflicts with the above standards as the main body

is the smaller mass and is set back from a large wing. Question if one

simple mass design could be considered with a large cross gable entryway.

d) The Architectural Design Standards state large expanses of blank wall are

to be avoided. Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of

approximately every 12 feet. Staff notes additional fenestration would be

required, especially on the south elevation.

e) Question if roof pitches could be consistent around all elevations.
