Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Cyrus Reed Friday, September 25, 2020 10:31 AM PAZ Preservation Historical Commission Agenda Item B.1 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Historical Commission, My name is Cyrus Reed and my wife, Rosa María López Reed, live at 4205 Avenue F with our children and dogs. We have lived here for more than 25 years. Our home is on the consent agenda for Item B.1, in order to replace our existing 25‐year‐old leaking roof with a modern, energy efficient seamless metal roof. Because the item is on the consent agenda, I plan to listen and obviously support its approval. To the extent any commissioner has questions, I am available, but simply want to be registered as for approval of the certificate to move forward on getting a new roof! Thanks and appreciate the service of the Commissioners and staff. As a member of an advisory board myself (Electric Utility Commission) I appreciate the hard work. So please approve the following: 1. HR-2020-122347 – Offered for consent approval 4205 Avenue F (Hyde Park Historic District) Council District 9 Proposal: Replace an asphalt shingle roof with standing seam metal.

While the second review was an improvement, the OWANA Zoning Committee opposes the second story rear addition for the following reasons. 1. New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale and massing. (Smoot/Terrace Park design standard requirement) The historic homes in the Smoot/Terrace Park LHD are one or two story homes. Because the basement exemption was given at a little over 1% compliance Unit 1 at 602 Highland does not have to call the walkout basement which is largely open to the south and west the first floor. So in fairness the second story rear addition will really be a third story addition. Side Note: Since the basement exemption only complies at a little over 1%, the Zoning Committee found it important to take a close look. The walk out basement addition has been allowed 1345 SF which we are not questioning but it is 1007 SF more than the allowable FAR SF without the exemption. The second story rear Crow’s Nest addition will be another 338 SF over the allowable FAR limit and would be considered a third story addition without the basement exemption. 2. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. (Smoot/Terrace Park design standard requirement) The two perspectives shown at the reviews attempt to indicate the addition will not overpower the original contributing home. Highland Avenue is sloping so the addition may stand out more at different perspectives. The rear addition as well as the spiral staircase will certainly be overpowering to the adjacent neighbor to the north. At …
