Add a roof to the existing side porch. 1) Construct an addition to the front of the house. The gabled addition is clad in horizontal fiber cement siding and features 6:6 aluminum windows with divided lights. Gable ends feature vents and board-and-batten details to match the existing gable. 2) Construct a rear addition to match the existing house and front addition. The proposed addition is one story in height and contains 6:6 sash and multilight casement windows. Its gabled roof will match the pitch of the front addition. 3) Cover the existing side porch with a composition shingle roof. One-story Minimal Traditional house with cross-gabled plan, horizontal wood siding, and partial-width inset covered porch. The original wood windows were replaced in 2009 per permits. The house at 3300 Beverly Road was constructed in 1941 for Alfred C. Riba and his family. Riba worked as a schoolteacher before becoming a chemist and bacteriologist at the Health Department in 1942. Alfred and Mary Lou Riba lived at 3300 Beverly Road until his death in 1966.

The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed rear addition is sited appropriately, but the front addition does not meet the design standards. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed project appears appropriate in scale, massing, and height. 3. Design and style The proposed design and style is compatible with the existing historic building; however, it may not be adequately differentiated from the existing house. 4. Roofs The proposed project’s roof pitch, height, and materials appear appropriate. 5. Exterior walls Proposed cladding is compatible with the existing house and district, though gable-end detailing may impede appropriate differentiation from historic fabric. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The proposed aluminum divided-light windows are compatible with the house and district. 7. Porches and decks The proposed side-porch addition appears mostly compatible. 8. Chimneys The proposed project removes a historic-age chimney. C.7 – 2 Summary The project meets some applicable standards.
