4 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2023-059471 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 804 WALLER STREET PROPOSAL Construct an addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Remove rear porch. Remove and relocate existing windows at the rear of the house. 2) Construct a two-story addition with a deck on the north side of the existing building. The addition is clad in horizontal wood siding with a metal roof to match the existing house. The addition is constructed at the rear of the building, with the two-story portion connected with a one-story hyphen. The proposed roofline is cross-gabled, and the proposed fenestration includes fixed undivided windows at regular intervals. One-story cottage with a side-gabled roof and gabled covered porch, horizontal wood siding, and a metal roof. The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.3. Additions to Contributing Buildings New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. The proposed addition appears appropriately designed and differentiated. It reflects the massing and materials of the historic building but is set apart by modern fenestration and a one-story hyphen. If designing an addition in a contemporary style, reflect the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building; if designing an addition in a style that reflects the style of the historic building, differentiate the scale, massing, and/or materials, at least slightly. The proposed addition is appropriately differentiated. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The proposed addition appears subordinate; though it is two stories, its substantial setback reduces its visual impact. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. Set back a new ground-level addition a minimum of 15 feet measured from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The proposed addition is appropriately set back and does not remove or obscure historic elements on the front or sides of the building. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 4 – 2
