PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new building is two and one-half stories in height. It has a compound roofline with shed and side-gabled elements. It is clad in vertical wood siding, with a wood screen hiding the front-facing carport. Fenestration includes sliding glass doors and windows, fixed undivided windows, and divided casements. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is set back appropriately from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the primary street. The front-facing carport, while screened, is not appropriately oriented. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is much larger in scale and height than surrounding contributing buildings, though its stepped massing may alleviate the effect. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions do not appear to reflect the surrounding district. 5. Design and style The proposed building is consistent in design and style, though it does not appear to reflect the contributing buildings in the district. 6. Roofs The proposed compound roof is both taller and more complex than the surrounding contributing buildings. 7. Exterior walls The proposed vertical siding is somewhat appropriate, though it may exacerbate the building’s verticality. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is somewhat compatible. 9. Porches The proposed front porch is somewhat compatible. 10. Chimneys Plans specify a boxed chimney. 11. Attached garages and carports See 2. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on plans. LOCATION MAP 15 – 2
