Level II: Addition

Denied

Recommendation

Staff recommends denial without prejudice of the proposed second-story addition due to its not meeting design guidelines; alternately, the Design Review Board could choose to postpone the application to allow the applicant to submit a revised proposal for an addition which more clearly meets the design guidelines.

Property Notes / Work to be Completed

- Second-story addition to a one/1.5-story Craftsman bungalow. Applicant proposes to remove the upper portion of the main roof, and install a side-gable second-story addition with a 4' stem wall visible from the exterior, including three new rectangular windows on the façade. The addition will be clad in fiber cement shake siding with a dimensional shingle roof.

Applicable Guidelines

Heart of Knoxville Infill Housing Design Guidelines

- 9. Additions
  - - In making an addition, exterior covering and roof materials, doors and windows should be selected that are like those original to the house.
  - - If replacement is necessary, new windows and doors should be in keeping with the style and openings of the original design.
  - - Additions should be made to the rear or side of the house. Taller additions should be made to the rear of the house to keep the original scale of the front façade consistent with other houses on the block.
  - - The roofline and roofing materials should complement the original house.
