Accessory structure; Additions- Construct 1-story brick-clad garage to rear of house. Connect garage to existing house with 1-story, approximately 23-foot long addition, which will project out approximately 12 feet from the rear east side of the house. Construct a bay three-sided bay window on the rear of the house clad with fiber cement board. A former garage was demolished on the site for the proposed garage. The new garage will be constructed on the same slab, but will have a footprint that is approximately 3.5 feet deeper and 2 feet longer. The garage and addition will have materials to match those of the former garage and the existing house such as shutters, hipped roof, asphalt roof shingles, brick foundation, double-hung windows, and gutters. The garage and addition will, however, be clad in fiber cement board siding.

Applicable Guidelines
Scenic Drive NC-1 Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on September 26, 2006.
See Guidelines- 2. In constructing new buildings, the materials to
- be used should be appropriate for the style of
- house that is being constructed. The styles are
- described in the Properties Inventory, and are
- summarized in these design guidelines.
- 4. The maximum lot coverage for the footprint
- of a house and accessory buildings shall not
- exceed 30% of the lot. Pavement in front and/or
- side yards visible from public streets shall be
- minimized, so that the landscaping and plantings
- convey the impression of a residential setting.
- The desirable maximum lot coverage for all
- impermeable surfaces including the primary
- structure, accessory buildings, driveway, pool,
- patio, tennis court and other features on the lot
- is 50% of the lot. Impermeable surfaces on lots
- should not exceed 65%.
- 5. Side and rear setbacks . . of contributing primary
- buildings combinedwith their new additions, shall respect
- the lot placement of existing historic buildings. In no
- case shall the side yards be less than 8 feet for a
- single story or 12 feet for a multi-story building,
- with a combined side yard measurement for
- both sides of the building of not less than twenty
- feet.
- 6. New additions and constructions shall conform
- to the prevailing widths and heights of typical
- facades of adjacent houses. The footprint of
- new additions and constructions should be in
- character and proportion with contributing
- neighboring houses, even if originally
- platted lots have been combined into larger
- lots. Detached accessory buildings shall be
- proportional to the house in height and size.
- 7. Carports and garage doors should not face
- the street except in cases where there is no
- reasonable alternative. If they do face the
- street, garage entrances should be designed
- to be consistent with the home's architectural
- features.
- 8. The design of detached garages and carports
- and the materials of which they are constructed
- should be consistent with the character of the
- main structure.
- 9. The recommended location for additions
- is to the rear or side of existing buildings.
- If additions are to be made to the side elevations
- of existing buildings, they should be located
- at least five feet behind the front facade of the
- existing building.
- 10. Detached accessory buildings, including
- carports and detached garages, should be
- located at least fifteen feet to the rear of the
- front facade line and no nearer than five feet to
- a side or rear lot line. In size, they should not
- exceed the building footprint of the principal
- building and should be consistent in scale with
- the primary building on the lot.
- 11. The design of additions, accessory buildings,
- including carports, and modifications, should
- be consistent with the character of the main
- structure.
- 12. If an addition or modification is made to an
- existing house, the wall cladding material
- should match or complement those on the
- existing house. Traditional combinations such
- as wood clapboard or wood shingle siding
- additions on brick or stone primary structures
- are acceptable if matching materials cannot be
- secured. The roofing material for additions and
- modifi cations should match the existing roofing
- material.
- 13. All construction plans shall assess and take
- into account the impact of drainage on both the
- subject property and neighboring properties.
