Staff Comments
Queen Anne, c.1900One-and-one-half-story frame residence with a hipped roof clad in asphalt shingles, an exterior of aluminum siding, and a continuous foundation. Two gable-roof dormers are evenly spaced on the front roof slope. Centrally-located, front-gable roof portico.
1. 1800 Jefferson Ave is a contributing resource to the Park City National Register Historic District and the local overlay.
2. All work will be completed on secondary elevations. The secondary door to be moved is located on the rear elevation and will not be visible from the right-of-way.
3. The windows proposed to be replaced are not original to the house. The original Edgewood-Park City design guidelines recommend that replacement windows be "the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin style and exterior depth, width and profile," but do not specifically mention material. The revised but not yet adopted guidelines note that alternative materials may be considered, as long as they match the overall size, muntin profile and size, and style of the original windows. Based on these design guidelines, the proposed aluminum-clad wood material is appropriate.
4. On the east elevation, the windows are proposed to be reduced in length by 20" to accommodate kitchen fixtures below. Design guidelines typically discourage modifying the size of original windows, but the HZC has approved size modifications on a case-by-case basis. The windows proposed to be shortened will be somewhat visible from the right-of-way. They will not be removed entirely, and similarly-placed side elevation windows on adjacent houses are shorter than those on the façade. The Commission should discuss reducing the size of windows on the east elevation.
