Level II: Addition

Approved

Recommendation

Staff recommends approval the work as submitted, with the condition that (at minimum) one window be added to the addition's right side elevation, to match size and design of existing windows.

Property Notes / Work to be Completed

- Rear addition on c.2002 house. Addition will project from the rear left (northwest) elevation of house, set approximately 5' from left side property line. Addition will extend 20' long, with a 7'-9" floor-to-ceiling height, resting on a 2' tall foundation. The existing gable roofline will be stepped down for the addition. The addition will feature an asphalt shingle roof, vinyl siding to match existing, one 6/6 vinyl double-hung window, and a parge-coated CMU foundation. One window is proposed for the left side elevation, with none on the right. An existing storage shed will be relocated for the new addition.

Applicable Guidelines

Heart of Knoxville Infill Housing Design Guidelines

- - New foundations should be about the same height as the original houses in the neighborhood.
  - - To respect the privacy of adjacent properties, consider the placement of side windows and doors.
  - - Attention should be paid to window placement and the ratio of solid (the wall) to void (the window and door openings).
  - - Clapboard-like materials (such as cement fiberboard) should be used in constructing new housing where painted wood siding was traditionally used.
  - - In making an addition, exterior covering and roof materials, doors and windows should be selected that are like those original to the house.
  - - Additions should be made to the rear or side of the house.
  - - The roofline and roofing materials should complement the original house.
