11-E-24-HZ

Level II: Old North Knoxville H

Approved

Recommendation

Recognizing the current ONK design guidelines, the Commission should discuss the proposed replacement fiber cement lap siding in the context of the specific project, and gather neighborhood input related to future guideline updates. If approved, new exterior cladding should include appropriately sized cornerboards, window trim, and window sills.

Applicant Request

Additions; Siding

- Modification of previously-issued COA (3-E-24-HZ), related to the siding. Revised application proposes to use smooth, 4" exposure, fiber cement siding instead of using wood lap siding to replace deteriorated wood siding.

Applicable Guidelines

Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.

- E. Wood Wall Coverings
  - 1. Synthetic siding is inappropriate and is not allowed either as replacement siding on existing buildings or new siding in new construction.
  - 3. Replacement siding must duplicate the original. Trim and patterned shingles that must be replaced must also duplicate the original material.
  - 5. Wooden features shall be repaired by patching, piecing-in, or otherwise reinforcing the wood. Repair may also include limited replacement with matching or compatible substitute materials, when elements remain and can be copied.
  - 6. Wood features that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building shall not be removed.
  - 7. Replace only deteriorated wood. Reconstructing in order to achieve a uniform or "improved," "new" appearance is inappropriate because of the loss of good historic materials.
  - 8. An entire wooden feature that is too deteriorated to repair or is completely missing shall be replaced in kind. If features are replaced, the materials they are made from shall be compatible with the original in size, scale and material. Replacement parts should be based on historical, pictorial and physical documentation.
