Property Notes / Work to be Completed

- Proposed rear dormer addition. Property is a corner lot and addition is visible from Chickamauga Ave and Felts Street. Existing dormer is small, low-pitch, shed-roof dormer with a small two-light window. To accommodate additional interior space, applicant proposes to remove the shed-roof dormer and add a gable-roof dormer to reflect the general proportions and design of the gable-roof dormer on the façade.
- Proposed dormer will feature a 6.75/12 pitch roof with fascia and eave overhangs to reflect details on the main house. Dormer will measure 124" wide and 109" tall (base of dormer to roof peak). The roof peak will be set 346.5" from the right side of the primary roof gable. The dormer will feature an asphalt shingle-clad roof to match the house, and be clad in cedar shake siding. The dormer has a small two-light rectangular window.

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 along the block.
  - - The roof line and roofing materials should complement the original house
