The siding will be fiber cement shake siding to match the existing house. The application includes two design options. On the rear elevation, both options feature a 6/6 double-hung window with trim on the left bay and a central full-lite door with a 5'-8" wide pressure-treated wood deck recessed under a shed roof and supported by two 6" square posts. One proposal contains a projecting 28" wide by 36" tall "garden window unit" in the right bay, and the other proposal does not include the window.

Applicable Guidelines
Fairmont Park Neighborhood Conservation District Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 26, 2002.
See Guidelines- A. New Development and Additions
- 1. The design of additions and accessory buildings should be consistent with the character of the main structure.
- 4. The recommended location for additions is to the rear or side of existing buildings. Additions to the front of buildings are not encouraged, because they obscure the original architectural designs.
- 8. If additions are to be made to the existing building they should be located at least five feet behind the front facade of the existing building.
- B. Building and Roof Form
- 2. A matrix of the primary architectural designs and their features found in the Fairmont-Emoriland neighborhood is shown on page 6 of this report. New designs should interpret one of these design types, with features drawn from the matrix and appropriate to that style.
- C. Materials
- 2. If an addition is made to an existing house, the wall cladding materials should duplicate those on the existing house, or as shown on the matrix on page 00.
