Proposed reconstruction of roofline and addition of dormers, along with an exterior rehabilitation.

The existing hipped roof has a 6.5/12 pitch, measuring approximately 32'-5" to the mid-point of the roof slope, with hipped-roof dormers centered on the front and side roof slopes. The proposed roof pitch will be 8/12. Hipped-roof dormers (with 8/12 pitch on the front and rear, and 5/12 pitch on the sides) are proposed for the front, slide, and rear roof slopes. The dormers will be clad in fiber cement shake siding.

The project also includes the installation of new double-hung windows in existing fenestrations, repair and repointing to the existing brick masonry exterior, and new roof cladding. Several windows on the side and rear elevations (2 on the rear, 4 on the right, and 1 on the left) will be enclosed with masonry (or siding infill on the rear) to match the existing.

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL PER 7.18.2024 HZC: 1) all masonry repair and repointing follow NPS specifications; 2) final site plan to meet City Plans Review and Inspections and City Engineering standards, avoiding creating new front yard parking unless infeasible due to accessibility requirements.

H. Additions to Existing Buildings
1. Additions should be made to the rear or side of the building.
3. Transitional space shall be provided between the addition and the existing structure. This should include a courtyard or a connecting structure. The wall of the new connecting structure should not be continuous with thew all of the existing building, but have a minimum 4' by 6' indentation.
5. Windows or French doors and balconies shall provide 10% to 20% transparency on the sides of buildings.
9. Expansion to the front with a bay and/or a porch is acceptable.

A. Height, Scale, & Massing
2. Single-family detached infill housing should be proportional to other pre-1940 houses in terms of height and width.

B. Roofs
1. Select a roof pitch that is in keeping with other pre-1940 houses of the neighborhood, not being less than an 8/12 pitch.
2. Use variations in the form of the roof above the second story such as gables at different angles, hipped roofs, and dormers.
3. Use roofing materials that are in keeping with the historic development styles. Asphalt, shingle, tile, pressed metal, and slate were used.
4. Darker shades of shingles were historically used and should be selected in new construction.

D. In making additions to existing buildings, wall cladding should complement the original wall covering. Acceptable materials are clapboard, vinyl siding, cement fiber board, brick, and stucco.

E. Windows and Entrances
1. Window proportions and symmetry should be similar to the pre-1940 styles in the neighborhood.
2. Windows should be double hung, sash windows. Vinyl or metal-clad windows may be used in place of wood frame windows.
4. Double-hung sash windows are recommended for two- to three-story new construction.
6. The proportions of upper level windows should not exceed the proportion of the first level.
7. Upper level windows should be provided and aligned with doors.

F. Parking
1. In new building construction, the front yard space shall not be used for parking. Do not break up curbs or sidewalks to provide street access.
2. Provide parking access off the alley or off a side street.
4. In constructing residential parking, 8.5-foot stall widths and 24 foot wide lane widths may be used for 90 degree angled parking lots.
7. Surface parking area shall always be to the rear of the building.
