Site Info

1. 1622 Jefferson Avenue is a contributing resource to the Park City National Register Historic District and the local overlay.

2. Removal of the existing deck and construction of a new wood deck meets the design guidelines. Balusters should be set into the top and bottom rails.

3. The addition is located on the rear of the building, smaller in height and massing than the primary house, and will not be visible from the street. No character-defining features will be removed or altered for construction of the addition.

4. The proposed addition is differentiated from the primary house via roof location, roof pitch, and a small recession in the right side connection.

5. The proposed window and roofing materials are compatible with the primary house and meet the design guidelines. Wood detailing underneath the windows and in the gable field relate to the primary house and contribute visual interest.
