Proposed new secondary structure (garage). The garage measures 24' by 24' and is proposed for the front left (northeast) corner of the property. The site plan does not include setbacks. The garage is proposed to be connected to the rear left side of the main house with a gable-roof, covered walkway.

The garage features a 6/12 gable roof clad in architectural shingles, an exterior of wood lap siding (shown on drawings as plywood board-and-batten siding), and rectangular fiberglass windows (shown on drawings as two-light sliding windows, described on specs as double-hung, 3/1). The garage door is shown as typical multi-panel door but specs describe a "Rosemont carriage-style" steel door.

Scope of work also includes the installation of new fiberglass windows on the basement level of the primary structure, to include one awning window, three rectangular three-light windows, and one 3/1 double-hung window. The application does not include information on where new windows will be installed.

1. 128 W. Glenwood Ave is a contributing resource to the Old North Knoxville National Register Historic District and local overlay.

2. The garage is proposed to be located adjacent to the house, towards the front of the property. The garage will be accessed from an existing curb cut which currently leads to gravel front-yard parking. The property also features an operable alley, which could provide access to the rear. The design guidelines note that garages shall be located to the rear of the primary building on the lot. The proposed placement does not meet the design guidelines.

3. The guidelines note that new outbuildings "may only use materials and design characteristics selected from the following list," which is referenced in the guidelines. The outbuilding includes a shallow (6/12) roof pitch, instead of the 12/12 recommended in the guidelines. There are discrepancies between the submitted drawings and the "materials list" submitted to HZC. The materials list notes wood lap siding, fiberglass windows and doors, and a steel carriage-style door but those are not reflected on the drawings.

4. The application lacks sufficient information on the windows to be installed on the house's basement level. The proposed windows are compatible in design with the original house. Fiberglass windows would not be appropriate within the guidelines as replacement windows for original wood windows; however, new fiberglass windows may be appropriate for new windows on minimally visible elevations, particularly at grade, where moisture intrusion at ground/basement level may affect wood window materials.
