Applicant Request
Additions- Construction of a two-story addition to the rear of the house. The proposed addition will be located above the current kitchen (existing one-story shed-roof addition) and will have a single hipped roof extended off the existing main section of the roof. This will require the removal of an existing rear-facing gabled roof that mirrors the gable on the front of the house. The roof addition will be 30' tall at its highest point (compared to 32' for the existing roof). On the right (northeast) side of the addition, it will be offset from the rear corner of the house 6" to 1' (HZC approved min. 1' offset). On the left (northwest) side of the addition, it will be offset 1' from the primary massing on the second story (per revised drawings submitted 6-23-19).
- Several existing windows on the rear elevation of the house and the existing one-story addition will be reused in the addition. All new windows will match the existing windows in size, material, and profile. Exterior siding will be wood that matches the existing house.

- L. Additions.
- 1. Locate exterior additions at the rear of or on an inconspicuous side of a historic building, limiting the size and scale in relationship to the historic building, and using appropriate proportions.

Additions shall be designed so they can be removed without destroying the form of the historic building.
