Level II: Old North Knoxville H-1

6-O-19-HZ

Approved As Modified

Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the 5-1/4" hardie plank under the condition that a smooth surface is selected to more closely mimic the original siding on the rest of the house. The Old North Knoxville Historic District Guidelines specifically state that synthetic siding is not appropriate for use, but in this case, staff finds it appropriate to preserve the appearance of the home and keep the dormer from a state of deterioration.

Applicant Request
Siding
    • Replacement of wood siding on the front dormer with hardie plank 5 1/4" siding to match the existing wood siding in dimension. The applicant has stated that the proposed dimensions of the hardie plank are the same as those of the original planks.

Old North Knoxville H-1
    • Style: Queen Anne Cottage (c. 1890)
      • One and one-half story frame with wood shingle wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables, asphalt shingle roof covering, and shed-roofed attic dormers. Partial cornice returns on front gable. One over one double hung windows. One story two-bay porch with aluminum replacement columns and balustrade. Brick foundation. Irregular plan.

Applicable Guidelines
Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.
    • WALL COVERINGS (P. 20)
    • 1. Synthetic siding is inappropriate and is not allowed either as replacement siding on existing buildings or new siding in new construction.
    • 3. Replacement siding must duplicate the original. Trim and patterned shingles that must be replaced must also duplicate the original material.
    • 7. Replace only deteriorated wood. Reconstructing in order to achieve a uniform or "improved", "new" appearance is inappropriate because of the loss of good historic materials.
    • 12. If artificial siding is present on any elevation of a building and must be removed in order to repair the building structurally, it can be replaced on the building if no more than 49% of any elevation's artificial siding is removed. If 50% of the artificial siding on any elevation is removed for repair, it cannot be replaced.
