Level II: Fourth And Gill H-1
7-M-17-HZ
Approved With Conditions
Recommendation
Based on the above findings and the Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, staff recommends approval with the condition that 1) corner trim boards similar to those on the main house be added; and 2) that the location of the garage be offset by at least 2 feet to one side of the rear yard. Final approval of the plans is contingent on Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) approval for the height and lot coverage increase. Should the BZA deny the height variance to increase to18'-4" to the average roof pitch, then the lower height of 15' to the average roof pitch (which is required by the underlying R1-A zoning) is also recommended for approval by the HZC.Applicant Request
Accessory structure- Construct a 25-foot x 25-foot two-car frame garage in the the rear yard, facing the alley. The hipped-roof structure, at an overall height of ~27' high and
- ~18'-4" to the average roof slope, is to have a pitch to match that on the main house, as well as cross gables on the east and north elevations. A gabled dormer will be featured on the west elevation. The structure is proposed to be sided in wood clapboard or smooth fiber cement board, and have a roll-up metal garage door that appears to be two doors facing the alley that hase a carriage-style appearance and hardware. The second level will have 1/1 wooden double-hung windows, and the front gable and north and south elevations will feature 3x3 square wood fixed or casement windows. The three service doors (1 single and 1 pair), facing the house, will be of smooth, painted fiberglass with solid or glass half-lite panels above and recessed panels below. The eave, cornice, soffit, and corner trimwork design is to be similar to that on the main house.

Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
See Guidelines- OUTBUILDINGS
- Typical outbuildings would have included carriage houses or servants' quarters, often taller than one story and built with steeply pitched gable roofs, or combined gable and shed roofs, with weatherboard or board and batten wall covering. Newer houses in the district might have had garages, with the same roof shapes with wall coverings that matched the primary building on the lot. It is acceptable to construct new outbuildings to the rear of lots on Fourth and Gill, with designs that respect the original designs.
- Recommendations:
- 1. Buildings resembling servants' quarters or carriage houses, work buildings, or simple one-story garages are appropriate to be constructed in the Fourth and Gill Historic District. Their size and construction materials should be compatible with the original primary building on the lot.
