Level II: Fourth And Gill H-1

Approved With Conditions
Recommendation
If the Fourth and Gill Neighborhood agrees to permit the use of the faux-grained finish for FCB in the Fourth and Gill H-1, staff's opinion is that it should be limited to NEW structures that are ACCESSORY only. If the neighborhood desires to maintain and uphold the 6-year precedent for SMOOTH-finished FCB, then the faux grain on the garage at 1019 Eleanor should be mitigated by repainting with a third coat or until the grain is less pronounced, or by replacement with smooth finish fiber cement board as originally approved.UPDATE FOR SEPT. 20, 2018 MEETING: HZC and applicant agreed to postpone vote until the Sept. 20 meeting in order for the applicant to provide an on-site sample with an opportunity for the HzC members and neighborhood board members to observe as a potential mitigation.
Applicant Request
Siding; Other: use of alternative material- Request to install faux-grained fiber cement board siding on newly constructed detached garage rather than smooth-finish fiber cement board.
