Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the rear demolition and approximately 35' addition to the rear.Applicant Request
Additions; Roofing; Other: Demolition- Applicant is requesting after-the-fact approval of demolition of 19'-7" of the house to the rear. Existing COA issued for the project (reviewed by the HZC in April 2019, COA issued 4/18/2019) refers only to the 16'-1" addition to the house's rear; however, the 19'-7" portion demolished will also be reconstructed. Therefore, the new construction will be a 35'-8" addition instead of 16' as reviewed in April.
- Revised per 8/15/2019 HZC meeting:
- Rearmost addition (16' section) to be constructed to match plans and elevation drawings approved under April 2019 COA. Demolished 19'-7" section to be reconstructed in-kind with same height, same roofline, and same overall look as existing. Applicant is to install two windows of matching sizes on the west wall, on rooms labeled "bathroom 1" and "bathroom 2" on the floor plans submitted as part of the August 2019 application package (floor plan labeled "1614 Forest Av 4BR/2BA House"). The portion of the west wall which is currently shown as 2.9' away from the property line to be reconstructed at minimum of 3' away from the property line, which will allow for the installation of the two windows.
