Accessory structure

- Construction of a new secondary structure (poolhouse) and accompanying patio. Poolhouse will be placed behind the primary residence on the property, and 18' from the closest interior property line. Overall, the structure will be 22' wide by 60' long, including a 20' wide by 16' long covered porch on the south elevation, and a 12' wide and 10' long enclosed massing on the north elevation. The covered porch features a second-story deck with square wood posts and a decorative balustrade.
- A new paved patio will connect the poolhouse's east elevation with the pool. Portions of the patio will be enclosed with a decorative balustrade to match the deck.
- The poolhouse features a steeply pitched (12/12) hipped roof clad in slate shingles, a complex roofline with hipped dormers on the south, east, and west roof slopes, and a centrally located cupola. The dormers, cupola, and north elevation massing feature standing seam metal roofs. Eave overhangs on the primary roof massing feature decorative curved wood brackets. The poolhouse will rest on a foundation clad in brick, and feature decorative shingle siding to reflect the primary house.
- A brick masonry chimney will be located along the east elevation of the covered porch.
- Window sizes and profiles vary but all windows are aluminum clad, divided lights, including multi-light casements and fixed windows. Doors are full-light topped by built-in, three-light transoms.
