Recommendation
Recommendation from the December 18, 2014 HZC meeting:Staff believes the conditions requiring that each of the 3 units vary from each other, and that sufficient modern elements are incorporated into the design to distinguish the housing units from authentic Craftsman houses, have been met. Approval is recommended for the new construction. Approval to renovate existing house (rather then demolish it.)
Applicant Request
Additions; Other: demolition- Construct a grouping of four 1-story, side-gabled duplexes in the Craftsman style. Integral garages are located in the rear of the units. The proposed driveway has been relocated to the rear of the units at the request of the Concord neighborhood. The submitted concept drawing is for one of the four duplexes and upon conditional approval will use that theme to ? design the other three buildings? so that they will vary in appearance in order to reduce the appearance of a multi-family housing complex. Proposal to demolish the existing Craftsman-style house in order to have enough space to build four units.

Applicable Guidelines
Village of Concord Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knox County Commission on October 22, 2001.
See Guidelines- NEW CONSTRUCTION
- New buildings should be compatible with surrounding architecture, but their design should recognize
- that they will function as a new building and will be built with new materials. They should not be
- imitations of buildings of the past; rather, they should respond to the present time, the environment, and
- the use for which they are intended. . . The materials that cover its exterior surface largely determine the
- appearance of a building. Similar materials enhance continuity and character.
- A building should not be visually incompatible or destroy historic relationships within the neighborhood.
- At the same time, new construction should not imitate a historic style or period of architecture.
- SCALE AND MASSING
- The shapes of buildings in the Village of Concord are distinctive when compared to newer houses.
- They have a bulk or shape different from many new buildings. The size and proportions of new
- buildings should be consistent with historic or adjacent buildings in the neighborhood. Recessed or
- projecting porches, bays and other details should be incorporated in any new construction. New
- buildings should also be designed with a mixture of wall areas with door and window elements in the
- facade like those found on neighboring historic houses. . . .
- The horizontal alignment of building elements such as porches, roofs and windows is one of the most
- effective ways to create a sense of connection and unity among buildings located on a street. Roof forms
- should also be related to those found in the area. Mimicking the existing or traditional roof shapes, pitches
- and materials on new construction is one of the most effective ways to help new construction that is compatible
- with the existing buildings.
- HEIGHTS OF FOUNDATIONS AND STORIES
- Historic houses in the Village of Concord are not built on slab foundations. They are built on raised
- foundations, usually made of brick that has sometimes been stuccoed. New housesshould use brick
- or concrete block that has been parged or stuccoed to resemble a stuccoed brick foundation.
- The height of the foundation should match those on adjacent houses.The height of stories is another
- factor that can help a new building blend well with neighboring historic houses.
- Window placement should be on the same horizontal plane as neighboring houses, and the
- overall height of the house to the eaves and to the peak of the roof should be consistent.
- RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - RECOMMENDATIONS:
- 1. Maintain the facade lines of streetscapes. Never violate the existing setback pattern by placing new
- buildings in front of or behind the historic setback line, or at odd angles.
- 2. Relate the size and proportions of new structures to the scale of adjacent buildings.
- 3. Break up boxlike forms into smaller masses like historic buildings. New buildings should be
- designed with a mix of door and window elements in the facade mimicking nearby historic houses.
- 4.The placement of door and window openings should be imitated.
- 5. Relate the roof forms of the new buildings to those found in the area, duplicating existing roof
- shapes and pitches.
- 6. New buildings shall equal the average height of existing adjacent buildings.
- 7. New housing shall be built with raised foundations or designed to suggest that there is a raised
- foundation equal to the foundation height of adjacent buildings.
- 8. In new buildings, the height of roofs and eaves, stories, windows and doors shall mimic adjacent
- historic buildings.
- 9. The materials used for new buildings shall be consistent with existing historic building materials . . .
- 10. Front elevations shall have a strong sense of entry.
- 11. The styles and details of historic architecture should not be reproduced.
- 15. Garages and other outbuildings shall resemble outbuildings that have been historically constructed
- in the Village of Concord. Their size and construction shall use materials that correspond to the
- original primary buildings on the lot.
