1240 Seventh St.

Description: New construction of 5,200 SF two-story, single-family residential building on a vacant lot.

Previous ARC Recommendations:

12/20/2022: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review. The ARC also agreed that:

• The proposed building type, form and massing appear appropriate and contextual with the surrounding area; however, these details must relate in scale and proportion to the existing surrounding historic context. The applicant must investigate and verify existing adjacent building dimensions to update and correct any discrepancies or inaccuracies in the context drawing to avoid the issues experienced at 1464 Camp Street.

• The first-floor floor-to-ceiling height could potentially be increased slightly to better relate to the adjacent one-story structure once its existing dimensions are verified.

• Additional building details should be provided for the next review including a complete section through the porch and entablature.

• The applicant should coordinate with the Garden District Association for input on the proposed new construction in advance of the next meeting.
