Description: Construction of a new 1,060 SF camelback addition at a Contributing rated one-story, two-family residential building, including construction of a new 184 SF side covered porch.

Previous ARC Recommendations: 

02/18/25: The ARC voted to defer the application for additional review. The ARC agreed that:

• The roof height of the left-side addition should be reduced so that it is below the current main building ridge, and so the addition appears more subordinate to the existing building.

• The proposed left-side addition appears too wide relative to the existing building to meet the HDLC Design Guidelines, particularly given how close the addition’s front elevation will be to the street. The width of the addition should be decreased to approximately 1 original bay width, rather than the 2 bays as shown, so the addition is more compatible with the existing building.

• The header height of the left-side addition porch window should be lowered to align with the header height of the adjacent door opening.

• The applicant should consider including box beams at the proposed new left and right-side porch additions.
