Description: Demolition of Non-Contributing rated, shed additions and new construction of rear one-story side gabled addition at a Contributing rated, one-story, two-family residential building.
Previous ARC Recommendations:
06/20/23:
Option 2 for the rear addition was more successful in its approach, and the project should move in this direction.
The overall massing of the addition is too large and should be toned down.
Reducing the massing could be accomplished through exploring different roof options including but not limited to removing the parapet and creating a single pitch roof that runs front to back.
The right-side elevation addition massing is too tall.
Discussions with Zoning regarding the allowances for building at the property line should be had as soon as possible as findings could impact the design approach for that area of the addition.
