830 Desire St.

Description: Final detail review of previously approved renovation and exterior changes including new contemporary fencing at a Contributing rated, one-story, single-family residential building. 

Previous ARC & Commission Recommendations: 

09/04/24: The Commission voted to grant conceptual approval of Screen Option 1 (rectangular opening) with the final details to return for additional ARC review once further developed. 

08/20/24: The ARC voted to grant conceptual approval of Screen Option 1 (rectangular opening) with the final details to return for additional ARC review once further developed. The ARC also agreed that:

• Screen Option 1 (with rectangular opening) is preferred because it relates better to the existing historic building and because Option 2 appears to compete with the addition itself and would expose the smooth Hardie paneling behind.

  • • If the applicant wants to further investigate an alternative Option 2, they can consider installing an arched window above the door opening to correspond with the arched metal façade screen for the next review, however, Option 1 was preferred.

• The size and location of the existing first and third window at the left side should be retained, however, the windows can be replaced with appropriate new windows. Some additional new transom style windows can be added at this side, if desired.

• Additional details should be included for the next ARC review, such as information on façade screen construction, how the proposed screen meets the side elevation Hardie panels, and additional details on the proposed roof and gutter.
