1100 Elysian Fields Ave.

Description: New construction of a 350 SF one-story accessory trash storage structure at the Frenchmen Street side parking lot of a Non-Contributing rated, one-story, commercial building.

Previous ARC Recommendations: 

August 15, 2023: The ARC voted to defer the application for additional review.  The ARC agreed that:

• The proposed metal deck roofing material is atypical and may be too industrial to be appropriate for use in the district. The ARC also noted the detail where the roof meets the wall is awkward and appears to lack proper flashing.

• The ARC requested the applicant reconsider the location of the accessory structure on the site, such as rotating it 90 degrees and pushing it to the corner of Frenchmen and St. Claude with the rear wall aligning with the current Walgreen’s building wall. The ARC noted this would better “bookend” the overall site, may be easier to accommodate turning radiuses for deliveries and trash collection, and would ensure the roll-up doors are non-visible elements from St. Claude.

• The proposed area of concrete between the new accessory rear wall and perimeter fencing should be eliminated and replaced with an additional planted area for landscaping that can further help to visually screen the wall from the street.

• A front elevation drawing of the proposed accessory should be included for the next review.
