Previous ARC Recommendations:
03/24/26: The ARC recommended conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the staff level. The ARC stated that the proposed porch should have a shed roof rather than a hip and should be raised up slightly. The side porch columns should be simplified and the door to the porch should have the same header height as the adjacent windows. The windows at the addition should also be simplified to 2/2 grids and the handrail at the front stair should be simplified to a single lamb’s tongue handrail with no pickets.
02/24/26: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review. The ARC stated that they would like to review the Sanborn maps to determine if the rear portion of the structure is original and if it is, it should be retained. If the rear is not original, the new rear addition should not be seamless with the historic massing and should be subordinate. The addition should be set in on the side elevations with a lower ridge line at the roof. The ARC also stated that the massing of the right-side addition was not appropriate with a solid massing above an open first floor. The ARC recommended making the addition enclosed so it appears as one solid massing from the public right-of-way. The new iron handrail at the front porch should match the historic photo and have a simple metal handrail at the stair.
