1735 Louisa St.

Description: New construction of an 830 SF one-story, single-family residential building on a vacant lot. 

Previous ARC Recommendations:

07/18/23: The ARC recommended conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the staff level.

• The siting of the building should be such that the front wall is in line with the neighboring buildings. 

• The roof overhang at the left side elevation should meet where it is on the floor plan. 

05/16/23:

• The front wall of the building should be aligned with the neighboring buildings and a measured context elevation drawing should be submitted for review.

• The front porch depth should be 5-6’ rather than the proposed 4’. 

• Removing the front porch/portico gable and detailing that area of the building in more contemporary language would be more successful. 

• Changes at the front porch/portico could be accomplished through simplifying the columns to be 10”x8” posts, including side lites at the front door or providing a non-solid door, introducing a metal balustrade, and having a solid porch foundation. 

• Windows should be added at the left-side elevation.
