Previous ARC Comments:
December 20, 2022 Meeting:
The second story camelback windows should be two over two double hung not the proposed four over four.
Asbestos siding should be replaced with Hardie Plank siding with a 5” reveal.
Retain repair/replace existing six over six windows at existing building.
Vertical trim board should be installed to delineate the camelback from the existing building.
No apron sills should be installed at windows.
Foundation screening should be provided at the camelback foundation to screen piers. Can be horizontal or lattice screening.
The Pauline Street side entry elevation should be corrected to better understand the installation of the proposed awning.
November 15, 2022 Meeting:
Reducing the overall massing of the proposed camelback addition would prevent it from overwhelming the existing Creole cottage building.
This reduction could be accomplished by continuing the ridge of the existing building past the left-side elevation entrance and beginning the camelback portion from that location. Delineating the two portions could be accomplished using a continuous corner board.
The doors at the left-side elevation balcony should be reduced in width and be French doors.
The proposed dormers at the front façade are acceptable but detailing should be provided.
