715 Louisiana Ave.

Description: New construction of a 3,179 SF two-story, single-family residential building (demolition already approved for existing building).

Previous ARC Recommendations:

01/20/26: The ARC recommended conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the staff level. The ARC made the following recommendations:

• A transom bar should be added between the front door and transom.

• More windows should be added to the side elevations closer to the front of the building (Foyer, Bedroom, and Stair)

• The windows at the side elevations should be a more traditional size, typically 3’x6’.

• The pilasters on the front wall of the house should be removed.

• The box beams at the first and second floor porches should be taller and a more typical proportion. 

11/18/25: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review. The ARC stated that the current proposal did not fit into the context of the area and needed further study of the HDLC Guidelines regarding new construction. The proportions, style, covered car parking, etc. needed further study. The ARC recommended simplifying the overall design of the building. If covered parking is wanted, then pursuing a more contemporary design would be more appropriate. If the more historicist style is wanted, then the form and massing of the design should be simplified and more traditional.

10/21/25: The ARC voted to defer this application to allow the applicant to be present.
