Title
HR 16-06 Approval of a new single family residence in the Canemah National Register District at 624 4th Avenue
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends conditional approval
BACKGROUND:
The Project includes the construction of a new single family residence in the Canemah Historic District. The proposed size of the home is 2,445 sq. ft. finished.
The applicant is proposing a vernacular style home with a main level, an upper level partially within the roof line, and a partial daylight basement level. In addition they are proposing a single car garage attached to the home with a covered breezeway. The main body of the home consists of a gable running front to back with upper level over on the left side of the building. Next to that they have the “addition” portion of the home that is set back from the main façade and is diminutive in scale to the main body. The garage is proposed to be accessed directly from the street and the applicant is requesting a “preservation incentive” to allow the garage within 3’ of the front property line.
This application was previously submitted and approved by the Historic Review Board in 2013 (HR 13-02). It was appealed (AP 13-01) by a neighbor and the City Commission denied the appeal and upheld the Historic Review Board approval in the summer of 2013.
