HR 16-07 Side and front addition of a locally designated Landmark located outside of an historic district at 16430 Hiram Avenue- Request for Continuance
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion): Staff recommends that the Historic Review Board continue the application to the next Historic Review Board meeting to allow the applicant time to determine if they want to move forward with the addition as proposed, revise the addition on rehabilitate the house
as-is.
BACKGROUND: The applicant wishes to add onto the very small worker’s cottage onsite, which is currently a designated landmark in Park Place. The applicant hopes to partition the lot in the next few years, but wishes to make improvements to the house before embarking on the land division. The house
is in fair to poor condition.
The applicant initially submitted plans (Option 1) that substantially remodeled the cottage, expanded the footprint and did not differentiate new from old. Staff provided initial direction that Option 1 did not meet the intent of the design standards for alteration and additions and should recommend denial of the proposal.
The applicant submitted a revised proposal (Option 2) on September 16, 2016 that took a different approach and attempted to propose an addition that was able to differentiate new from old and allow the massing and lines of the historic cottage to be retained.
At the September HRB meeting, the Board provided direction to retain the historic house as an accessory building and concentrate on design a compatible new construction. The file was continued to the October meeting.
