STUDIDTHREE DES GN
Proposed Project (revised)
The proposed project is located in the Almond Grove Historic District and is zoned R1-D , LHP
(Landmark-Historic Preservation). The house was built in 1900 on a lot approximately (0.13)
acres or 5, 762 square-feet. The origina l house consisted of a one-story single family residence
with detached two-car garage (which is accessible through a rea r alleyway). An addition was
approved in 1992 by the Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Committee (HPC). The
addition consists of a second floor master bedroom and bath that deviates from the original
style of the home by introducing a more modern window type and style, and deck with open
roof rafters . The rear addition appears to be tacked on and is not a seamless transition from
old to new. In the previous submittal, photos of the existing house were provided for
reference.
The proposed scope of work will be the remodel of the first floor and remodel/addition to the
second floor. The first floor remodel will consist of a new layout for the bedroom and bath,
new layout of the kitchen/family room/nook, eliminating one of the two existing interior stair
cases and enclosing the (small) covered rear porch to be part of the family room. The second
f l oor remodel/addition will consist of reduci ng t he rear seco n d floor in size to allow for a new
shed roof with skylights over the family room/nook area below, and converting the existing
habitable attic space into a new master suite (located where the existing multi-purpose room
is). The two large existing skylights, one over the multi-purpose room and the second over the
master bedroom will be removed . The existing rear second floor plate height will be raised to
match the new front addition and allow for a continuous second floor level (see sheet A4.1).
New smaller skylights will be located over the second floor landing area (off the laundry and
bath #2).
The proposed exterior scope of work will be to keep the existing covered front porch. We are
proposing to wrap the existing posts (4 x 4) with resawn trim to better define the corners. This
will help enhance the overall proportion of the porch while maintaining the integrity of the
existing historical aesthetic. The existing painted wood railing will remain. The existing brick
planter (which does not appear to be original to the house) will be removed. The existing
horizontal wood siding will be replaced with a wider wood siding (from 6" boards to 8" boards).
With the second floor addition, this will allow for the transition of the old and new to be
seamless and not look pieced together. The existing windows will be removed and replaced to
match the existing size, shape and proportion. As part ofthe second floor addition, a new
wood belly band will be added to delineate the transition from the first floor to the second
floor and will help create a break in the two-story wall. The new bedrooms will include a
"bump-out" for the window seat and will have gabled roofs to reduce the overall bulk and mass
at the rear elevation, and add architectural interest/detail. The existing detached two-car
garage will remain as-is (no change). The proposed materials will match the existing: painted
wood siding, painted wood window and door trim, painted wood posts and railing at covered
front porch, and composite asphalt roofing material.
The following items from Chapter Four {Historic Resources) of the Single and Two Family
Residential Design Guidelines apply to the proposed project
4. 7 Protected Exterior Elements
The proposed project intents to maintain the front covered porch and part of the existin g first
floor roof. This will help maintain the front half of the house and create a layering effect to
blend the old with the new.
4.8 .2 Building Materials
The proposed materials will be of a substantive and timeless quality. Painted wood siding and
trim details add to the traditional character of the home. The roofing materials will be
composite asphalt shingle, in a high definition profile. This mix of materi als provides further
architectural detail and integrity w ith the proposed home style (as recommended in the Town
guidelines, Section 3).
4.8 .3 Doors
The current front door is to remain, which is painted (not stained).
4.8.4 Windows and Glass in Doors
The new windows will be consistent with the original in shape and size .
4 .8. 7 Porches
The proposed project intents to maintain the front covered porch. The painted wood railing
will remain as will the roof structure . Only the roofing material, composite asphalt roofing, will
be replaced with new.
4.8.8 Roofs, Gables, Eaves and Overhangs
The proposed remodel maintains the existing roof pitch (6:12) and hip roof typology. Gabled
elements will be introduced and is in keeping with the style , and are features in several of the
surrounding homes. By adding a single, symmetrical gable, this helps avoided excessive roof
forms (as recommended in the Town guidelines, Section 3.5).
4.8 .10 Wood Siding
The ex isting horizontal wood siding will be replaced with a wider wood siding (from 6" boards
to 8" boards). With the second floor addition, this will allow for the transition of the old and
new to be seamless and not look pieced together.
4.8 .13 Decorative Trim/ Mouldings I Gingerbread
Painted wood siding and trim details will be consistent with the traditional character of the
home.
4 .8.14 Colors
Two to three colors will be considered for the proposed project and in keeping with the style of
the home .
Justification (revised)
The proposed scope of work fits within the neighborhood and adds to the classic charm of this
historic, yet style diverse neighborhood . The neighborhood type for this project is considered a
traditional neighborhood due to the regular size lot and traditional home design . The proposed
project is in keeping with the existing street presence by maintaining the front setback (15 -feet)
similar to the houses on either side . Both the remodel and addition is maintained within the
existing building footprint. Note that the existing house encroaches on the side setback along
the southern property line . The second floor addition located at the rear of the house was
approved by the Planning Commission in 1992 and appears to have allowed this encroachment.
The proposed second story addition only slightly encroaches this set back since it is at the front
of the house. The proposed remodel maintains the existing roof pitch (6:12) and hip roof
typology. Gabled elements will be introduced and is in keeping with the style, and ar e features
in several of the surrounding homes . By adding a single, symmetrical gable, this helps avoided
excessive roofforms (as recommended in the Town guidelines, Section 3 .5).
The existing style can be classified as a simplified single-story version of American (four square)
Pyramidal Family (source : A Field Guide to American Houses). This style consists of horizontal
wood siding, tall vertical windows, wood window and door trim , and both hip and gable roofs .
The proposed project will reflect the existing architectural style and strengthen it by focusing
on key details/elements: maintaining the existing front porch, new wider wood siding, using tall
vertical windows at the front addition, continuing the hip roof typology, and adding wood trim
throughout the exterior. The new windows will be consistent with the original in shape and
size . Note that all materials used will be of a substantive and timeless quality. Painted wood
siding and trim details add to the traditional character of the home. The roofing materials will
be composite asphalt shingle, in a high defin ition profile. This mix of materials provides further
architectural detail and integrity with the proposed home style (as recommended in the Town
guidelines, Section 3).
The existing front porch and part of the first floor roof is to remain. This along with the addition
of a wood belly band along the side exterior elevation will provide relief to the two story
elevation (as recommended in the Town guidelines, Section 2.3). As part of the previous
submittal, we provided photos of the surrounding homes that detail their style, structure and
materials. The Neighborhood Streetscape has been revised and is enclosed in this submittal.
The Neighborhood Streetscape shows how the house fits in to the neighborhood in bulk, mass
and height. The existing building height is at 25'-6" and the proposed will be at 29'-4" (increase
of 4'). Please note that the highest point is significantly setback from the street and the front
gable is about 18-inches lower (27'-10"). The existing rear second floor plate height will be
raised to match the new front addition and allow for a continuous second floor level (see sheet
A4.1). By maintain the existing front porch, this element helps to create a layering at the front
facade of the building, and maintains a pedestrian friendly scale as well. Open gables at the
front and rear exterior elevations have been designed to break up the mass of the hip roofs.
This will also add architectural interest consistent with similar styles in the neighborhood,
making use of corbels, trim panels, etc. (as recommended per Town guidelines, Section 2 & 3).
In closing, the proposed design blends into the existing neighborhood and relates to those
adjacent to it by building on the existing style and incorporating features that complement the
style. We respectfully request approval of the project as proposed as it takes care to heed the
Design Guidelines. The FAR coverage calculations and height are also within the allowable
standards. As designed, this home enhances the neighborhood with architectural integrity and
detail.
If you have questions or require additional information, please contact our office at your
convenience.
