Comments A Minor Residential Development in an Historic District application (HS-18-019) has been submitted for the proposed exterior alterations to the residence, not otherwise requiring approval of a Minor Residential Development application. PAGE 2 OF 2 SUBJECT: 128 TAIT AVENUE APRIL 17, 2018 N:\DEV\HISTORIC PRESERVATION\HPC Sheets\2018\Tait 128 - 04-25-18.docx 4/19/2018 8:03 AM BACKGROUND (Continued): The proposal includes rooftop alterations on the sides of the residence, not visible from the street. An egress window would be added within an existing gable on the south side elevation; and a new dormer would be added to allow light into a reconfigured stairway on the north side elevation. To allow adequate headroom for improved circulation on the upper floor, a small extension of the dormer would connect to a false chimney. The proposal for exterior modifications to a property within a historic district, not otherwise requiring approval of a Minor Residential Development application, is required to be considered by the Historic Preservation Committee at a public meeting, and the Committee can either approve, deny, or continue the matter. DISCUSSION: A. Considerations – related to the request for approval of a Minor Residential Development on a contributing single-family residence in the Almond Grove Historic District. In evaluating applications, the deciding body shall consider the architectural style, design, arrangement, texture, materials and color, and any other pertinent factors. Applications shall not be granted unless: 1. In historic districts, the proposed work will neither adversely affect the exterior architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the application, nor adversely affect its relationship, in terms of harmony and appropriateness, with its surroundings, including neighboring structures, nor adversely affect the character, or the historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value of the district. B. Town Policy That the work proposed is compatible with the neighborhood. Attachments: 1. Anne Bloomfield Architectural/Cultural Survey 2.

Both aspects must be original. Front gable over bay, partially hipped roof. cross-gable on left side, may be o riginal. Bay is now sitting room, left front room, once probably the living room, now dining room. Both papered in dark (blue?) print paper; striking! White moldings at ceiling in two front rooms probably original. DIR leads to short hall, with two rooms opening to the right. One is a charming bedroom, with print wall paper, the other is to be used as an office, but probably originally a second bedroom .. Neither have the ceiling moldings visible in the front rooms. "Grandson," who came to the door a few years ago, for his 20th or 25th HIS reunion, remembered the bedroom as his "grandpapa's." Kitchen to the left. What was 6th room in 1941? smaller kitchen, with DIR to the rear? : Kitchen has been re-done, partially by the contractor who owned the house before the Pecks, but finished by the Pecks (who also did almost all the decorating). The house has been extended to the rear by the contractor-owner, who also replaced the mudsill foundation. Above ground, but below the level of the rest of the house, is a new Living room with fireplace , opening to deck in rear. Above is the master bedroom and stairs to a "bonus" room, which may be part of the attic of the original house. 5 10/21197 In the back yard is an old redwood tree, assessed, by a gardener, to be 150 years old. The garage at the rear has been covered with Jattice, and vine are beginning to grow up the sides. The garden is a lovely English type.
