Staff is of the opinion that the proposed painted brick and concrete is compatible with the neighborhood character and meets the primary building material regulations of the UDD. The new front porch extends approximately 6-feet from the front wall of the home, encroaching into the front yard setback a maximum of 5-feet as allowed by the zoning code. The proposed porch will add character to the existing home and create depth along the front elevation. While front porches are not found on the majority of homes along the block, the proposed porch will add uniqueness to the existing home, while still being compatible with surrounding properties. The existing roof has gable ends at each side elevation with brick below the roof line. The proposed alterations include rotating the roof line at the northern end of the house, creating gable ends on the front and rear elevations, while maintaining the existing gable end on the south side elevation. The proposed roof change will increase the building height from approximately 15-feet 6-inches to 17-feet 7-inches (as measured from existing grade to the mid- point of the roof). The proposed building material for the area under the new gable ends is light taupe Hardi-board and batten siding. Siding is used in the neighborhood as a secondary material, most often seen under gable roof ends. The proposed board and batten siding is a different application than the commonly found horizontal siding. The proposed siding will be the same color as the painted brick and will not exceed 18 percent of any elevation.

The proposed board and batten siding is a different application than the commonly found horizontal siding. The proposed siding will be the same color as the painted brick and will not exceed 18 percent of any elevation. Houses in the Clayton Gardens UDD are allowed one accent material that shall not exceed 25 percent of any elevation and wood lap siding is an approved accent material. It is staff’s opinion that the siding is compatible with the neighborhood character. New exposed aggregate concrete walkways are proposed in the front yard connecting the concrete porch to the street and the driveway. The proposed changes will increase front yard impervious coverage to 23.5 percent and total lot impervious coverage to 46.3 percent. In the Clayton Gardens UDD, maximum impervious coverage in the front yard is 30 percent and maximum total lot coverage is 40 percent with additional coverage allowed based on garage location. For this property, an additional 10 percent of coverage is granted for the below grade, rear entry garage. The proposed project will increase impervious coverage on site; however, impervious coverage will remain below the maximum allowed. A temporary wood landing and stair is proposed off of the rear elevation door. The applicant plans to apply for a pool at a later date, at which point a plan for the rear deck will be finalized. The finalized rear deck plan will require a building permit. The AC

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – EXTERIOR ALTERATION (FRONT PORCH ADDITION) - SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE – 51 ABERDEEN PLACE

Clarence Olson, project architect, was in attendance at the meeting. Anna Krane explained that the proposed project consists of the construction of a 127.6-square-foot, one-story covered front porch addition that will extend 5-feet beyond the existing front line of the house. The existing home has a primary building material of brick painted grey and a secondary material of grey vinyl siding found on portions of a previous rear addition. The home features white, double-hung casement windows and black asphalt roof shingles. The proposed porch will incorporate the same design and materials to match the existing home. The porch will be centered on the front elevation of the home, extending 5-feet into the front yard. The porch will feature white, wood columns and railings with a shed roof. The roof will be clad in black asphalt shingles to match the house with grey vinyl siding at each end. The vinyl siding will match the existing siding in color, size and installation. The use of vinyl siding must be approved by the Architectural Review Board. The siding will be visible from the public right-of-way, but will match the existing house in color and therefore will not have a significant visual impact. It is staff’s opinion that the proposed porch and materials are compatible with the existing home and will not negatively impact the neighborhood character. The project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District.

It is staff’s opinion that the proposed porch and materials are compatible with the existing home and will not negatively impact the neighborhood character. The project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District. The applicant is requesting that the Architectural Review Board approve the use of vinyl siding at each end of the new roof. Staff is of the opinion that the design and materials of the addition are compatible with the home and recommend approval as requested.
