6317 CLAYTON ROAD – ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – EXTERIOR ALTERATION/RENOVATION

Director Susan M. Istenes summarizes the following staff report: “This is a request by David and Heather Perkin for review of design and materials associated with construction of a new detached two-car garage, enclosed porch, and minor exterior building renovations at a recently approved live/work unit in the Clayton Road Urban Design District. The 6,080 square foot property is located on the north side of Clayton Road between DeMun Avenue and Skinker Boulevard and has a zoning designation of C-2 General Commercial District.

The proposed detached garage will be located in the rear yard of the property, with access from the alley. Currently, the entire rear yard is paved and used for surface parking. According to the applicant, the existing structure is 1,190 square feet and the proposed garage is approximately 690 square feet. The proposed height of the garage is 15.3 feet to the top of the roof. Site Plan Review may be required, at the discretion of the Director of Planning, for accessory structures that exceed 25 percent of total square footage of the existing principal structure.

The proposed garage is to be constructed of red brick veneer to be consistent with the neighboring garages. The roof material of the proposed garage will be asphalt shingle to match the existing residence. The garage door facing the alley will be white in color, and the east elevation shows four windows that will match the house. The exterior lighting is proposed facing the principal structure only and not the alley. Exterior lighting shall not exceed 75 watts.

The submitted plans identify the location of the trash enclosure to be next to the proposed detached garage along the east property, setback 3 feet and screened using a cedar fence.

Currently, the HVAC system is located north of the existing deck, and the applicant proposes to relocate the system east of the screened-in porch. The HVAC system will be screened by the proposed cedar privacy fence.

The proposed enclosed porch will be approximately 175 square feet located in the rear of the principal structure and will be constructed of 6x6 treated posts, a metal roof, and be screened with a metal mesh. A walk-out patio is proposed below grade with access from the basement.

The applicant is proposing to convert the area between the garage and principal structure, which current is paved, into approximately 1,500 +/- square feet of green space in the rear yard with landscaping including a garden bed and a variety of trees.

The proposed alterations to the main building include: painting the exterior of the building and trim around the windows an off-white in color, removing a canopy above the front door, and repairing the existing stained-glass windows while adding exterior windows to protect the stained-glass from the elements. The applicant is also proposing new landscaping and a new exposed aggregate sidewalk in the front yard, which will give the building a refreshed appearance

Staff believes that the proposed detached garage and exterior renovations match the architectural details of the existing residence and surrounding properties. Staff is of the opinion that the detail work proposed is compatible with the historic character of the building style. This project meets the height, setbacks, and impervious coverage requirements of the C-2 General Commercial District and Clayton Road Urban Design District.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS TO BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY STAFF PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT:

MIKE KILLEEN (MK) – Architect Heather Perkin (HP) – Owner

MK – Addresses the Board and would like to add to the staff report that the homeowner is really trying to create a space for them to live. They have tried to match the architecture of the current building. Describes why the homeowners are taking the front awning down. Chairman Lichtenfeld – It looks good and will be more attractive. The home seems very flat without the canopy on the front, but I don’t see any real problem with that though. Carolyn Gaidis – Asks multiple questions regarding pervious materials and if they were considered. HP – We’ve talked about stepping stones or a small gravel of some sort. I would prefer greenspace over a sidewalk. MK – We have brought some materials. *describes them

Chairman Lichtenfeld – There is a metal roof over the screened porch. MK – Yes, in the rear but we didn’t bring material for that. HP – We own the property next to this one and we did a very similar remodel there with the same roof type. Chairman Lichtenfeld – You understand the staff recommendation? HP – Yes. RICHARD LINTZ – MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. GEORGE HETTICH – SECOND
