HEMA No. 2022-04 – Burkett House (2311 N. Santiago Street) July 7, 2022 Page 2 2 1 9 7 windows used on the primary elevation framed with shutters, while four-over-four double- hung windows are used along the north, south, and east elevations. Along the primary elevation, the second floor features a wide shed dormer with four multi-paned casement windows, also framed by shutters. The driveway is located along the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, also clad in clapboard siding. Character-defining features of the house include the one and a half-story massing, high pitched and side gabled roof; massive chimney; dormers; clapboard siding; roof eaves with little to no overhang; and multi-paned, casement windows framed with shutters. Project Description The proposed exterior modifications will not include any new square footage but would include the removal of three double-hung, multi-light windows and a fixed window, a single entry door, and an existing pair of French doors along the rear (east) elevation. The rear elevation will be reconfigured to include three new double-hung windows, flanked by two new sets of French doors. In addition, an existing window will be removed along the south elevation and be replaced with a repurposed window removed from the rear elevation. Lastly, the applicant is proposing an 420-square-foot first floor kitchen and laundry remodel to include the removal of one existing bedroom. All new windows and French doors are proposed to be wood and dual glazed and woud match the existing, including the wood trim. Moreover, the replacement siding will match the existing wood siding. The proposed alterations will be located in the rear of the house, where it is not generally visible from the public right-of-way, and avoids the most significant and character-defining features. Analysis of the Issues As proposed, the project will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne E. Grimmer, revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications would be considered a rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria. Staff has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria: 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its historic use as a single-family residence. The use is not proposed to change. The interior configuration will remain substantially the same with the addition providing enhanced functionality. Historic Resources Commission 5 –2 7/7/2022
