HEMA No. 2023-06 – The W.M. Bradley House (2120 North Heliotrope Drive) September 7, 2023 Page 3 3 6 7 6 allow for the new interior connection. The rear addition will be constructed in place of the existing covered porch and uncovered patio. The addition would include a new family room and a newly located dining room, along with a new mud room near the north façade’s secondary building entrance adjacent to the garage. A new hallway connecting the two separate building wings will be added between the new family room and the existing garage workshop. The new family room’s west façade will be designed with four fully glazed, moveable panels/sliding doors. The panels will slide to the north and will have the ability to compress into one panel so that the family room can open to the rear yard. Panel height from the ground to fascia board measures nine feet six inches tall, with a new built-up roof capped at eleven feet six inches. Two sets of paired, wood-clad posts (referencing the former porch style) will flank the moveable panels. A single fixed window that matches the post and panel height, will also reside between each set of posts. Additionally, the family room addition will be visible from the south (side) façade, where two sliding panels, one post, and new siding, will be located. The proposed family room addition will be entirely confined to the rear of the house and will reside below the main house’s roofline (by approximately two feet), hidden from the public right-of-way. The new interior connection will require a new roof, which will be cald in shingles to match the main house and be minimally visible from the north façade near the garage. The addition’s west and south façades would include new smooth stucco to compatibly match the existing sand finish stucco siding. New wood fascia board near the roofline will be a compatible addition to the main building. All new paneled sliding doors, and fixed sidelights between posts, are proposed to have power coated aluminum frames. The proposed addition at the rear of the house avoids the most significant and character- defining features, which are visible at the front (east) façade. Although the new five foot by twenty-one foot wood trellis, with a height of ten feet six inches, will be visible from the primary (front) and north (side) facades, it will be placed 81 feet away from the front property line, set back from the main house and near the garage. Temporary in nature, the trellis will be attached to the north façade over the centered window but can easily be removed without harming the historic building. 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:
