HEMA No. 2023-06 – The W.M. Bradley House (2120 North Heliotrope Drive) September 7, 2023 Page 4 3 6 7 6 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. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed addition has been designed to remove as little historic material as possible and will be primarily located on a secondary, rear façade, where it will not be generally visible from the public right- of-way. The proposed exterior alterations will not alter the primary east (front) façade, or any important spatial relationships that characterize the property. Only a small portion of the new roof will be visible from the north (side) façade; however, it will match the main house in material and design and be substantially setback from the front of the building. The rear addition will remove an original covered porch and an uncovered concrete patio at the rear (west) elevation; however, the majority of the property’s historic character, including a second covered patio along the south façade of the north wing, will remain. The addition’s design also reflects the open nature of a patio and porch with operable glass panels that open into the rear yard. The new wood trellis will not disrupt the north façade or the driveway as it will be an open-slat trellis only spanning five feet in width. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The proposed addition will read as contemporary in comparison to the existing single-family Ranch style residence, which will have a flat roof and new, aluminum-clad sliding panel doors and wood- clad posts. The addition will be designed to be compatible with the existing scale and massing of the residence, yet distinct enough to discern that it is a new addition through the use of new, yet compatible materials and design. Moreover, the addition will be distinguished through its use of a wider fascia trim board, as well as tall, sliding doors. Therefore, the architectural treatment will read as contemporary, not conjectural. The new wood trellis at the north façade will
