HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) <br />January 11, 2024 <br />Page 8 <br />3 <br />9 <br />0 <br />6 <br />Standard 8 does not apply as there are no known archeological resources onsite. <br />9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy <br />historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. <br />The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the <br />historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the <br />integrity of the property and its environment. <br />The project complies with Standard No. 9. The balcony modifications will not <br />destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the <br />property. The balustrade extensions below the original materials will be identified <br />by knuckles added to the top and bottom of each extension. The new balustrade’s <br />simple design will not include knuckles to differentiate them from the original <br />materials and designs. The rear stoop alteration will also not destroy historic <br />materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The <br />new stoop will be differentiated from the old through its minimal design consisting <br />of a simple masonry wall with stucco finish and concrete steps. The wrought iron <br />handrails on either side of the stoop will reference the previous hand rail with a <br />curved end, which is not confirmed as an original building feature. The <br />garage/accessory building alterations will primarily alter the accessory building <br />footprint and exterior, which is not original to the property. The garage alterations, <br />which consist of moving an original door, removing an original window, and adding <br />a new door opening, are minimal in nature and will not destroy the property’s <br />significant historic materials, features, and spatial relationships. These alterations <br />are all rear-facing and will not be visible from the public right-of-way. The new <br />pedestrian wood door added to the garage’s rear (north) façade will be custom <br />built to resemble an existing garage door. The new, primary (south) façade garage <br />door to be added to the accessory building will feature a wood door with narrow <br />vertical paneling that is walnut stained, and will be understood as a compatible, <br />non-original door. Additionally, the 69-foot rear accessory building addition will <br />remove non-historic materials and will not alter any spatial relationships that <br />characterize the property. The new, multi-pane wood double doors with side lights <br />will reference but not mirror existing doors and windows on the primary structure. <br />The new security wall and wood gate at the northeast corner will also be <br />understood as a new site feature. Utilitarian in nature, the wood gate and wall will <br />complement the historic property. <br />10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such <br />a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the <br />historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. <br />The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered <br />generally reversible, as it does not remove essential aspects of the historic <br />    <br />Historic Resources Commission 56 1/11/2024 <br />
