The addition will be designed to match the historic property with exterior plaster siding, flat roof and parapet, and clay tile coping. The tile coping will be slightly differentiated from the original tiles in size and color to indicate the addition. Three (3) sets of fully glazed French doors will be located on the west façade of the family room and a new pair of wood windows without the upper sash horn detail will be on the primary (south) façade facing West 19th Street. The laundry room will include two new double-hung wood windows without the upper sash horn detail along the west façade. The new master bedroom expansion will be located at the northwest corner of the residence. The master bedroom and reconfigured walk-in-closet and master bathroom will require the removal of non-original windows at the west and north facades. The new windows at the west and north façades will all consist of double-hung wood windows without the upper sash horn detail, and a new pair of French doors will be placed on the north façade. 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 with a detached garage. The use is not proposed to change. 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 additions and interior remodel have been designed to remove as little historic material as possible and will reuse original windows/doors where feasible. The proposed exterior alterations will not alter the primary (south and east) façades or any important spatial Historic Resources Commission 74 5/8/2024
