Design Review Board

Oakwood/Lincoln Park Infill Housing Overlay District

1-F-21-IH

Applicant Request

While rear porches are not always subject to design review under the Infill Housing ordinance, the porch in question is located on a cirber lot and visible from Grove Street. While design guidelines discourage enclosing open front porches, the porch in question is a rear porch which is already partially enclosed with siding and screen windows.

The existing screened-in porch will be enclosed as part of a broader exterior rehabilitation project, and will be enclosed with vinyl lap siding to match the rest of the house. The one-over-one, double-hung vinyl windows will receive exterior trim to match the existing trim. The proposed windows will add additional transparency on side and rear elevations. The existing shed roof covering the porch will not be expanded or modified in size or pitch. The addition will be accessible via an existing stair.
