Removal of non-historic wood deck surrounding existing dormer. Repair and reconstruction of damaged roof elements; overall design of porch and primary roof slope to be maintained and reconstructed in necessary places. Replacement of damaged soffit and fascia, installation of gutters. Lap siding is proposed to be replaced with wood shingles.
On dormer, centally located multi-light wood door to be replaced with a fixed wood window with divided light, stained glass panes (measuring 32" x 20").
One and one-half story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Hip roof with asphalt shingle covering, louvered attic vent, gabled dormer. One story full porch with square wood pilasters with Doric capitals and square wood posts with Ionic capitals on brick piers, brick balustrade. Double hung six over six and one over one windows. One interior offset brick chimney. Stuccoed foundation. Rectangular plan.
1. 2003 Washington Avenue is a contributing resource to the Edgewood-Park City National Register Historic District and the local historic overlay.
2. The deck to be removed is a non-historic feature added in 2005. Removal of the deck is appropriate, and will allow for restoration of the original roofline.
3. Removal of the non-historic, centrally-located door on the dormer will not alter or remove historic details. The proposed fixed wood window with divided light stained glass panes is small enough to not detract from the overall integrity of the house, will relate to the adjacent multi-light wood windows on the dormer, and is compatible in size, materials and proportions of the surrounding house.
4. Repair and replacement in patches to the existing wood lap siding on the dormer is appropriate. The applicant also depicts wood shingle siding on the dormer. Shingle siding on small sections is not out of character with the Craftsman style; the proposed shingle siding will be limited to the front dormer.
