Historic Zoning Commission

Edgewood-Park City H: Level II

11-A-22-HZ

Applicant Request

Removal of secondary entry on façade and replacement with a new window. The multi-pane door to be removed is located on a recessed massing below the front porch, and the door will be replaced by a fixed twelve-light wood window. The existing door trim will be retained and the applicant will construct a wood sill to match existing sills and fill in the remainder with wood lap siding with an exposure to match existing.

Site Info

Two-story frame residence with a cross gable roof, an exterior of wood lap siding, and a brick foundation.

1. 2041 Jefferson Ave is a contributing resource to the Park City National Register Historic District and the Edgewood-Park City local overlay.

2. The area to receive modifications is recessed from the primary façade, accessible from an elevated porch, and most likely not an original entry to the house. While the guidelines recommend avoiding removing entrances, the primary entry on the façade (an original or historic half-light wood door) will remain.

3. The window to be installed is a fixed, twelve-light wood window, which is compatible with an adjacent façade window. The header height of the new window/existing door is already aligned with the existing façade windows, and the window sill will match the design of the existing. While the window to be installed is somewhat smaller in height than existing windows, the work is on a recessed plane of the façade and the difference in heights will not be significantly visible from the street.
