(contributing)

1) The c. 1915 Craftsman house is a contributing structure within the Fourth and Gill Historic District Overlay.
2) A "twin" to this house exists at 2208 Island Home Avenue, which does not have a rear acretion. The configuration of this house indicates that the addition on its twin at 1210 Luttrell Street is a later addition and is not original to the house.
3) The proposed repairs and renovations to the front and side facades, the proposed rear addition, and the proposed garage, as depicted in the noted drawings and photos (as submitted for the 11/17/2016 HZC meeting) all meet the design guidelines for Fourth and Gill, with conditions as stated in the staff recommendation.
