1. The proposed location of the garage is typical, in the rear corner of the yard, with the garage door facing the alley. The garage will be visible from the public alley but not from Eleanor Street.
2. The board and batten wallcovering is typical of the era and the 12/12 roof pitch reflects the steep pitch of the roof of the main house. The fibergalss material (no faux wood grain) of the 36-inch door adequately simulates wood when painted.
3. The size and shape, 14'x20', is appropriate and does not overpower the house.
4. The garage door (see Gallery Collection door, sans windows) is proposed to have carriage house-like hardware (spade strap hinges and pull handles). The fiberglass material for the garage door (without faux wood-grain) more adequately simulates wood than does a steel door.
5. A steel garage door with carriage house-styling (see Coachman Collection side-swing appearance, small windows, diagonal framing, spade strap hinges and pull handles) was approved for a garage 1310 Luttrell Street in 2005. It appears that this garage was not ever constucted. A specification sheet for that garage door is included at the end of this staff report.
