Old North Knoxville H: Level II

12-F-21-HZ

Applicant Request

Minor revisions to one side elevation on a previously-approved rear addition (with rear-access garage). Previous application for a COA (6-G-21-HZ) proposed a brick-clad foundation wall (for garage behind) with four new double-hung windows on the east elevation. The revised proposal includes three brick piers with vertical channel-gap style siding, either painted cedar or Hardie Artisan square channel siding (installed vertically). On the main level's east elevation, which previously had no windows, revised proposal includes three adjoining double-hung windows with trim and casing to match existing.

Revisions are limited to the reconstructed rear addition and the basement-level garage; all other elements from 6-G-21-HZ remain.

Site Info

One-and-one-half-story residence with a hipped roof with lower gables projecting to front, sides, and rear, clad in asphalt shingles. Exterior is clad in asphalt siding and rests on a brick foundation. Roof features a gable-roof dormer with balustrade, sawn wood bargeboard with spindles on the gable ends, and windows in the gable fields. Partial hipped roof porch supported by square posts, with dentiled wood cornice.

1. 204 E. Scott Ave. is a contributing resource to the ONK National Register Historic District and local overlay.

2. All modifications are located on a new (reconstructed) rear addition, with visible elements only on the rear of the side elevation. All other exterior rehabilitation elements were reviewed and approved by the HZC under COA 6-G-21-HZ.

3. The proposed change from a brick masonry foundation to brick piers with infill siding elements will not result in the removal of any character-defining features and will remain proportionate in size and massing to the primary house. The brick piers with siding are compatible with the main house, while differentiating the basement-level garage addition from the historic house.

4. The addition of three windows to the rear side elevation contributes additional transparency where there was none previously. The windows and trim are compatible with the main house.
