Historic Zoning Commission

Ft. Sanders NC-1: Level II

4-D-19-HZ

Applicant Request

Level II Rear addition

Extension on the back of the house by 16' to the North.
The width will be 21' which leaves a 1-foot offset on either side of the house to delineate the addition.
The back portion of the roof and over the addition will be changed to a gable style. (The existing shed style roof does not have the proper slope to meet code requirements and pools water on it at the back. This would allow for the proper slope and better drainage of water.)
Walls within 5' will require this 1hr rated wall and allows openings, walls with 3' are not allowed to have any openings. The fire walls are not visually different, except for the ones not allowing openings. (Due to the proximity of walls to the property lines the building department will require the construction of 1hr rated fire walls.)

Site Info

One story frame with cross gable roof. One story full front and side wrap around front porch with masonry foundation.

The house is a contributing structure in the Fort Sanders NC-1 District. The proposed addition will be located at the rear of the building with windows and doors to match those on the existing structure. The windows will provide transparency on those sides not restricted by Fire Code standards. The addition will be offset to distinguish it from the original structure. The addition as proposed will be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the original structure.
