Site Info

One and one-half story frame with brick veneer wall covering and irregular coursed stone veneer at front entry. Six over six double hung windows, paired on front and side elevation. Side gable roof with projecting telescoping front gables, asphalt shingle covering. Arched entry with flanking window with calmes at front entry. Exterior front brick chimney. Brick foundation. Irregular plan.

The proposed addition is located at the rear and the existing building and will not be visible from Emoriland Boulevard (Design Guidelines, pg. 5, A-4). The applicant inquired about a Certificate from Plans Review, but was not informed that the property was in an NC-1 overlay. When she did receive that information, it was too late to apply for the March meeting, and delaying to the April meeting poses a hardship for the owner. Following consultation with Steve Cotham, and his review of the plans, the Certificate was issued.
