Site Info

One and one-half story frame with brick veneer wall covering. Cross gable roof with gabled front dormer, asphalt shingle roof covering, exposed rafters and louvered wood attic vents. Three over one and six over one double hung windows. One story one bay front porch with splayed wood posts on brick piers, brick balustrade. Interior offset side brick chimney. Brick foundation. Rectangular plan. Altered front entry.

The design guidelines, pg. 19, Outbuildings #1, provide that simple one story garages are appropriate in the Fourth and Gill Historic District, provided their size and construction materials are consistent with the primary building on the lot.

Applicant proposes to install an in-ground pool with a pool deck resembling stone, in the large front/side yard on corner of Luttrell and Glenwood, with garage behind it and turned so it does not open directly on Luttrell. The corner of Glenwood and Luttrell is a major neighborhood entrance.

Although the design of the garage and the pool are consistent with the design guidelines and appropriate to the district, the location of the pool at a major neighborhood entrance may not be appropriate. The adopted design guidelines do not address this issue, providing only that outbuildings should be built at the rear of lots in Fourth & Gill.
