Site Info

Two-story frame. Cross-gabled roof with asphalt shingles. Two-over-two double-hung windows. Concrete stoop. Dentil molding at entry door. Interior off-set chimney. Stuccoed foundation. Irregular plan. (Contributing)

1) The carport is proposed for the rear of the lot along the alley as typical and will not be visible from the street.
2) The proposed 20x15 footprint is considered to be a minimum size for a carport.
3) The roof of the house is gabled with a cross-gable; therefore, a gabled shape is appropriate for the carport.
4) An appropriate pitch for the carport is at least 7/12 in order to avoid a pre-fab truss appearance.
5) The proposed materials of 4.5-inch wood siding and asphalt shingled roof correspond to those on the main house.
6) The previously existing noncontributing outbuilding at the alley has been removed.
