APPROVE Certificate No. 43007ONK. The proposed arbor will be visible above the fence that parallels Harvey, but will be fairly transparent and not massive enough or tall enough to interfere with the massing or appearance of the rear elevation.
Construct arbor on deck and attaching to rear of house, with top 4' (approximatley) visible above fence that fronts on Cornelia.
Two story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables and asphalt shingle covering. Double hung two over two and Queen Anne over one windows. One story two-thirds front porch with round wood columns with Doric capitals and solid board balustrade. Interior offset brick chimney. Brick foundation. Irregular plan. Bay window on front façade.
The proposed arbor meets the adopted design guidelines for additions (pg. 28, New Buildings, Section L: "1. Locate exterior additions at rear or on inconspicuous side of historic building, limiting the size and scale in relationship to the historic building . . . " and "3. . . . Additions shall be distinguishable from the historic building, but shall be compatibly designed so they can be removed without destroying the form of the historic building." Any rear addition would be visible from Harvey. The size, design and materials used in this one are minimized to create a negligible impact, and obscured by a fence screening the back yard from Harvey.
