Approve wth the condition that the reveals in the T-111 on each side be covered with 2-inch battens to create the look of board-and-batten as on the front. Since the May 2017 HZC meeting, the Old Concord Residents Association has sent written notice that it is acceptable to leave the battens off the sides and rear of the barn. However, they have recommended the use of T-111 that features deeper and more narrow grooves at 4 inches on center.
Construct pole barn at 24'x32'x10'. The center of the structure will line up with the center of the existing houses.The roof will be black corrugatedor 5V-groove metal. The front façade only is proposed to be board-and-batten rough-sawn red oak. The sides and rear will be sheathed with exterior grade wood-grain pywood (T1-11). Double-leafed door to be made of reclaimed wood with metal accents (instead of a metal door as shown). No other windows and doors to be installed. The setback will be 15 feet from rear lot line (largely based on grade of property - yard slopes upward towards rear line and flattens out a little near rear line).
Late construction frame house on lot that is 188' wide x 323' deep lot and 1.37 acres
1) The existing house on the lot was approve by the Historic Zoning Commission in 2015 and due to its late age, is considered to be noncontributing to the historic character of the district.
2) The depth of the lot (323 feet) allows the proposed barn to be located far from the house as well as the streetscape, so it will not have a significant impact on either.
3) The barn resembles one that could have been historically constructed in the Village of Concord.
4) The board-and-batten materials are compatible with those of the house. The T1-11 plywood material is not compatible as it is a contemporary material.
5) The 5V-groove or corrugated metal roof is appropriate for outbuildings.
