Applicant Request

Level II. Construction of addition or outbuilding

Modifications to outbuilding. Applicant is proposing the enclosure of an existing side-gable roof carport (north section of carport) and an 8' addition on the rear (west) elevation) of outbuilding. Carport will be enclosed with two garage doors (garage doors to feature windows to match house's design) and fiber-cement lap siding. The rear addition to the carport will feature a shed-roof, 8' wide extension, with an asphalt-shingle roof to match existing and fiber cement siding.

Site Info

Two story frame with aluminum siding wall covering. Side gable roof with asphalt shingle roof covering. Interior offset brick chimney. One story three-quarters front porch with wood columns with sawn wood trim, sawn wood balustrade. Six over six double hung windows. Transom at front entry. Brick foundation. One story rear ell. Irregular plan.

1. The main house is a contributing structure to the Village of Concord National Register Historic District and local historic overlay.

2. The carport dates to approximately 1990, featuring materials that compliment the existing house, including lap siding, an asphalt shingle roof, and cornerboards. The carport is currently set 80-feet from Olive Road at its closest point.

3. The proposed materials, including lap siding and two garage doors with windows that reflect the divided-light windows on the existing house, are appropriate. The fiber cement siding proposed for the addition should match the exposure of the existing siding.

4. An additional 8' extension on the rear of the carport will not detract from the property's overall historic integrity. The additional vegetation planted by the applicant will assist in making the carport less visible from the public right-of-way.
