APPROVE Certificate No. 71108ONK. Proposed foundation work is necessary to stabilize building, and will not be visible from Grainger Avenue. The foundation height will be fixed at the existing level, consistent with the adopted design guidelines.
Replace currently deteriorated foundation at same elevation, jacking up house and using concrete block faced with original brick laid with low-content Portland mortar to protect the original bricks. Insert wood awning windows on side elevations. Install garage door on rear and 36" access door on rear side.
One and one-half story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Side gable roof with rafters, knee braces, telescoping gables and asphalt shingle roof covering. One story front portico with square wood columns. Side screened porch. Two brick chimneys, one exterior side and one interior central. Brick foundation. Irregular plan.
The majority of buildings on the north side of Grainger were built with raised basements at the rear elevation, or have modified existing foundations to incorporate raised basements, since the lots slope so markedly down to First Creek. The applicant proposed to perform much needed structural work, and the final basement reconstruction will conform this home to others on the street. It will not be visible from Grainger.
