New 8' deep wood deck to extend the full length of the rear elevation. Wood deck to feature square balusters and five evenly-spaced 6 by 6 posts.

Porch: removal of non-historic wrought iron columns and installation of square wood posts with chamfered tops and bottoms, to reflect provided example at adjacent 2100 Jefferson Ave.

Conditions of approval per 9.15.2022 HZC meeting:
1) applicant to select a revised secondary door to meet the design guidelines, with approval by staff;
2) applicant to submit final specifications for new porch columns to staff for approval;
3) rear elevation porch roof to be elevated 1-2' to achieve proper clearances for rear door.

Site Info

One-story frame residence with a hipped roof with gables projecting to the front, clad in asphalt shingles. Exterior is clad in wood lap siding and hosue rests on a stuccoed brick foundation. Partial-width, hipped roof porch. Two interior brick chimneys.

1. 2102 Jefferson Avenue is a contributing resource to the Park City National Register Historic District and the local overlay.

2. The rear elevation work will not be visible from the public right-of-way and is focused on an area already altered by non-original modifications (enclosure of a porch on the left side). The rear elevation work does not involve the removal of historic features. The historic three-over-one, double-hung wood window will be relocated and reused. The applicant should clarify the placement of soffits and trim on the rear elevation, and the rear door's intersection with the trim.

3. Guidelines note that "secondary entrances shall be compatible with the originals in size, scale, and materials." Fiberglass has been approved for secondary entries in the Edgewood-Park City neighborhood, though steel is typically discouraged. The applicant should select a revised rear door and submit to staff for approval.

4. The deck's design and placement meet the design guidelines. Balusters should be set into the top and bottom rails.

5. Overall, the removal of the wrought iron columns and installation of new wood columns meets the design guidelines. The applicant is drawing on physical evidence from the adjacent house and one engaged pilaster on the leftmost bay of the porch. Final specifications including measurements and details should be submitted to staff for review.
