STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: 5 August 2015 Application Number: 2015 -0803B Property Location: 1130 East Jefferson Boulevard Architectural Style/Date/Name: Colonial Revival /1939/BonDurant House Property Owner: Louis and Jennifer Miller Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street LHD Rating: Notable DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE,: This is a two storey frame, .irregular plan Colonial Revival house with a hip roof with simple cornice molding and dentils. Windows are 6/6 and 619 double hung with brick flat arch windows at first floor with wood panel sections below sill and cut stone sills second floor. The entry is central with fluted pilasters and Corinthian capitals supporting broken pediments with scroll detailing. A two door garage is attached in rear with a hip roof with hip dormers. Two brick chimneys are at opposite ends of central block. ALTERATIONS: A roof and screen wall was added to an existing patio in 1994 to produce a sunroom. APPLICATION ITEMS: 1. Add dormer addition to rear of house above current sunroom to enlarge 2 °d floor master suite. 2. Construct new 2 stall garage at the rear of the vacant lot located on the east side of the property in place of current shed. 3. Improve previously added screen porch at rear of house with more appropriate wood double hung windows and matching door. 4. Restore arched windows as originally constructed in sunroom. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Written Description of Renovation Plans as provided by applicant. 1. A dormer addition will be added above the sunroom at the southwest comer of the home. The sunroom currently has a flat roof. The designed dormer will comprise a dormer sitting on top of a newly constructed hipped roof. The siding will be fiber cement lap siding that will match the scale of the siding of existing dormers on the house. The roof over the sunroom will be vertical seam metal roofing that will tie architecturally to some of the copper roofing currently on the house. The dormer roof may optionally be slate, but will likely match the metal roof below, due to cost considerations. Pitch on both new roofs will be 9/12 to match the pitch of the existing roofs. Two sets of elevations have been provided for this feature, because the architect provided two slightly different orientations for the dormer. Final budgeted construction costs will be the driver of which design is ultimately chosen, but aesthetically, they are very similar. 2. A new garage (also referred to in architect's drawings as the carriage house) will be constructed at the rear of the property on the vacant lot also owned by the homeowner, and situated immediately to the east of the primary residence.. The carriage house will be the primary structure on the lot and will be located near or on the location of the current shed. There will be two garage doors facing west. The garage doors will be chosen to match the garage doors on the current attached garage. The exterior materials used will be a combination of brick and fiber cement lap siding. Due to cost considerations, the garage may be constructed with lap siding on the ground level, instead of the brick indicated in the architectural drawings. Brick maybe implemented below the sill. All windows used will be wood and approximate the style of the main residence. The roof is halfhipped to tie to the fully hipped roof of the main residence while allowing a more useful space on the second level. Roof material will be either vertical seam metal roofing to match dormer described in item #l, above, or an architectural shingle to match slate on main residence. 3. A three season room which was added within the past 20 years will
