RECOMMENDATION The General design of the addition including the removal of the original rear entry appendage and subsequent reuse of the brick from this area does not negatively affect the historic character of the residence and does not conflict with the historic district standards since the original material will remain on the building. The proposed removal of the brick from the rear of the garage will violate the standards. New brick that matches the color of the original brick should be used on the addition. The intermixxino of any new brick with original brick salvaged from the rear wall of the house and appendage would be appropriate. Any color variation between the old and new brick would continue the character of the house since the original brick already has a. random color variation pattern. One of the distinctive features of the Tudor Revival style is the use of the steeply pitched gable roof as used on this residence. The introduction of a. low pitched gable roof would introduce a non -conforming design feature. The existing rear appendage has a hip roof, in fact the only hip roof on the house. The use of a hip roof on the addition will reuse an original design feature. Hoiwever, the hip roof feature will cause a. conflict with the proposed arch window. A solution could be achieved by the extension of the arched window into a condition that is termed "v--)al1-dormer". This feature is currently used on the house. Staff supports the approval of the addition with the recommendation that brick from the garage is not removed and new brick is used as a supplement to the salvaged brick from the house and that the use of the hip roof is considered by the owner . blp Withdrawn by owner on 8-15-88 Replaced by Proposal 2.
