STAFF REPORT
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
Date: August 14, 2024
Application Number: 2024-0708A
Property Location: 917 Leland Avenue
Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder:
Free Classic / 1902
Property Owner: Mike & Jennifer Stone
Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park LHD,
Ordinance #9575-05
Rating: Contributing
DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: This is a 2 story plus attic Free Classic with an irregular plan. It is
situated on a brick foundation. The exterior walls are clapboard siding with corner boards, and the roof is covered
with asphalt shingles. There is a full width porch across the front with wood flooring and balustrade and spindle
newal posts, doric wood columns, concrete steps and lattice work at the base. The windows are mostly wood 1/1
double hung thoughout, with an oval hall window on the south, an arched window in porch, and a fanlight in the
front gable.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant has requested approval to:
1) Reframe the back section of the roof that was damaged by fire in 2015. While reframing, raise the pitch of this
back section of roof to allow more head space and reshingle with CertainTeed Landmark shingles.
2) Widen the south gable by six feet by bringing the ridgeline up to match the proposed raised pitch and extending
the sides. This would allow standing room for tall individuals.
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
Roofs, Gutters/Downspouts, Soffits: 19-21.
Additions: 36-37.
SITE VISIT REPORT: Historic Preservation Specialist Kate Himick was able to inspect the back end of the
house and the south gable from the outside. The south gable appears in good condition. Homeowner states that
when widening the south gable, they intend to replicate details such as the eaves returns and re-use the original
material where possible. Homeowner wants the widened gable to replicate the existing gable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The back section of the roof sustained severe structural damage during the
2015 fire, and modestly raising the pitch would not impact the character of the home. The back section is also not
visible from the street. Widening the south gable would also have no impact on the overall character and visual
impact of the home, especially given that the homeowners intend to replicate the look of the gable currently and re-
use original material where possible. Staff makes a FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION.
