It has a hipped roof with a front hip roof dormer; shingles are asphalt. The walls are common bond brick. The enclosed front porch features brick piers with stone prairie style deco windows and a brick wall. The porch entry is single leaf with wide sidelights. WIndows are original wood double hung with divided lite upper sashes and stone sills. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant has requested approval to: 1) Install a 6’ dog-eared pine fence in the backyard. (Administrative Approval 2025-0402-1) 2) Construct a Menard’s Design and Buy (24’ x 24’) garage with a hipped roof and Roseburg DuraTemp primed plywood siding. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: New Construction: Pages 33-35. SITE VISIT REPORT: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed garage has a hipped roof to mirror that of the house’s roof, and the proposed siding is Roseburg DuraTemp primed plywood, which would be a more suitable fit in the neighbor- hood than vinyl or aluminum siding and could be upgraded to clapboard siding at a later date if so desired. Staff considers the elements of the garage to be sympathetic to the neighborhood and welcomes the changes made to the design since the last application (COA #2025-0303, denied ). Based on the information provided prior to this public hearing, Staff makes a FAVORABLE recommendation. Prepared By, Kate Himick, Historic Preservation Specialist
