Tfpm 1. Ànnrn.rql nf mìnrrfac frnm the October 10 2017 Llicfnrin Tli cfrinf f-nmmicoi^n mcefinc
Mr. V/ilson motioned to approve the minutes of the October 10,2017 meeting. Mr. Thomson
seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous vote.
Item 2 - Discussion - Historic District Designation Guide
Ms. Ogden distributed a draft. outline of the Historic District Designation Guide and asked the
Board members to review the draft and give her any comments or suggestions.
Mr. V/ilson asked what the term "stakeholder" referenced. Ms. Ogden said a stakeholder would
be anyone involved in and affected by the request, i.e. staff, City Council, Historic District
Commission, property owners, etc.
Mr. Matchett said this does not define what is included in the H-l overlay. Ms. Ogden said she
could expand the document to include what properties already have an H-1 overlay. A
Conservation District would be an overlay but be called a different name. The different overlays
could be clarified in one document.
Chair Richey asked what districts would fall under the H-l overlay. Ms. Ogden said the H-1
overlay pertains only to the historic districts.
Ms. Ogden said she would have an updated draft in January
Chair Richey suggested that H-l be removed and just reference historic districts so that the
general guidelines could apply to conservation districts as well. Details could be added for each
individual district.

DEFINITIONS FROM THE CITY OF GALLATIN ZONING ORDINANCE
Structure - An object constructed or installed by man, including but not limited to buildings, signs, towers,
smokestacks, and overhead transmission lines.
APPLICABLE WOODSON TERRACE HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES
1.2.2 General Principles - Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced whenever
possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced
in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities.
1.2.4 Architectural Features - Original features should be retained if at all possible. The replacement of
irreparable features should be with close visual approximations of the originals. The replacement of
missing original features should be based on accurate duplication, or should be close visual approximations
ofthe originals based on historic, physical, or pictorial documentation. Architectural features ofany period
or sple not original to the building should not be introduced. If artificial siding materials are used, soffits,
eaves, and porch ceilings should not be concealed.
1.2.14.1 Fences
Low retaining walls in front yards should be kept where they exist. Introduction of retaining walls
where none existed should be avoided.
New or reclaimed iron fencing may be appropriate for properties with pre-1900 houses. Iron
fencing is generally not appropriate for later houses.
Wood-picket fences are appropriate in front or rearyards ofhouses.
Board fences, usually taller, with wider boards set close together, can be appropriate around rear
and side yards.
Chain link or woven fences are generally inappropriate for front or visible side yards. They may
be used in rear yards. Ifa portion ofa rea¡ fence is visible from the street, it should be
camouflaged with hedge or vine.
High, solid walls are generally inappropriate.
1.3 New Construction
1.3.2. General Principles
The public façades- front and street-related elevations - of proposals for new buildings shall be
more carefully reviewed than other façades.
2
1.3.3.10 Appurtenances
Appurtenances related to new buildings, including driveways, sidewalks, lighting, fences, and
walls, shall be visually compatible with the environment of the existing buildings and sites to
which they relate.
APPLICABLE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related ne\il construction shall not destroy historic materials that
characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the
massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its
environment.
ANALYSIS
Applicant requests approval of a Certihcate of Appropriateness in order to construct a 4.5 foot
tall black aluminum fencen along the northern, eastern, and southern propcrty lines in the area
behind the existing house. The property is located at 223 North Hume Avenue and is located
within the Woodson Terrace Historic District. This property is currently zoned Residential-IO
(RlO) with an Hl historic zoningoverlay (R10, H1).
Historical Dutu
The property contains a one story, brick veneer Minimal Traditional style dwelling that was
constructed in 1952 according to the Tax Assessor's Office and Sanborn lnsurance Maps of
Gallatin. The main façade of the dwelling has a side gable roof of asphalt shingles with ¡¡¿o
gable roof dormers.
According to the 2003 Woodson Terrace Historic District Survey, this home would be considered
as a contributing property if Woodson Terrace is proposed for National Register listing.
Proposed ßløck Alumínunt lrence
The proposed aluminum fence will be installed along the northern, eastern and southern property
lines in the area behind the existing house at a height of 4.5 feet tall. The applicant submitted
examples of the aluminum fence to the Planning Division. The affached site plan shows the
proposed location ofthe fence.
As proposed, the fence does meet the general fence requirements for the City of Gallatin as
found in the Gallatin Zoning Ordinance Section 12.01.020. A4.5 foot tall fence is allowed in
side and rear yards.
The only applicable design guideline is Section 1.2.14 Appurtenances, which states fences
"should be visually compatible with the environment to which they are related".
It is also staff s opinion that the use of black aluminum to construct the fence will have a very
minimal impact on the overall appearance of the property and its surrounding environment as it
is located in the rear of the property and only marginally visible from the right-of-way.
Additionally, the Historic District Commission approved a similar fence on Hume Avenue in
April20l7.
J
Therefore, Staff recommends the approval of this Certificate of Appropriateness with the black
aluminum fenceo as shown on the site plan, at a height of 4.5 feet.
The City of Gallatin does require a fence permit for the installation of fences on residential
property.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the installation of a 4.5 foot tall aluminum fence in the location as
indicated on the Certificate of Appropriateness application, this staff report, and accompanying
attachments, as submitted.

Historic District.
Attachment 3-1 Certificate of Appropriateness Application
Attachment 3-2 Elevations of Proposed Residence with Site Plan
DEFINITIONS FROM THE CITY OF GALLATIN ZONING ORDINANCE
Structure - An object constructed or installed by man, including but not limited to buildings, signs, towers,
smokestacks, and overhead transmission lines.
APPLICABLE WOODSON TERRACE HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES
1.3 NEW CONSTRUCTION
I .3.1 Definition: The construction of any freestanding structure on any lot, or addition to existing structure.
1.3.2 General Principles
The guidelines shall apply only to the exteriors of buildings and, predominately, to areas of lots clearly visible
from public rights-of-way.
The public façades - front and street-related elevations - of proposals for new buildings shall be more
carefully reviewed than other façades.
Since construction in the Woodson Terrace Historic District has taken place continuously from late-nineteenth
century to the present , a variety of building types and styles have emerged which demonstrate the changes in
building tastes and technology over the years. New buildings may continue this tradition while complementing
and being compatible with other buildings in the area.
Reconstruction may be appropriate when it reproduces façades of a building which no longer exists and which
was located in the historic district, if: the building would have contributed to the historical and architectural
character of the area; if it will be compatible in terms of style, height, scale, massing, and materials with the
buildings immediately surrounding the lot on which the reproduction will be built; and if it is accurately based
on pictorial documentation.
Because new buildings usually relate to an established pattern and rhythm of existing buildings, both on the
same and opposite sides of a street, the dominance of that pattern and rhythm must be respected and not
disrupted.
New construction should be consistent with existing buildings along a street in terms of height, scale, setback,
and rh¡hm; relationship of materials, texture, details, and color; roof shape; orientation; and proportion and
rhythm ofopenings.
In the case of planned new construction between two buildings of equal height or varying heights, an
individual judgment will be made by the Gallatin Historic Commission as to compatibility of the desigrr.
Historically, East Main Street structures were designed as single-family residences of solid, permanent
construction and remain so today. Accordingly, all new construction, additions, or relocation of any structures
within or to the Historic District shall be of permanent construction and employed solely as single-family
residence.
1.3.3 Guidelines for New Construction
1.3.3.1 Heieht
New buildings must be constructed to the same number of stories and to a height, which is compatible with
the height ofadjacent buildings.
1.3.3.2 Scale
The size of a new building; its mass in relation to open spaces; and its windows, doors, openings, and
porches should be visually compatible with the surrounding buildings.
1.3.3.3 Setback and Rhythm of Spacing
The setback from front and side yard property lines established by adjacent buildings must be maintained.
When a definite rhythm along a street is established by uniform lot and building witlin, infill new buildings
should maintain the rhythm.
1.3.3.4 Roo,f_Slape
The roofs of new buildings shall be visually compatible, by not contrasting greatly with the roof shape and
orientation of surounding buildhgs.
1.3.3.5 Proportion and Rhythm of Openings
The relationship of width to height of windows and doors, and the rhythm of solids to voids in new buildings
shall be visually compatible with surrounding buildings.
1.3.3.6 Relationship of Materials. Texture, Details. and Material Color
The relationship and use of materials. texture. details. and material color of a new building's public façades
shall be visually compatible with and similar to those of adjacent buildings, or shall not conh?ct
conspicuously.
1.3.3.7 Orientation
Tlte sitc orientatiorl of ttcw builtlings shall bc colrsistsnt with that of adjaccnt buildings ¿ntl shall bc visually
compatible. Dil'ectional expression shall be compatible with sun'oundine buildings, whether that expression
is vertical, horizontal, or non-directional.
ANALYSIS
The applicant requests approval for the construction of a new house on a vacant lot. The property
is located on E. Eastland Street west of N. Hume Avenue. which is located in the 'Woodson
Terrace Historic District. This property is currently zoîed Residential-l0 with an H-l historic
zoning overlay (R10, H1).
Hßtorical Datø
This property is currently vacant. The previous residence located on this lot was demolished due
to fire damage in20l7.
Project Descríptíon
The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Appropriateness request for approval to construct a
new residence on a vacant lot. The proposed one-and-a-half story residence with a walk-out
basement has a front gabled roof with side gables. The facades will be made up of primarily
stone and hardiboard. There is a front porch, a front-facing garage, and a two-story rear deck.
The residence was designed by Matchett and Associates Architects. This is a pennanent
construction and will be used solely as a single-family residence.
The review of this request should focus on its compatibility to the adjacent property owners.
1.3.3.1 Heieht
The proposed one-and-a-half story residence (with a walk-out basement) is approximately 23'-6"
feet in height to the peak of the main gable. The existing houses within the V/oodson Terrace
Historic District are between one and two stories in height.
1.3.3.2 Scale
The house will have a footprint of 88'-6" by 38'-4" and approximately 3,344 square feet of
living space according to the attached site plan. The average square footage of homes in this
neighborhood vary. This proposed size is compatible with many of the adjacent properties along
North Hume Avenue (to the east) within the Historic Overlay.
1.3.3.3 Setback and Rhythm of Spacing
The house will be set back approximately 30 feet from the adjacent rights-of-way, which is
consistent the residences on adjacent properties. The site plan indicates that the house will meet
all setbacks requirements as described in the Gallatin Zoning Ordinance (Section 06.06, G.Z.O.).
1.3.3.4 Roo.f Shape
The proposed front gabled roof with side gables is consistent with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood.
1.3.3.5 Proportion and Rhythm of Openings
The proposed front façade features one window on the upper floor, the main front entry with a
covered porch, and a front-facing garage door.
The garage (both within the structure of the house and included on the front façade) is not a
consistent characteristic of the neighborhood. However, staff believes that the following
principle in the Woodson Terrace Design Guidelines applies:
Since construction in the Woodson Terrace Historic District has taken place continuously from late-nineteenth
century to the present, a variety of building types and styles have emerged which demonstrate the changes in
building tastes and technology over the years. New buildings may continue this tradition while complementing
and being compatible with other buildings in the area.
Since technological advances have established the car as a primary and necessary means of
transportation, the request for a garuge is reasonable. Additionally, the lot's proportions and size
limit other possible locations of a garage and garage door not within view of the right-of-way.
The lot is narrow and includes building setbacks that limit the building area.
As new structures should still be reflective of the time period in which they are built, staff
believes that when no other options are available, a front-facing garage with a door of compatible
style and size would be appropriate for a new residence within the historic district.
As shown on the elevations, the garage door will stylistically match the front door
All other proportions are consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
