ANALYSIS Applicant requests approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness in order to replace the existing wooden front door of the residence with a framed, solid fir wood door with glazing. The property is located at 223 North Hume Avenue and is located within the Woodson Terrace Historic District. This property is óurrently zoned Residential-l0 (R10) with an Hl historic zoning overlay (Rl0, H1). Hístorícøl Datø The property contains a one story, brick veneer Minimal Traditional style dwelling that was constructed in 1952 according to the Tax Assessor's Offrce and Sanbom Insurance Maps of Gallatin. The main façade of the dwelling has a side gable roof of asphalt shingles with two gable roof dorrners. According to the 2003 V/oodson Terrace Historic District Survey, this home would be considered as a contributing property if Woodson Tenace is proposed forNational Register listing. Solid Fir llood Door wíth Glazing The existing wooden front door is in need of replacement. The front door, an original recessed six-panel wood door with an adjoining screen door, is barely functional and is covered in chipped paint. The existing door does not include significant architectural features. The new property owners are requesting to replace this door with a new solid hr wood door with %length grid pattern windows. The door package would include the door only, no side windows or decoration. The sereen door will also be removed as the entire frame of the doorway will be replaced to match the new door. The applicant has included photos of the existing door as well as an exhibit showing the proposed replacement. Staff recommends the approval of this Certificate of Appropriateness with the new wooden door as proposed for the following reasons: 1. The removal of the screen door would make the house more consistent with the historic district as scteen doors are inappropriate. This new door would be a full-view door. 2. The materials between the existing and proposed doors are consistent. Both are constructed of wood. 3. Both styles of door fall under the acceptable door styles in the Woodson Terrace Guidelines. Both styles are listed as'oVictorian" in the guidelines. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the installation of a solid fir wood door with glazing as indicated on the Certificate of Appropriateness application, this staff report, and accompanying attachments, as submitted.  ATTACH]\JIENT UI Planning Division Historic District Commission APPLICATION FOR CERTIFTCATE OF' t- (wÐ the undersþed d9 hereby respectfully make application for a Cortific¿te of Appropriateness for th9 following plans and -p.opool, boundaries of the Historic District u" L *¿"rt"r* within the [,ocation c Owner Owner's Addr€ñs ProjectNumber Certificate Numher T¡pe of Wgl (plcase check) S¡4xterior Altsrotion or Rcpair E Ncw Constructiun E Demolition of Stuctures fl Relocation of Stnrctures O Other See Page 2 andl of fñis qrplication form for additional to besub¡mitted- Signatr¡re: Applicant's Address Phone Number o The application' iacluding all additional information, must be completod no la¡er rhân (la) days prior to úe next regularly schecured lourtee.n Commission mdng-ãîrl n¡oort Disrict Reû¡rn Application ûo: Gallatin Historic Distict Commission Cityof Gallatin Pla¡níng Division 132 lVest Main SUeet Gallatin, Tennessee J7A66 Date Received by planning Division / / Received by_ Date Approved JJ_ I Work Summary ATTACHMENT 2,.1 Please check a¡eas ofproposed work and explain below as needed TI$e of Work Prog¡sed Detailed on Dnwinss Explain Below (Check all that applÐ (Check as appropriate) DEMOLITION REHABILITATION OF Ð(ISTING BTJILDINGS For¡nd¿tions Masonry Siding Roof Guüers/Downspouts Chimney -- Doors/Eahanccs ,,/' Windows 7.
