Alteration (Siding replacement with textured vinyl siding at the rear elevation
only)
Submitted by The Third Estimate Corp.
a) The design standards state materials used in any mass must be applied
consistently on that mass on all sides of the structure. AHBR must determine

standard. Staff questions the compatibility of the existing smooth vinyl with
the proposed textured vinyl siding.
C. 2015-043 2500 Hudson Aurora Road

D. 2015-042 72 Division Street
Addition (rear and side additions, new porch, siding, roof, and window
replacement) Fence (4 ft. board on board fence)
Submitted by Peninsula Architects - Historic District - recommend referral to
the Historic District Subcommittee pursuant to LDC 1203.12 - no
recommendation
a) AHBR must confirm acceptance of the front yard setback as it differs by
more than 10% from the average of the front setbacks of the adjoining
properties.
b) Provide the percentage of impervious surface coverage for the existing
structures and proposed improvements. The maximum permitted in
District 4 is 60 %.
c) Incorporate all setback dimensions on the final site plan.
d) Label all materials on the elevations including: siding material for house
and detached garage, pergola, columns, kneewall material below the
screened porch, railing, material in the returns of the porch, the existing
and proposed foundation.
e) Provide specifications for the proposed windows, doors, new garage
doors, standing seam metal roof and siding material.
f) Note the skylight will be flat.
g) Materials on the detached garage must be consistently applied on all
sides. Incorporate siding to grade at the front elevation.
h) Show the new shed roof on the rear elevation of the garage.
i) Staff notes the proposed addition is not differentiated from the original
structure. The cantilever at the right elevation and the proposed vertical
siding appear heavy. Question if these elements are typical of houses
built in this time period.
j) Staff notes the proposed scope of work changes the original form of the
structure; however, the existing house has been damaged by a fire. The
proposed addition/alteration removes two entire exterior walls and
proposes new windows and roof material.
