Additions/Alterations (Kitchen, Bedroom, Attached Garage)
Submitted by Anthony Frammartino - Historic District - recommend referral to
Historic District Subcommittee pursuant to LDC 1203.12 - no recommendation.
a) Project received approval from the board on November 10, 2021, for the
additions and exterior alterations. The board conditioned that wood
siding to be used, window types be approved by staff and a double
window be used on the east elevation dormer.
b) The Secretary of Interior’s Standards states that, “New work shall be
differentiated form the old. New additions and adjacent or related new
construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the
future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.” Staff notes raising the roof would
alter the form of the building and is not easily differentiated from the old.
c) The Secretary of Interior’s Standards states that, “New additions shall be
compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to
protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.” Staff
notes the proposal would create a more compatible west elevation by
keeping the simple gable form. Staff notes the previous proposal would
create an incompatible hip roof.
d) The Secretary of Interior’s Standards states that, “Additions should be
inconspicuous as possible from the public view.” Proposal would raise
roof from public view and increase the size and visibility of the left-wing
addition compared to the previous proposal.
e) The Secretary of Interior’s Standards states that, “Changing the scale
will usually compromise the historic character of the building.”
f) The Secretary of Interior’s Standards states that, “Rooftop additions are
generally not appropriate for a one-, two- or three-story building and
should be minimally visible.”
g) Staff notes the Board has the ability to hire a historic preservation
consultant to review revised proposal.
h) Staff notes applicant is proposing the Pella Lifestyle Windows. This
window type has a composite exterior which has typically not been
accepted in the Historic District.
i) Verify proposed alterations to the main mass including siding, shingles,
and windows.

shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
Applicant shall document deteriorated features and need for replacement.

material for the wall than the main body. Staff suggests the entire
addition to be board and batten to differentiate the design from the main
house. Revise elevations to depict wing as board and batten.

from lower level.

Submitted by Tony Lunardi, LDA Land Group LLC.
a) Architectural Design Standards state details in the main body must be
consistently applied throughout all sides of the main body. Staff notes on
left and rear elevation only 1 pair of shutters are depicted. Revising all
elevations to separate windows from fascia boards, window trims and
corner boards would allow additional shutters to be applied.
b) Architectural Design Standards state the walls of the main body must be
a dominant material. Up to two additional materials may be used to call
attention to the composition. Staff notes brick would be applied to front
entry recess and first floor windows.
c) Staff notes no issues with look alikes.
