G. AHBR 24-186 2205 Victoria Parkway
Addition (Second Story, Porch & Garage)
Attachments: 2205 Victoria Parkway AHBR Packet
Ms. Krickovich introduced the application by noting AHBR approved the project on July 14 ,
2021. Subsequent to the approval staff found the project was not built as approved and
conflicts with the Architectural Design Standards.
Mr. Russell Niswander, homeowner, stated the missing first floor windows are due to the
garage not previously having windows and the complications they will cause if required . The
Board noted vegetation is not permitted in place of fenestration and discussed alternatives to
traditional windows. Discussion took place regarding: The grids in the new windows match
the existing windows, that the second floor windows are in proportion to each other, that the
black portion of the garage door is actually magnets - not windows, and the trim band should
not be a requirement since it is not on the rest of the house.

Application be approved as amended with fenestration on the west elevation as
approved by staff. The motion carried by the following vote:

Attachments: 38 Division Street AHBR Packet
Ms. Krickovich introduced the application by displaying the elevations and noting AHBR
approved this application on June 9, 2021, with the following conditions: The siding be
feathered in, a dormer be built on the garage, and the breezeway be inset . These items were
not done.
Mr. Jeff Goodman, Ultimate Home Remodeling, noted he was instructed by staff to cut as
little of the original house as possible resulting in the siding not being feathered in. Mr.
Goodman also stated a six window door was approved but an eight panel full-light door was
installed in the rear to allow more light, the dormer was not installed because doing so would
create a roof leak potential, and the breezeway was inset as far as it would go based on the
position of the garage.
The Board, applicant and staff discussed: The dormer while it was a condition will not be
required by AHBR, that feathering in the siding was also a condition, however, the
non-blended look is acceptable, the lack of the breezeway being inset is probably not required
by the Architectural Design Standards and is complicated by the change of foundation
material on the two sides of the door which existed prior to this work, that adding trim on both
side of the breezeway door is a possible solution, and that the rear breezeway door would
have been approved by the Board.
A motion was made by Mr. Workley, seconded by Mr. Funyak, that this AHBR
Application be approved as amended with the inset area having consistent siding from
top to bottom on each side of the door. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mr. Caputo, Mr. Funyak, Ms. Kenney, Ms. Marzulla, Mr. Ray, Mr. Wetzel and
Mr. Workley

Ms.Krickovich introduced the application by displaying the site plan and elevations and
reviewing the staff comments.
Mr. Nate Bailey, Hara Architects, stated the siding will be removed and new siding reinstalled
with shingles of a similar grade and style to match the existing. Regarding the shutters Mr.
Bailey stated by not installing shutters he is able to have larger windows with more interior
light.
The Board, applicant and staff discussed installing shutters and noted it would require large
shutters to cover a window as shown.
A motion was made by Mr. Workley, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, that this AHBR
Application be approved as submitted with siding to match the side of the garage door
and asphalt shingles. The motion carried by the following vote:

additions.
Mr. Nick Boka, and Mr. Brian Swartz, Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling, introduced the
application by describing the front and rear main masses of the house, the work done in 2018
and 2019 on this property, the various iterations of the proposed addition, and the existing
cedar shakes to be removed, repaired and reinstalled on the west side, if and whenever
possible.
The Board, applicant and staff discussed: That the addition is staying within the site lines of
the original house, that a site visit with the historic consultant would benefit the Board, that
variances from BZBA are needed prior to AHBR approval, that approximately 1000 square
feet in additions have or will take place, and that a wood door can be installed if AHBR
makes that a condition.
Staff agreed to arrange a site visit.
A motion was made by Ms. Marzulla, seconded by Mr. Ray, to conduct a site visit with
the historic consultant and continue this application following the BZBA meeting. The
motion carried by the following vote:

Ms. Krickovich introduced the application by introducing the applicants.
Mr. Gordon Costlow, designer, and Mr. Joseph Morono, homeowner, described the 1889
home redesign to: Enlarge the kitchen, laundry room and add an addition for a first floor
master suite. Mr. Costlow noted the addition is smaller and about the same height as the
existing house, that the new rear porch has a hip roof which mimics the front roof, and that the
right elevation has an existing gable which will be widened.
The Board, applicant and staff discussed: The elevations which were handed out to the Board
at the meeting which showed: Alternative roof lines, the height of the addition in relation to
the existing house, the possible reuse of the existing gables, that the original dormer should
remain with shed roofs on the side which will help with the connection to the historic house,
that the same dormer/roof style should be built on the addition, that the rear roof style should
be rethought, and that the proposed addition is not subordinate to the main mass .
A motion was made by Ms. Kenney, seconded by Mr. Funyak, that the historic
consultant and Board conduct a site visit and the application be continued. The motion
carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mr. Caputo, Mr. Funyak, Ms. Kenney, Ms. Marzulla, Mr. Ray, Mr. Wetzel and

Sign (Wall & Projecting)
Submitted by Mike Bizjak
a) Question if the signs would be illuminated. Staff notes internal
illumination is prohibited per the Land Development Code (zoning)
b) The Architectural Design Standards state “Storefronts with common
architectural elements should have signs that share continuity of design so
that the placement and design of individual signs contribute to the cohesive
appearance created by the common architectural elements. Elements of the
sign should create an overall cohesive design, reflect simplicity, avoid
visual clutter and ensure legibility.” Staff notes the proposed wall sign
would be affixed using an aluminum tubing structure, which is atypical of
the First and Main Development. Staff recommends the sign be pin
mounted to better complement surrounding signage.
c) The Architectural Design Standards state “signs should have a matte
finish, not have a glossy or reflective finish.” Verify signs would have a
matte finish.

b) The Architectural Design Standards state all steps in front of doors must
be the full width of the opening, regardless of whether all portions of the
opening are functioning doors. Confirm the width of the stairs would not

areas) to ensure compatibility with existing materials. Question how the
siding will be blended in on the right side elevation.

Addition (Entertaining Space)
Submitted by Nick Boka, Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design
a) The proposal contains a rear and side addition to a historic building. To
assist with review of the application, the AHBR may wish to seek the
advice of the historic preservation consultant architect per LDC Section
1202.04(b)(3).
b) Staff notes the proposal would require the following variances through the
Board of Zoning Appeals.
- The Land Development Code requires a forty-foot rear yard setback
and the site plan depicts a nineteen foot setback.
- The Land Development Code requires accessory structures to be
located entirely behind the principal structure. Staff notes, with the
addition, the existing garage would be located partially within the side
yard.
c) Staff notes additional storm water measures are required to the total
impervious surface of the lot to exceed 40%. The applicant would
coordinate with the Engineering Department.
d) Staff notes the proposed addition would be made to a 2018 mudroom
addition.
e) Section III-2 of the Design Standards indicates the application shall be
reviewed per the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic
Rehabilitation and Preservation Brief #14 and #16. Two primary items
from the Standard for Rehabilitation are:
- New additions, exterior alterations, or related new 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.
- 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.
f) Staff notes the following preliminary review of the Preservation Brief’s
guidance on additions:
- Question the collective size of the additions compared to the main
historic mass.
- The addition would generally utilize compatible materials; however,
recommend a wood door in lieu of the proposed fiberglass door on the
north elevation.
- Question the transom windows on the east elevation and if they are
compatible with the existing building.
- Staff notes the east elevation would give the appearance of the mud
room wrapping around the addition. Suggest a more defined break
between the two masses.
- Question the rear folding door design and if the width should be

narrowed to be centered on the mass.
- Question how siding would be blended with the existing mud room.

the application, the AHBR may wish to seek the advice of the historic
preservation consultant architect per LDC Section 1202.04(b)(3).
b) Detached buildings are required to have a minimum side yard setback of
four feet while attached buildings require an eight ft setback. The existing
garage is currently detached and subject to the four-foot setback; however,
is proposed to become attached. Staff will confirm if any variance would
be needed for such change in the structure.
c) Section III-2 of the Design Standards indicates the application shall be
reviewed per the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic
Rehabilitation and Preservation Brief #14 and #16. Two primary items
from the Standard for Rehabilitation are:
- New additions, exterior alterations, or related new 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.
- 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.
d) The Standards for Rehabilitation encourage the new addition to be
subordinate to the historic building and not compete in size, scale or
design. Preliminary design review considerations include the ability to:
- Revise to have the additions inset from the historic masses and the ridge
heights lower than the existing roof forms. Of note would be at the right
elevation kitchen area and the second-floor addition.
- Revise the rear porch hip roof to a gable to be compatible with the rest of
the house
- Establish a compact footprint so the scale of the addition does not
impact the existing scale of the existing house.
