Addition (Bedroom, Laundry, Family Room & Screened Porch)
Submitted by Fred Margulies, Architect

assistance of Perspectus to review the proposed plans.
b) Perspectus provided a report (in the attachments). The applicant did
submit changed to the proposed design based on the report comments.
c) Staff notes the consultant recommended the addition inset from the east
elevation to allow the existing house to be distinguished from the addition.
The current design does not include this change. Additionally, the existing
material is wood and the applicant is proposing hardi on the addition,
causing a material change on the same wall plane. Suggest the addition be
inset to address this comment.

a more simplified double hung window for all elevations.
e) The consultant recommends the clerestory type windows be redesigned to
show two or three one over one double hung windows evenly spaced out.
Staff notes the current design will match the existing high windows.
f) The Architectural Design Standards state siding should be blended across

135 Addition (Attached Garage)
Submitted by Timothy Raggets
a) Staff notes this case went to the February 28, 2024 AHBR meeting. Staff
had comments regarding the massing of the addition as well as creating
significant wall spans and lowering the roof height in order to encourage a
strong main mass and secondary subordinate wings.
b) Staff notes the applicant submitted revised plans to depict a lower roof
height and the second story portion of the addition to be inset; however
based on the revised elevations staff has additional comments.
c) The Architectural Design Standards state large expanses of blank wall are
to be avoided. Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of
approximately every 12 feet. Revise the left and right elevation to meet this
requirement.
d) The Architectural Design Standards state the design of any building shall
be judged in reference to its site and the character of its surroundings, not
as an independent object. Doors and windows on the public faces of a
building should be arranged so that they are regulated by a system of
(invisible) parallel and perpendicular lines. Question the tall garage door
on the front elevation and if it meets the intent of the design standards.
e) Staff notes the LDC district regulations and the Architectural Design
Standards do not permit garage doors to face the street. The existing doors
are permitted to remain; however, the significant expansion in door height
is comparable in surface area to a third bay and does not comply with the
regulations. Incorporation of additional garage doors has typically
required a variance request to the BZBA

with the adjacent tenant sign.
b) The Land Development Code states projecting signs shall have a maximum
height of fourteen feet and a minimum clearance of seven feet from the

Alteration (Window replacement)
Submitted by Jaime Morin, Renewal by Andersen
a) The Secretary of Interior Standards state deteriorated historic features

the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated

deterioration of existing windows. Additionally, staff notes the existing
windows appear to be a wood material and the applicant is proposing a
Fibrex composite material. Question if this material is appropriate within
the Historic District.
b) Staff notes the submitted plans state the proposed windows will have the
grille pattern between the glass. Staff notes the typical grille pattern for

horizontal or vertical divisions of the building. Question the application of
siding on the rear mass and how it relates to the stone and consistency to
the rest of the house.
c) The Architectural Design Standards state windows on the public faces of a
building should be arranged so that they are regulated by a system of
(invisible) parallel and perpendicular lines. Question the left side elevation
window design.

Question the consistency of materials on this elevation.
e) Revise elevations to highlight all areas of work.

F. AHBR 24-195 172 Aurora (Historic District)
Alteration, Addition & Accessory Structure (Siding, roof, windows, great
room addition & detached garage and pool house)
Submitted by Eric Kuczek
a) The 1878 building is located within the historic district and contributes
significantly. Therefore, would be subject to the Secretary of Interior
Standards for Rehabilitation.
b) The Secretary of Interior Standards State “Deteriorated historic features
shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration
requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match
the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated
by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.” The applicant is
proposing to replace existing siding on the historic mass. Staff notes the
existing siding would need to be repaired rather than replaced. If need for
replacement is documented and accepted by the AHBR, the applicant is
proposing a cedar wood siding.
c) Question the age of the existing shutters and if repair is feasible rather
than replacement.
d) Question the proposed Boral trim material as this is an engineered
material. Suggest revising the elevations to depict wood trim as wood is a
more appropriate material in the Historic District.
e) The Secretary of Interior Standards state “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.” Staff notes the addition would wrap around an existing
mass. Question the age of the rear mass and if the addition could be inset
from the historic main mass.
f) Staff notes, overall, the proposed massing is appropriate as each
subsequent addition would step down from the main historic mass.
g) Staff notes the applicant is proposed to remove the existing detached
garage. Question the age of the garage and if it is contributing to the
Historic District and appropriate to remove. Submit existing photos of the
detached garage.
h) As this is a substantial project within the Historic District, staff suggests a
site visit in order to get a better understanding of the project and the
existing materials.
