staff comment and recommendation.
Mr. Chris Lachman, CSL Consulting, and Mr. Rick Brown, LD Architects, noted the vertical siding above the
window has been changed to 6-inch lap siding.
The Board, applicant, and staff discussed: Their inability to do a close up inspection of the house, that part of the
character of the house, as it exists, is lost with enclosing the porch, that the porch is on the non-historical portion
of the house, that the changes to the front of the house are not compatible with Preservation Brief #14, that past
AHBR approved renovations have changed portions of a project in unacceptable ways, that the preservation brief
does not apply since the porch is not historical, that the historical character of the house was changed when the
porch addition was built, that the columns and fret work will not be affected, that the windows do not match the
existing windows, that the porch is constructed of sliders, that the type standards are within the LDC Standards,
but the Secretary of the Interior's Standards might should be applied instead of the LDC Standards, appreciation
for the area above the doors being changed from vertical to horizontal, and the proposed change is on a non
historic portion of a historic house in the Historic District.

setting issue of approving this application when other applicants desire to change the front of a historic house,
and the Board viewed another enclosed front porch on a prominent street with no details on the porch addition .

Accessory Structure (Detached Garage)
Submitted by Trevor Stewart
a) Revise the elevations to verify proposed exterior materials.
b) Submit product specification sheets for proposed materials.
c) The following item from the Secretary of the Interior Standards for
rehabilitation are relevant as the proposed addition significantly impacts
the existing accessory building. Additionally the large addition should be
studied in relation the historic house: “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”
d) Question the proposed addition having a height greater than the existing
garage structure as the proposal should be compatible and subordinate to
the exiting accessory structure and main house.
e) Additional fenestration is needed to be compatible with the surrounding
area.
f) The proposed story and a half walls appear out of proportion with the
surrounding development. Suggest lowering the ridge and side walls by

needed.
g) Question if a reverse gable form for the half of the structure adjacent to
the existing garage would soften the appearance.
h) Overhead electric lines are present along the rear property line with

within an easement.
i) As the existing and proposed impervious surface coverage is between 40-
60%, a public notice sign shall be installed and Engineering Department
review will be required for possible stormwater management impacts.

2025-131 New Construction (Single-family dwelling)
Submitted by Robyn Jones, Prestige Builder Group
a) Staff notes the proposal was reviewed at the March 12th, 2025 AHBR
Meeting. The AHBR requested the applicant address the massing conflicts
with the Architectural Design Standards.
b) Section IV-4(g)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states
“Projections which extend out from the mass to which they are attached
more than five feet will be treated as wings”. Section IV-4(b)(2) states
“the front face of the main body must sit forward at least 18” from the face
of the wings”. In summary, a 5 ft project could extend in front of a mass;
however, if it extends any further it is considered a wing, which must be
behind the main mass. Staff notes the front library room mass and
planning center mass extend approximately 10 ft from the main mass
(previously 40 ft). Revise so a 5 ft extension is depicted.
