New Business: H-16-002 – 117 North University Street, Dr. Ronald and Laura Nelson - Requesting to construct a front porch, rear porch and garage addition to their newly acquired property fronting on East College Street This property is located at the southwest corner of East College Street and North University Street. The house in question was constructed circa 1960 in the Modern Colonial Revival style of architecture with a classical entrance, 2 stories, brick exterior and a gable roof. The house is a non-contributing structure in the East Main Street Historic District of the National Register of Historic Places. The property in question is located at 117 North University Street and was recently replatted in order to combine it with the property located at 534 East College Street (pool house) directly behind the main house. This replatting is enabling the applicants to construct three additions onto the pool house which is now located on a single lot of record. The applicants also received a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals at the February 24, 2016 meeting because the maximum lot coverage allowed for the property would have exceeded the allowable from the Zoning Ordinance. There are no setback encroachments into any required yards. The principal structure—a single-family house—on the newly created lot faces North University Street, while the accessory structure (pool house) faces East College Street. (Please see attachments) The applicants wish to construct a front porch, rear porch, and garage addition to the pool house that fronts E. College Street. A letter submitted from the applicants describing the request is included in the agenda materials along with the final plat drawing that was submitted to the Planning Department. This drawing depicts the property with the existing structures and proposed additions. In addition there are photographs of the property and neighboring properties as well as building elevation drawings of the proposed additions. Dr. Nelson will be in attendance at the meeting in order to answer any questions the Commission may have regarding the request.  E COLLE G E ST AREA N UNIVE RSITY ST E MAIN ST N GAYLE L µ 534 E.
