The following factors are considered in this request for a Certificate of Appropriateness: (1) Scale: Scale is the relationship of the pre-existing elements to the alterations..

Original structure was constructed sometime around 1945. 2. The applicant has added mechanical equipment outside the footprint of the building, constructed an accessory structure measuring 18’ by 25’ (unattached carport) at the rear of the existing building, and installed a CONEX storage container to the property. Height of the carport is unknown but is higher than the rear elevation of the primary building. The carport was installed to cover the mechanical equipment and employees while working on vehicles (Figure 3). 3. The neighboring property at 1732 Front Street was constructed CIRCA 1900 and has potential for classification of historical status. (LDHP No. 52-00098) 4. This property is approximately 100 feet north of the Teddy Avenue Residential Historic District. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 5. This request is for exterior alteration for an addition of accessory structures, a metal Carport and a CONEX storage container. It is viewed against the standards of Sec. 2-216(q) New Construction and the general design guidelines of Sec. 2-2217 Design guidelines for Olde Towne and Fremaux Corridor of Appendix A Zoning of the City of Slidell Code of Ordinances. The following factors are considered in this request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (1) Scale: The scale is out of relationship with the pre-existing construction with the addition of the new carport and storage container. OTPDC Page 1 of 8 CA24-33 Distributed August 9, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander  (2) Siting: Siting is the positioning of an improvement on a lot. This process includes the spacing of this alteration, and the location of walls, fences, walks, drives, parking and landscaping. The metal carport and storage container are located at the rear of the existing structure with visibility to the general public along Teddy Avenue and Second Street. (3) Materials: Materials proposed in the design guidelines for Olde Towne District are not permitted in the Olde Towne Preservation District. FINDINGS 6. The constructed carport is inconsistent with the applicable standards of the Olde Towne Preservation District in material, height and screening. 7. The applicant needs to remove the CONEX storage container which is not a permitted structure. FIGURES OTPDC Page 2 of 8 CA24-33 Distributed August 9, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander Figure 1.
