PROPERTY ADDRESS:
2006 Dilworth Road East
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Landscape features
APPLICANT:
Doug Engel
Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: July 8, 2015
The application was continued from June for accurately dimensioned drawings and lower walls and columns.
Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The existing site has a two story Colonial Revival home slightly elevated above the sidewalk and set back
approximately 50 feet from the sidewalk. The existing walkway does not connect to the sidewalk.
Proposal
The proposal is a new walkway extending from the sidewalk to the house with new steps and columns.
Revised Proposal – July 8, 2015
The revised proposal includes accurately scaled drawings with lower cheek walls and columns along the public
sidewalk. The plan also includes a cast iron water fountain and cast aluminum lamps on the brick columns.
Policy & Design Guidelines – Landscape and Site Features, page 60
1. Inspiration for the design of these structures should be drawn from similar historic structures found in the
Local Historic District.
2. Not all landscape structures are appropriate for every lot in the Local Historic District; a retaining wall is not
suitable for a flat lot.
3. Historic precedents indicate appropriate materials such as stone, brick and concrete.
4. Historic site features are considered integral parts of Local Historic District properties, and cannot be
removed without the review of the HDC or its Staff.
5. Walks and walkways in front and side yards or those that are substantially visible from the street should
follow the historic design precedents of their environment.
6. Certain modern materials for landscape and site features are not allowed without the approval of the
Historic District Commission.
• Interlocking concrete block
• Treated landscaping timbers
• Railroad ties
• Pre-fabricated lattice
Staff Analysis
The Commission will determine if the proposal is complimentary to the context of the streetscape.

The Bavarian
Model 1200
Our Bavarian Lamp is a traditional, six-sided lamp
that conveys European sophistication and solid
functionality. Typical of central Europe’s cobblestone
villages, the Bavarian is one of our most flexible lamp
designs. Its domed top is an ideal focal point for
your choice of custom finials; and you may consider
beveled panes to add a dash of sparkle.
