Existing Conditions

facing Lyndhurst Avenue. Design features include a high hip roof, side gables and wraparound porch. Adjacent structures
are a variety of one and two story designs.

include wood siding, reuse of existing windows and new windows to match existing. Total height will be +/-36’. Mature
trees close to the structure will be removed.
Policy & Design Guidelines - Additions
Additions to existing structures in Local Historic Districts have a responsibility to complement the original structure.
Additions should reflect the design, scale and architectural style of the original structure. The following guidelines are
intended to encourage addition designs that are compatible with the existing structure, while not fully mimicking the
original design.
2. Additions must respect the original character of the property, but must be distinguishable from the original
construction.
3. All additions to the front or side of existing properties must be of a design that is sensitive to the character and massing
of the existing structure.
4. Additions to the front or side of existing structures that are substantially visible from a street must go before the full
Commission.
Staff Analysis
The HDC will determine if the proposal meets the guidelines for Size, Scale, Massing, Fenestration, Rhythm, Materials and
Context.
