HDC 2015-278
Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: January 13, 2016
PID# 08119314
LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Plaza Midwood
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
1465 Haywood Court
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
New Construction
APPLICANT:
Tim McCollum (Ed Heiser, Owner)
The application for new construction on this property was denied in October 14, 2015 for the following: 1) Scale
– The relationship of the building to those around it. The house is taller than the neighbor to the right and will
overshadow the home based on the Zoutewelle survey. 2) Context – The overall relationship of the project to its
surroundings. 3) Materials – Proper historic materials or approved substitutes. No exception warranted to nontraditional building materials for maintenance only.
The applicant has submitted a new application for review. The Commission will determine if the project has
been substantially redesigned and now meets the guidelines for new construction. The applicant has also added
new drawings to reflect changes from the previous application.
Details of Proposed Request
Existing Context
The existing site is a large vacant parcel at the end of Haywood Court and the edge of the Plaza Midwood
Historic District. The front of the lot is angled and the width is approximately 87’-6”. The four adjacent
structures on the street are one and, one and one half story single family homes. Across the street is a large
vacant tract and the rear yards of two single family homes. The grade of the site drops from the front to back
and from right to left. The street falls in elevation from Thomas Avenue and the height of the homes are
gradually taller.
Proposal
The proposal is a new single family house and detached garage. Features of the house include a full width front
porch, wood and cedar shake siding, wood trim details, brick foundation and STDL windows. Height is
approximately 29’ from finished floor to ridge.
The summary of revisions includes:
 Style has been changed to a Bungalow type design.
 Siding material is wood lap and wood shakes.
 Width of the house has been reduced from approximately 47’-11” to 35’.
Policy & Design Guidelines for New Construction, page 34
New construction in Local Historic Districts has an obligation to blend in with the historic character and scale of
the Local Historic District in which it is located. Designs for infill projects and other new construction within
designated Local Historic Districts must be designed with the surroundings in mind. The Historic District
Commission will not specify a particular architectural style or design for new construction projects. The scale,
mass and size of a building are often far more important than the decorative details applied. However, well
designed stylistic and decorative elements, as well as building materials and landscaping, can give new
construction projects the attributes necessary to blend in with the district, while creating a distinctive character
for the building. New construction projects in Local Historic Districts must be appropriate to their surroundings.
1
The Historic District Commission will review the building details for all new construction as part of their
evaluation of new construction project proposals.
Policy & Design Guidelines for Mechanical Units, page 22 and 55
1. Rear yards are the preferred location for mechanical units. Such locations are eligible for
administrative approval.
2. Mechanical units are not allowed in the front yards of residential structures, unless the full HDC
finds that there is no other technically feasible alternative. In such cases, a screening plan must be
approved by the HDC prior to installation.
3. Mechanical units are allowed in side yards, but only if they are adequately screened from the
street and adjoining properties in an appropriate manner.
Staff Analysis
The Commission will determine if the proposal meets the guidelines for new construction.
