Date: July 9, 2014
LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Dilworth
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
914 Magnolia Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Addition
OWNER:
Ruth Ann Grissom & Marcus Plescia

Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The existing structure is a 1.5 story Bungalow listed as a contributing structure, ca. 1925, with low massing and
broad gable roof. The property description in the National Register includes a low shed dormer on the front
which has been removed.
Proposal
The proposal, for Commission review, is the enclosure of a side facing front door, the addition of a canopy over
the side cellar stairway and the addition of a front shed dormer. The dormer and canopy will have materials,
fenestration and trim detail to match the existing home. All other work (minor repair and rear addition) will be
reviewed by staff.
Policy & Design Guidelines
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.
Continued on page 2.
1
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 Commission will determine if the proposal meet the relevant guidelines for additions - Massing,
fenestration, rhythm, materials, context.
