LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Dilworth
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
536 E. Tremont Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
New Construction
OWNER:
William Fitzgerald
APPLICANT:
William Fitzgerald
Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: August 13, 2014
The application was denied May 2014 for non-compliance with the guidelines on Scale and Context.
Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The vacant parcel is a through lot with frontage on East Tremont Avenue and Dilworth Mews Court. The
subdivision ordinance allows a home to be constructed because it meets the street frontage requirements on
Dilworth Mews Court. The slope of the lot falls significantly from East Tremont Avenue. The surrounding
context is a mix 1, 1.5 and 2 story homes. Setbacks along the subject block are varied. However, the setbacks
from the 600-630 side of East Tremont are generally deeper than the 502-528 side.
Proposal
The proposal is a new two story home fronting East Tremont Avenue with a detached garage on Dilworth Mews
Court. Because of the lot configuration the width of the home is 20’ and the height is approximately 31’ - 8.5”.
The front porch will be full width. Siding will be wood and cedar shingles in the gables. All windows will be
Simulated Divided Light. The setback will be in line with the homes further from the street. The garage will have
similar details as the home.
Revised Proposal – August 13, 2014
The revised application is resubmitted based on substantial changes from the denied application. A summary of
the changes include:
1. The overall height has been reduced from 31’-8” to 26’-4”
2. The front porch has been redesigend to be full width
3. The second floor features a shed dormer in the front
4. The fenestration pattern on the front elevation is centered and symmetrical
5. The side elevations introduce a gable roof toward the front
6. The first floor elevation features wood lap siding and wood shingles on the second floor
Policy & Design Guidelines for New Construction
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
1
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.
The Historic District Commission will review the building details for all new construction as part of their
evaluation of new construction project proposals.
Staff Analysis
1. The Commission will determine if substantial change has been made.
2. If substantial change has been made, the Commission will determine if the changes meet the unresolved
design guidelines.
