HDC 2013-137
Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: October 9, 2013
LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Dilworth
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
420 East Park Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
New Construction – Single Family
OWNER:
Stanley Brian & Morgan Brady
APPLICANT:
RAM Construction
Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The subject property is a vacant lot along a residential street and across from Dilworth Elementary School.
Adjacent single family homes on the block were built between 1988 and 1998 with Victorian elements. The
parcel is also abutting a contemporary multi-family project that was built in 1981. The lot has a very gentle
slope to the rear with a mature tree in the front. The property is accesseible by an alley.
Proposal
The proposal is a new single family home and detached garage that is not visible from the street. The home is
two stories with even fenestration across the front, wide front porch and a series of hip roofs with a small cross
gable over the entrance. The matrerials of the main structure are brick (foundation), wood lap siding, cedar
shakes (gable) and wood railings and columns. Windows are SDL wood sash with composite trim. The height of
the home is approximately 35’ from average grade, consistent with other homes on the block face.
The applicants intends to save the mature tree in the front yard. The setback will be in alignement with the
adjacent four single family homes and excluding the corner dwellings on either side. The curved retaining wall
along the sidewalk will be restored and added onto for the width of the property.
Proposal-Updated for October 9, 2013 Hearing
Based on comments from September. The site plans have been revised to show the mature tree in the front and
adjoining single family setbacks. A letter from a certified arborist has been included recommending trees that
should be saved and removed. Also included are examples of two and two and one half story bungalow homes
in Dilworth. The window detail notes and design revisions have been included.

Policy & Design Guidelines for New Construction
HDC Design Policy requires that new construction be evaluated according to the following:
Staff Analysis
Staff believes the revised proposal meets all of the applicable Guidelines with the exception of Fenestration. The
window arrangement on the second floor left elevation is an unresolved detail.
