Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: December 11, 2013
LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Dilworth
ADDRESS OF PROPERTY:
621 East Tremont Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Addition
OWNER:
Paul Cardone & Angela Cardone
APPLICANT:
Chris Scorsone
Details of Proposed Request
Background
A previous application for this property was denied in July and August of 2013. The application is being accepted
based on the initial denial in July.
Existing Conditions
The subject property is a one story Bungalow c. 1920 and listed as a Contributing structure. The house features
clipped gables, chimney, exposed porch rafters, exposed brackets, and 4/1 windows. The rear elevation features
two gables on the left and right side.
Proposal
The proposal is a second story addition, rear addition, and porch redesign.
The front porch redesign includes additional living space above. The new foundation would be clad in stone
with a raised, enclosed base and tapered columns. The upper level is enclosed by a clipped gable with 3/1
windows and cedar shake siding. A shed dormer is introduced to the left of the gable. The chimney is proposed
to be removed and the existing roof raised to accommodate additional living space. Side elevations reintroduce
clipped cross gables with 3 and 2/1 windows on the upper story and replacement of one window on the lower
story on each side. The right elevation adds a chimney with 3/1 windows on either side. The rear elevation
removes the existing pair of gables, windows, and door. The new addition introduces a single two story clipped
gable, new windows, and doors.
Policy & Design Guidelines for 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 fornt 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.
