Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
Date: December 11, 2013
LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Dilworth
ADDRESS OF PROPERTY:
723 East Worthington Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Porch Enclosure, Addition, and New Construction (Garage)
OWNER:
Edward Vinson
APPLICANT:
Edward Vinson
Details of Proposed Request
Existing Conditions
The subject property is 1.5 story Bungalow with wood shingle siding, cross gabled roof, and decorative joists.
The c. 1925 house is listed as a Contributing structure.
Proposal
The proposed projects are a conversion of the rear screened porch to a liveable space, addition of a mud room,
and construction of a new carriage house. The rear porch enclosure is not visible from the street.
The proposed addition of a mud room is located to the side of the rear porch and partially visible from the
street. The exteriror materials and trim details would match the existing house.
The proposed carriage house/garage possesses details from the principal structure such as exterior materials,
post-pier design, window design and cross gable roof. The structure is smaller in scale to the principal dwelling.
Policy & Design Guidelines for Enclosure of Existing Porches (Page 43)
Porches are an important part of the residential sections of older neighborhoods. The Historic
District Commission strongly discourages porch enclosures in an effort to maintain the design
integrity of both individual buildings and the overall streetscape in historic districts.
1. All proposals for the enclosure of all or any part of a front, side or rear porch which are substantially
visible from a street will be reviewed by the full Historic District Commission.
2. It is not appropriate to enclose a front porch or balcony on the front of an historic building. The full
enclosure of a front porch is not allowed.
3. Front porch enclosures that reorient the entrance away from the street elevation of a building are not
allowed.
4. Enclosure of side porches and balconies is discouraged. If enclosure of a side porch or balcony is
required for a new use, the enclosure should be designed to ensure that the historic character and
features of the porch are preserved.
1
5. All porch enclosures must be plausibly reversible. Permanent elements that could preclude the
reversibility of the enclosed porch are not allowed.
Policy & Design Guidelines for Additions
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.
Policy & Design Guidelines for Garages/New Construction
1.
New garages cannot be located in front or side yards.
2.
New garages must be constructed using materials and finishes that are in keeping
with the main building they serve, and that are appropriate to the district.
3.
Designs for new garages must be inspired by the main building they serve. Building
details should be derived from the main structure.
4.
Garages must be of a proper scale for the property, and must have an appropriate
site relation to the main structure on a lot and to structures on surrounding
properties.
5.
Garage doors that are substantially visible from any street must be of a style and
materials that are appropriate to the building and the district. Stamped metal and
vinyl doors are considered to be inappropriate, and are discouraged.
2
Staff Analysis
I. Porch Enclosure
1. The Commission should consider the ability to reverse the porch enclosure.
II. Addition
The following Guidelines should be considered for the side addition:
1. Fenestration – Front elevation
2. Rhythm
Staff believes the addition meets Guideliens for Size, Scale. Massing, Setback, Materials, and Context.
III. Garage
Staff believes the addition meets all applicable Guideliens.
