Request
A Courtesy Review of the construction of a new main residential building on a vacant (interior) lot with an accessory structure - a detached two-car garage.
Applicant Williams, Tracy
Application Filed 3/4/2026
Staff Recommendation
Courtesy Review - no action required. That the request to construct a new main residential building on a vacant (interior) lot with an accessory structure - a detached two-car garage be conceptually approved with the understanding that the final design, as well as associated site plans, elevations, renderings, and details, are to be submitted for Landmark Commission review.
Task Force Recommendation
Courtesy Review - Comments only. Supportive, with the following comments:
1. The front dormer is too high up, on the front roof slope.
2. Windows of the dormer are too short.
3. Driveway appears to encroach on the neighbor’s property.
4. Reduce the width of the driveway - too much hardscaping, not enough green space.
5. Two-part porch columns on front and rear porches should have square/rectangular bottoms, not flared.
6. Porch column bottoms should be brick and sit on grade.
7. The foundation should be raised with a crawl space (minimum height 18 inches) or a pier and beam.
