Applicant Smith, Rick
Application Filed 4/15/2026
Staff Recommendation
That the request for a Predesignation Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a new main residential building (on a vacant corner lot) with an accessory structure - a detached two-car garage be approved in accordance with drawings and specifications dated 4/15/2026 with the following conditions: (1) that the exterior cladding be brick veneer (unpainted); (2) that an exterior (masonry) chimney be added to the front or cornerside elevation; (3) that roof pitch be steeper - minimum 12:12; (4) that windows be all aluminum (no cladding) with lite configuration of one-over-one; (5) that front door be arched or rectangular with heavy timber styling and decorative strap hinges; and (6) that driveway(s), walkway(s) and steps be of brush finished concrete. Implementation of the recommended conditions would allow the proposed work to meet the standards in City Code Section 51A-4.501(d)(5)(B) for noncontributing structures; and the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Setting (District/Neighborhood).
Task Force Recommendation
No quorum - Comments only. Non-Supportive, with the following comment(s): the design shown is not what the Landmark Commission recommended. It lacks important architectural features characteristic of the Tudor Revival style.
