Reports/Recommendations A. Changes to Certificate of Appropriateness - 4610 Browndale Avenue originally issued 2-9-2016 Planner Repya explained that at the February 9, 2016 meeting, a COA was issued for changes to an attached street facing garage at 4610 Browndale Avenue. Now, the owner would like to make the following changes to the plans: 1. Re-orienting the garage access to the north side yard 2. Eliminating the street facing garage doors 3. Maintaining the existing capacity for 3 car stalls, but negating a tandem situation 4. Matching materials and the details of the home as follows: A. Option 1. Stucco and half-timbers to match character of existing home as well as dining addition to the Southwest corner of house; or B. Option 2. Brick and stone to match character of existing home, dependent upon availability of matching brick. Original brick manufacturer is no longer in business. Repya concluded that both of the options proposed for the attached garage on the north side of the home, (identified as options #1 and #2), complied with the Country Club District’s plan of treatment, as did the plan originally plan approved on February 9, 2016; thus staff recommended approval of the requested changes. The approval recommendation was subject to the revised plans dated April 29, 2016, and notifying City Staff of the decided upon final option #1 or #2. Draft Minutes Approved Minutes Approved Date: 6/14/2016 Jean Rehkamp Larson, of Rehkamp Larson Architects, representing the owners was available to address the proposed changes. Ms. Rehkamp Larson pointed out that as proposed, the windows on street facing façade of the garages differ for the two options with the two windows separated on option #1 (half timber & stucco) and close together on option #2 (brick & stone). She added that if option #2 is chosen, she would like to amend the proposed spacing of the two window as proposed in option #1; pointing out that while the windows on the home are shown close together, by separating them on the garage, that space would be articulated as a secondary structure to the home. Motion was made by Weber and seconded by Moore to approve both options 1 and 2 (as amended) of the proposal, with the applicant providing staff with the plans for final decided upon option. All voted aye. The motion carried. B. Changes to Certificate of Appropriateness - 4602 Wooddale Avenue originally issued 3-10-2015 Planner Repya explained that at the March 10, 2015, Heritage Preservation Board meeting, plans for a new detached garage were approved. The homeowner delayed construction of the new garage pending the outcome of additions made to the rear of the home that were not subject to a COA. The work on the home is now complete, and they would like to proceed with construction of the new detached garage, with some changes. The proposed changes include: 1. Increasing size from 470 sq. ft. to 527 sq. ft. in area after realizing that the fear of exceeding lot coverage was not an issue: length of structure increased 2’10’; width reduced 4.5” 2. Adding a 1’4” brick foundation around the perimeter on all elevations (brick salvaged from the rear additions to the home) Repya added that the following elements of the original plan are proposed to stay the same: 3. Setback from side and rear lot lines 4. Wall cladding (with the exception of the additional 1’4” brick foundation) 5. 14/12 pitched roof - Slate roof if possible (dependent upon final budget) 6. mass of structure - Heights at peak/mid-point/eave Repya concluded that staff recommends approval of the revised plans dated May 1, 2016, recognizing that the proposed changes do not change the previously approved project’s compliance with the Country Club District’s Plan of Treatment. Joy Martin, architect for the owners was present to address the proposed changes. She pointed out that after researching the cost of a slate roof, it was deemed out of the budget; thus they will use asphalt shingles to replicate the slate shingles on the home as originally proposed. She also explained that sconce lanterns are also proposed to be installed on either side of the east facing garage door. Motion was made by Moore and seconded by Nymo to approve the requested changes to the COA originally approved on March 10, 2015, including the sconce lanterns proposed on either side of the east facing garage door. All voted aye. The motion carried. VII. Correspondence And Petitions - None VIII. Chair And Member Comments - None Draft Minutes Approved Minutes Approved Date: 6/14/2016 IX.
