REPORTS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Certificates of Appropriateness: 4515 Bruce Avenue - New Detached Garage
Planner Repya explained that the applicant is requesting to demolish an existing 528 sq. ft. detached garage that was constructed in 1976, and replace it with a new 477 sq. ft. structure
in the northeast corner of the rear yard. The proposed garage compliments the architecture of the 1924 Italian Renaissance/Prairie style home with a hip roof, stucco walls, trim board
on all elevations, and a one wood flush segmented overhead door with divided lite windows.
Ms. Repya pointed out that plans for an addition to the rear of the home, (not subject to a COA) were provided for the HPB’s information. Furthermore, Preservation Consultant had reviewed
the plans for the proposed garage as well as the addition to the home and found the designs in keeping with the subject home, surrounding neighborhood, and consistent with the provisions
of the district’s plan of treatment. Ms. Repya then concluded that staff recommended approval of the subject COA subject to the plans presented and a year built plaque be installed
on the exterior of the new garage.
Applicant Present: Homeowners Robert & Nicole Brown, and Architect, Bayard Engelhardt
Motion made by Member Kelly to approve the COA for a new detached garage subject to the plans presented and a year built plaque installed on the exterior of the garage. Motion was seconded
