HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-2731 DATE: April 10, 2017 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to replace siding, remove a driveway, replace garage doors, install a parking pad, paint exterior, replace windows, and replace the roof. FILE: CA-2731 STAFF REPORT Staff recommends approval, subject to the following conditions: (1) Windows should match the design of those on the existing house. (2) Applicant should apply for and receive any and all necessary planning approvals prior to any additional dwelling units being added the adding of any parking at 2402 South and any other proposed use changes. Reynard Rigues has submitted the application to make several changes at 2405 Laurel. He would like to replace the existing siding with hardy plank and to remove the existing driveway to the garage. He is requesting permission to replace the existing garage doors with five (5) windows and one (1) door. Mr. Rigues is also asking to pour a concrete parking pad on the south side of the garage (but not beyond the property line) and to replace the fence between 2405 Laurel and 2402 South Street. The main house will be painted to match the existing yellow and white colors and three (3) larger windows will also be installed to replace existing smaller ones so they will match the other windows on house. The existing roof will be replaced with a metal roof. It should be noted that there has been some discussion with the applicant about adding an additional apartment unit to the garage in question. The owner has been asked to submit the needed Specific Use Permit (SUP) to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration of this additional unit. In addition, there has been some discussion of adding additional parking to serve this multi-family property at the property to the rear (2402 South). It should be noted that whereas this property (2405 Laurel) is RCR-H (Residential Conservation Revitalization-Historic) which allows multi-family uses and parking with an SUP, the property to the rear (2402 South) is zoned R-S (Residential Single-Family) which does not allow multi- family uses or parking for multi-family uses. Although the requested Certificate of Appropriateness does not include this request, it is worth noting. The house is not listed in the SPARE Beaumont Survey. Exhibits are attached.
