HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-2664 DATE: September 12, 2016 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to paint brick and remove one window. FILE: CA-2664 STAFF REPORT Staff recommends approval of the request. Blue Spot, LLC is remodeling the house at 2418 Hazel. In the process of making several updates and renovations to the property, they need to pressure wash the brick. Doing so will remove most of the existing white-wash on the brick. Therefore, the applicant is asking for approval to paint the brick. The colors chosen are SW0052 Pearl Gray for the body, SW0050 Classic Light Buff for the trim and SW2827 Colonial Revival & SW0001 Mulberry Silk for accent colors. In addition, the applicant would like to remove one existing window. The kitchen originally contained an exterior window which has long been covered with cabinets on the interior. The window was left visible on the exterior. Blue Spot first thought to repair/replace the window, but realized there is brick work that needs to be done above the window. Consequently, they decided they would prefer to brick over the window opening if painting of the brick is approved. The house is listed in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was built c. 1942. The house is listed as an example of World War II era housing. Exhibits are attached.
