SUBJECT: A request for a certificate of appropriateness to construct a new 6 unit apartment
building.
FILE: CA-2668
STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval of the request, subject to the following conditions:
1. Storm shutters must be architecturally appropriate.
2. Front and rear setbacks must be a minimum of 25 feet.
2. A building permit must be obtained and approved. All zoning and building code
requirements must be met.
Tom Cockerill has requested a certificate of appropriateness to allow the construction of a new
apartment building. The property is located at 2260 Harrison Avenue.
In September, the Historic Landmark Commission tabled this project to allow Mr. Cockerill time
to redesingn the look of the project to better fit into the neighborhood. Brick has been added to
the first floor exterior for the elevation facing the street. A porch with columns and shutters have
also been added. Additional windows for the rear and left elevations were discussed in the
September meeting. If required, the architecturally appropriate placement and number of
windows should be considered.
The new structure will consist of six (6) unit. Four (4) units will have two (2) bedrooms, and
two (2) units will have one (1) bedroom. The construction methods employed would dictate that
the house be constructed on a slab foundation, wood framing, horizontal lap cement fiber siding
and 30 year architectural roofing shingles. Windows will have white vinyl frames, and will be of
a four over four appearance. The roof will have a 6/12 pitch and a front gable. Mr. Cockerill has
chosen a black 30 yr, architectural shingle for the roof. The paint is to be SW2827 Colonial
Revival with SW2829 Classic White trim and SW2802 Rookwood Red & SW6258 Tricon Black
accents. This color scheme was chosen from the approved pallet.
