STAFF REPORT
The Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission (SETRPC) has
applied for a certificate of appropriateness to allow the demolition of
an existing house and the construction of a new house. The property
is located at 2550 Houston.
This demolition and new construction is being done under the auspices
of SETRPC=s Hurricane Ike Disaster Recovery Program.
The house will be of the Craftsman style. The 1,450 sq. ft. house will
consist of three bedrooms, two baths, kitchen, living/dining room and
a laundry room. The construction methods employed would dictate
the houses to be constructed as a 24' slab on grade foundation, wood
framing, with horizontal lap hardie siding and 30 year Elk
architectural roofing shingles in a weathered wood gray color. The
windows on the house will be white frame vinyl windows with one
over one appearance. The roof will have 7/12 pitch and with a front
gable. The house will have a covered front porch with a gable. The
porch gable will be covered in siding to match the house. Parking will
be at the rear of the house with a handicap ramp located at the
northwest corner of the house. The colors picked out by the property
owner include Sherwin Williams A Casa Blanca @ (SW 2060) for the
body of the house and Sherwin Williams A Roycroft Brass @ (SW 2843)
for the trim and accent.
FEMA=s engineering consultant estimates that it would cost
$290,795.32 to totally rehabilitate the house which would put
complete renovation beyond the capabilities of this program.
The house is not listed in the SPARE Beaumont survey.
Exhibits are attached.
