STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of the demolition of the
existing house and approval of the new construction subject to the
following conditions:
1. Install an architectural shingle in A Weathered Wood @.
2. Place the house on a pier and beam foundation system.
Justin Johnson, for Tegrity Homes, has applied for a certificate
of appropriateness to allow the demolition of the existing house
and the construction of a new house at 1893 Long.
Mr. Johnson states that the proposed home is a Rita replacement
house for Claudette Gilbo. The 1,344 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, 2
bath house that Ms. Gilbo selected is of a cottage style. The
house will be sided with Hardie Plank and Hardie Shingle siding.
The body of the house will be painted A Land Rover @ (tan), with
A TH White @ (off white) trim and A Bulls Eye @ (red) accents.
The house will have six over six white vinyl windows, paneled
doors, square columns and a roof shingled with 3-tab A Weathered
Wood @ shingles. The Planning Manager recommends that
architectural shingles be installed instead of the proposed
3-tab shingles.
At the April 12 Historic Landmark Commission, the Commission
required a pier and beam foundation since the other houses in
the immediate area were that type. Tegrity homes has sent a
letter (dated April 14, 2010) that while it their opinion that
the pier and beam design does not provide the same structural
integrity as a post tensioned engineered design, they will build
the house on a pier and beam foundation. In addition, Tegrity
has agreed to an architectural shingle.
Exhibit is attached.
