HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-1846 DATE: September 13, 2010 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow the construction of a carport. FILE: CA-1846 NOTE: This item was denied by the Historic Landmark Commission on July 12, 2010. Richard Ferchak, the property owner, was unable to attend that meeting. He has requested that this item be placed back on the agenda so that he can be present. STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends denial. Richard Ferchak is requesting permission to construct a carport in his rear yard at 2369 Ashley. The carport will have 8" cypress posts painted to match the house and a flat metal roof. Although the carport would be located in the rear yard, it will be visible from Ashley, especially since there is no fence along the east property line to help shield it. Historically, carports with metal roofs that could not be screened entirely from an abutting street have not been approved. Section 30-21.2(g)1m(i) states: Roof materials and colors must complement the style and overall color scheme of the building or structure. and (iv) states: The degree and direction of roof slope and pitch must be typical of the style and period of the main building . . . A structure that complements the style and slope of the existing structures using appropriate materials would be necessary. Exhibits are attached.
