FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow the painting
of a house
FILE: CA-1622
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Mitch Devillier has applied for a certificate of appropriateness to allow
the painting of the house at 2320 Harrison. Mr. Devillier states that
he would like to paint the body of the house Sherwin Williams
A Renwick Olive @ (SW 2815), the trim Sherwin Williams A Rockwood
Dark Brown @ (SW 2808) and accents Sherwin Williams A Renwick
Golden Oak @ (SW 2824).
The exterior of the house is red brick. Mr. Devillier began painting
the house white without a certificate of appropriateness. Anna Varela
put a stop-work order on any further painting.
The Historic District Regulations prohibit the painting of brick not
previously painted unless the applicant establishes that the color and
texture of replacement brick cannot be matched with that of the
existing brick surface or that the painting is necessary to restore or
preserve the brick itself.
Unless the brick meets that criteria mentioned above, the Planning
Manager would recommend denial of a request to paint brick.
However, since the brick, in this instance, has already been partially
painted, the Planning Manager is recommending approval. The
Planning Manager feels that the requested colors will be an
improvement over what has been done.
The house is listed in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE
states that the house was built c. 1930 and is of the Traditional style.
Exhibit is attached.
