HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-1478 DATE: July 14, 2008 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow an addition, new windows and the bricking of a house FILE: CA-1478 STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of the addition and the windows subject to the following conditions: 1. The addition shall have the same type of siding as the house. 2. The roof of the addition shall have the same type and color of shingle as on the house. 3. The windows for the house and the addition shall be six light over six light white framed aluminum or vinyl. The Planning Manager recommends denial of the brick. Alma Hernandez has applied for a certificate of appropriateness to allow an addition, new windows and the bricking of her house at 2369 Liberty. The proposal is to add a 15' x 33' gabled extension to the west side of the house. 3' x 5' multi-light white vinyl or aluminum windows will be installed throughout the entire house. Ms. Hernandez would also like to brick the house and the addition. She states that there are several other brick houses in the 2300 Block of Liberty. However, the Planning Manager feels that adding brick to the house would drastically change the historic look of the house and would therefore not be appropriate. The house is not listed in the SPARE Beaumont survey. In addition to approval of the addition by the Historic Landmark Commission, Ms. Hernandez will need to receive approval of a special exception to the front yard setback requirement by the Board of Adjustment. Exhibits are attached.
