HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-1208 DATE: June 12, 2006 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to allow the construction of a carport FILE: CA-1208 STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request. Sharon Santos is requesting a certificate of appropriateness to allow the construction of a metal carport at the rear of her property at 2227 Ashley. There is an existing concrete slab in the southeast corner of Ms. Santos= property on which she would like to build the carport. The carport will be visible from Ashley only if looking straight at the property. Vegetation partially obstructs this view. The carport will have a pitched roof and will be a light sand/cream color and white to match the house. A wooden storage closet will be built enclosing the rear section of the carport. Section 30-21.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that accessory buildings must be compatible with the scale, shape, roof form, materials, detailing and color of the main building. Prefabricated metal accessory buildings are permitted if they are completely screened from view from any abutting street. The house is listed in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont survey. SPARE states that the house was built c. 1929 and is of the National Folk style. Exhibits are attached.
