STAFF REPORT
Mr. and Mrs. John Kimmel, applicants, are requesting a certificate of appropriateness to
construct two additions on the east and south sides of their house; reconstruct their
driveway; and build a new fence along the east property line.
The applicants propose extending the south wall of the living room 4 feet. Interior walls
will be removed and a new space for the kitchen and breakfast area will be created.
Windows in this addition will be replaced with multi -light windows to match the other
wood -framed windows in the house. French doors will also be added. The exterior finish
will be the same as the existing siding. The roof line for the addition will be a 5:12 pitch.
A 14'6" section of the east wall will be extended 4 feet. This space will become a new
bathroom area. The siding will be brick to match the house. The angle of the roof line
will match that of the house.
In addition, the existing driveway is to be replaced with a new driveway and moved 3 feet
to the west. A new 8 foot tall fence, tapering down to a 4 foot fence is proposed on the
east property line. The 4 foot tall portion of the fence will extend to the front property
line. A 4 foot tall fence is allowed in the front yard.
The house is listed in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house
was built c. 1938 and is an example of an early split-level house in Beaumont.
Exhibits are attached.
