SUBJECT: A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to remove dormers from a house
FILE: PZ2021-165
STAFF RE PORT
Eric Hellberg requests permission to remove a dormer from the house located at 2429 Broadway
Street. 'I'lic applicant began work without the benefit of a Certificate of Appropriateness or
building permits. A stop work order (SWO) was posted on May 27, 2021 by our Building Codes
inspector. Please see pictures of the exterior work that has been completed to date located in
your packets.
Mr. Hellberg has explained that the dormer, as it exists, is not tied properly into a supportive
beam and that it essentially is floating. He also stated that he will need to remove the front fascia
to then reconstruct the front wall in order to properly secure the dormer to the roof/front porch.
If allowed to remove the dormer, be will tie into the existing roof line and use architectural
shingles to match the existing shingles.
This home is categorized as a Craftsman style house. Dormers appear to be a prominent
architectural feature for a Craftsman style home (McAlester et al., pg. 461). 'I'licrefore, the
removal of the dormer would hinder the historic preservation of this structure.
Staff recommends denial of this request.
The house is not listed in the SPAN survey.
Exhibits are attached.
