Carpenter Location: 2495 Ashley Avenue Historic Landmark Commission February 10, 2020 Ms. Laney presented the staff report. File CA-3160 is a request to paint a house located at 2495 Ashley Avenue. Mrs. Luckey completed an inspection a month ago and noticed Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter had painted their home without the benefit of a certificate of appropriateness, however, no stop work order was posted because the body color of the home was an approved color on the American Heritage color pallet. She instructed the home owners to come in and apply for a certificate of appropriateness within four days’ time to go before the commission for the chosen accent colors. The colors that are in need of approval are for the shutters and the front door. Currently, the front door is a Caribbean coral and the shutters are gray in color. Samples of the paint were available for review at the meeting. Per the commission’s approval, the color for the body of the house will be SW2834 Birdseye Maple. The color of the shutters will be SW7622 Gray and the front door will be SW2854 Caribbean Coral. The trimming is to be SW7563 Restful White. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter have yet to decide if they want their side door to be Caribbean Coral or Gray in color. The accessory structure will be painted to match the same color scheme as the main structure. This home is categorized as a Tudor style house. Examples of this style of home are located in A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester et al., pg. 368). The color scheme proposed seems appropriate for a home within this era. The house is in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was built in 1942. The house is an example of a Tudor Revival style house built in the 1940’s. Staff recommended approval of Dave and Deborah Carpenter’s paint choices as submitted. Slides were shown of the subject property. The applicant, Deborah Carpenter, 2495 Ashley Ave, was present and addressed the commission. She apologized for not obtaining the certificate of appropriateness. She stated she has previously done work through contractors who handled that. She stated that she chose an approved body color on the American Heritage color pallet. She also stated that the accent colors were listed as recommended accent colors on the color card. Mrs. Carpenter also mentioned some possible future additions such as fencing and awnings. Brief discussion followed regarding the procedure to apply for the approval of these future improvements. Commissioner Makin moved to approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to paint a house. Commissioner Sigee seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried 8:0. 2) CA-3163: Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a two-car carport. Applicant: Maria Velazquez Location: 2500 Angelina Street 2 Historic Landmark Commission February 10, 2020 Ms. Laney presented the staff report. Maria Velazquez is seeking permission to construct a two- car carport in the rear yard of her home located at 2500 Angelina Street. The carport is to be open air on all four sides. The entrance of this structure will face Duperior Street. The carport will be made of wood with the same size siding as the main house. It will have a shingle roof with the same pitch as the existing house to match the house that exists on the lot. Additionally, the garage will be painted to match the home. The measurements provided by Mrs. Velazquez’s site plan obey our City’s ordinance requirements in regards to our building structure setbacks. This home is categorized as a Colonial Revival style house. Examples of this style of home are located in A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester et al., pg. 339-341). Staff recommended approval of Mrs. Velazquez’s request to construct the two-bay carport given that all appropriate permits are obtained through the Building Codes department. Slides were shown of the property including a drawing of the proposed carport. Brief discussion followed concerning the placement of the carport and the pitch of the roof. The applicant was not present. Commissioner Makin moved to approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a two-car carport. Commissioner Bell seconded the motion.
