HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
|
Minutes note: Tim Askin explains this a revised, more subtle design for adding a third-floor balcony above an existing bay window at 2015 N Lake Drive (North Point South Historic District) for John and Sarah Hambrook. John was present.
Plan keeps key existing exterior details: hood molding and side wings remain; window sills would be removed.
Existing window opening will be reused but made taller by extending downward (not upward); two French doors will replace the current window configuration.
Proposed French doors match the combined width of the two existing windows, opening door height noted as short (not full height).
Balcony railing has been pulled in so it does not obstruct the barge board railing design will copy a historic fence on the property.
Railing will require minor modifications for code compliance.
Staff view: unusual but not a major change given retention of details and use of existing opening.
Staff recommended approval with a condition related to final wood door selection; door style discussed (likely similar to the reference option shown; possibly a Simpson door).
