HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Tim Askin explains the proposal replaces an existing wood deck (slated for demolition) with a new sunroom.
Sunroom materials: painted wood siding, brick foundation, concrete steps, decorative wood corners, built-in gutter, wood trim and paneling.
Light fixtures noted but not yet selected.
Size and placement: 14' x 16', set just under the belt course between the second and third floor.
Roof form: flat roof stated as necessary to avoid obstructing existing windows.
Compatibility/visibility: complementary to surrounding historic character; classical design intentionally differentiated from the home’s eclectic prairie/Tudor style, designed to be largely not visible from the street (minor cornice overhang mostly hidden by the chimney).
Architect Keith Barnes attended on behalf of the owner.
Commissioners asked to confirm the proposed material is wood; architect confirmed all painted wood.
Architect noted they initially tried composite/LP materials but staff (Tim and Andrew) advised corrections prior to submission.
Staff recommended approval with standard conditions related to wood quality.
Approve as drawn with standard conditions on wood.
Conditions: All finish wood must be smooth and free of knots and must be painted or treated with an opaque stain upon completion. | Pass | 7:0 |
