1. The house is proposed to be set 25' from the front property line. The average front setback of the blockface is 22.7'. The final site plan should be revised so that the front walkway connects to the sidewalk along with the driveway.

2. The block to receive new construction lacks significant context as it contains many vacant lots and some Minimal Traditionals, with modified Queen Anne cottages, Shotguns, and infill construction further down Texas Avenue. The three-bay façade is proportionate to the dimensions of the lot and other houses on the block.

3. Infill Housing design guidelines recommend that on lots without alleys, new driveways should be at least 20' behind the front façade of the infill house with access limited to one lane between the street and the front façade. Parking is a concrete pad located behind the house and accessed via a driveway from Texas Avenue. The final site plan should meet City Engineering standards and may require revisions to address the stream buffer on the right side of the property.

4. The three-bay façade is similar in scale and height to the context.

5. The design includes a 6'-8" deep, half-length front porch recessed under the primary roofline, supported by two 6" vinyl square columns. Guidelines typically recommend a porch 8'-12' deep, though the porch is proportionate to the small house.

6. Guidelines recommend window and door styles be similar to historic houses on the block, with similar placement and ratio of solid to void. Windows are 1/1 and double-hung, and all elevations feature sufficient transparency for the neighborhood context. The two-paneled half lite front door is appropriate.

7. The 8/12 roof pitch matches the neighborhood context.

8. The asphalt shingles, vinyl lap siding, and stucco-coated block foundation meet the design guidelines.

9. The final site plan should incorporate one native or naturalized shade tree in the front and rear yards.

New primary structure fronting Texas Avenue. One story residence features a front-gable roof (8/12 pitch ), an exterior of vinyl lap siding with corner boards, and a block foundation clad in stucco. The house is 24'-8" wide by 38'-8" deep and will be set 25' from the front property line. It features a half-length, 6'-8" deep front porch recessed under a shed roof and supported by two 6" vinyl square columns. Parking is a 30' wide pad at the rear of the house accessed via a 12' wide driveway entered from Texas Avenue.

The façade (northwest) features three bays, with a projecting front-gable massing with a 1/1 double-hung window in the left bay, a zero-step entrance and paneled front door in the center bay, and a double-hung window in the right bay. The left and right elevations each feature two double-hung windows. The rear elevation features a double-hung window and a secondary entrance with a small deck.
