Construction of a new attached garage and carport addition. The garage addition will be 12' wide and 20.5'deep, located on the northeast corner (rear of the right elevation). The one-story garage will feature a cross-hip roof clad in asphalt shingles, with a 21' by 21' carport massing facing east and a 20'-6" wide by 12' deep garage towards the rear of the property.

The carport will be supported by paired 10" square wood columns to match the existing and feature a gable field clad in shake siding. The garage will feature an existing 7' by 7' garage door relocated to the east elevation, with a casement with a pair of wood casement windows on the rear elevation.

Scope of work also includes installation of a new driveway. New driveway (unspecified dimensions) will extend from the left (west) side of the property and wrap in front of the house to connect with existing access to the garage and carport area. The second driveway extending from the right side of the house will remain, continuing to the lot in the rear.

1. 937 Scenic Drive is a contributing resource to the Scenic Drive NC overlay.

2. The proposed carport and garage addition is located to the rear corner of the primary structure, attached to an existing two-story massing. The addition will be minimally visible from the right-of-way at the right (northeast) side of the house. Placement of the addition is appropriate.

3. The one-story addition is secondary in scale to the primary house, and will use materials and a roofline design compatible with the primary structure.

4. The site plan proposes a new driveway in the front of the house. The guidelines note that "parking pads and circular driveways should not be placed in the front yard except in extraordinary cases where a driveway to the rear of the property is impractical or unsafe." If the front driveways are approved, "landscaping should conceal the parking area from the street." The front new front driveway is proposed to provide a primary access to 937 Scenic Drive and remove a shared access with the lot to the rear. In this instance, the front driveway is appropriate within the guidelines.

5. The guidelines also note that site plans "must map mature trees and describe the measures that will be taken to conserve them, minimizing the loss of mature trees." The new driveway appears to be in the location of multiple trees; the final site plan should include information on which trees will be removed and which will be retained.
