The side-gable roof features an 8/12 pitch to match the house. The single garage door will front Olive Street and be painted to match the house's secondary color. On the garage's south elevation (facing the house), two casement windows will flank a centrally-located pedestrian access door. Two additional casement windows are on the north elevation, fronting the alley. The windows will feature decorative awnings to match those on the house's side elevation.

Staff Comments
New construction, Craftsman-style, c.2020
    Craftsman-style new construction. One-and-one-half story residence with a cross-gable roof clad in asphalt shingles, an exterior of fiber cement siding, and a stuccoed foundation. A shed-roof dormer is located on the roof slope. Recessed corner porch supported by wood posts resting on brick piers.

Wall Coverings
3) New construction shall use materials that duplicate the appearance of neighboring historic buildings, so that the new buildings blend with the fabric of the area. This inclues the use of corner and trim boards and appropriate door and window trim. If artificial siding is used on new construction, it must be vented every twelve inches and must look like 4" lap siding unless a different pattern is approved by the HZC.

Infill Buildings
13) If garages or other outbuildings are constructed, they may resemble servants' quarters or carriage houses, work buildings, or simple one-story garages that have been historically constructed in Edgewood-Park City. Their size and construction must use materials which correspond to the original primary buildings on the lot.
