After-the-fact review of work completed to façade elevation roofline, rear addition, and deck.

Rear addition was removed and reconstructed within the existing footprint (approximately 21' wide by 10' deep). Rear section was a non-original addition with a low-pitch shed roof, clad primarily in T-111 plywood siding, featuring a door on the left (north) side elevation, and three non-historic windows on the rear elevation).

New addition extends flush with the side elevation walls, with a primarily flat roof with a small shed-roof section sloping to the rear. The new addition is clad in wood siding with a ~6-8" overlap (compared to the 4-5" overlap on the existing house) and rests on a stuccoed foundation. A multi-light, fiberglass or vinyl door is located on the rear elevation, adjacent to a one-over-one, double-hung vinyl window.

A new rear deck has also been constructed, described in the application as 11' by 12', and 40-48" off the ground. The deck features square pickets attached to the sides of the rails, and a staircase that extends towards the front of the property line. The applicant is proposing to remove the deck and install a 4' by 4' wood stoop with steps to access a rear entry door (see site plan).

Before roofline modifications, the house featured a primary front-gable roof massing projecting from the right half of the façade, intersecting with a front-gable roof porch projecting from the left half of the façade. The applicant built a new roof section to connect the right-side gable-roof massing with the porch roof. To rectify this, the applicant is proposing 1) keeping the roofline modifications as currently installed or 2) installing a pitched "iceshield" element and covering it with asphalt shingles.

The applicant is also proposing modifications to the front entry. Currently, there are two doors, one facing the street and one on the front-gable massing, perpendicular to the street. The applicant proposes to enclose the right-side door and install a Craftsman-style door (see specifications) on the façade elevation.

A. Roofs
1. The shape of replacement roofs or roofs on new construction shall imitate the shapes of roofs on neighboring existing houses or other houses of the same architectural style. Roof pitch shall duplicate the 12/12 pitch most often found in the neighborhood or replicate the pitch of neighboring buildings. Roof shapes shall be complex, using a combination of gables, dormers where appropriate to the style, turrets, or other features that emphasize the importance of Victorian-era or Craftsman styling.
2. The eaves on additions or new buildings shall have an overhang that mimics existing buildings near the property. A minimum eave overhang of at least eight inches must be retained or used on new buildings or additions to existing buildings.
3. Repair or replace roof details (chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding, bargeboards, and other unique roof features). Use some of these details in designing new buildings.
4. Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate the roofing materials originally found in the neighborhood. Asphalt or fiberglass shingles can be appropriate, as are wood, slate, standing seam metal, or metal shingle or tile roof coverings. The color of roofing materials should be a dark green, charcoal gray, black or dark reddish brown to simulate the original roof colors.
6. Roofs that are visible from streets shall retain their original shapes. Do not introduce roof elements such as dormers to a roof shape that is original.

C. Porches
1. Historic porches on houses in ONK should be repaired, or may replicate the original porch if documentation of its size and design can be discovered.
2. Design elements to be incorporated in any new porch design must include tongue and groove wood floors, beadboard ceilings, wood posts and/or columns and sawn and turned wood trim when appropriate. If balustrades are required, they must be designed with spindles set into the top and bottom rails.

D. Entrances
1. Entry features which shall be preserved include sidelights and transoms of plain, patterned, beveled, or stained glass, fan light windows and transoms, entablatures, and the original doors.
3. It may be appropriate to design or construct a new entrance if the historic one is completely missing. Any restoration shall be based on historical, pictorial, or physical documentation if available. It shall be compatible with the historic character of the building or with adjacent buildings.
6. Service (rear) entrances may not be altered to make them appear to be formal entrances by adding paneled doors, fanlights, transoms or sidelights.
7. Secondary entrances must be compatible with the original in size, scale and materials, but clearly secondary in importance.

E. Wood Wall Coverings
4. New construction must incorporate corner and trim boards and appropriate door and window trim to be compatible with adjacent historic buildings.

L. Additions
1. Locate exterior additions at the rear of or on an inconspicuous side of a historic building, limiting the size and scale in relationship to the historic building, and using appropriate proportions.
2. Design new additions so that it is clear what is historic and what is new.
3. Consider the attached exterior addition both in terms of the new use and the appearance of other buildings in the historic district. Additions shall be distinguishable from the historic building, but shall be compatible in terms of mass, materials, size, texture, and scale. Additions shall be designed so they can be removed without destroying the form of the historic building.
4. New additions should not be visible from streets.
6. Do not cause a loss of historic character through a new addition.
