Staff Report/ HI-10-18, Page 1

2 7.270(1) New Construction Review Criteria. (1) Within the Monteith and Hackleman Districts: (a) FINDINGS OF FACT The development maintains any unifying development patterns such as sidewalk and street tree location, setbacks, building coverage, and orientation to the street. 1.1 The subject site is located at the southeast corner of the Jefferson Street and 4 th Avenue intersection at 405 Jefferson Street SE (Attachment A). The subject site consists of a historic-contributing single-family residence and a non-historic-contributing accessory structure located within the Hackleman National Register Historic District (Attachment E). The residence is oriented near the northwest portion of the parcel and the existing accessory structure is located near the southeast portion of the parcel. 1.2 Proposed New Construction Generally. The applicant has been issued a demolition permit (B ) to remove the existing non-historic, non-contributing accessory structure. The applicant proposes to construct a new accessory structure in the southeast portion of the property near where the existing accessory structure is located (Attachment D.1). The proposed structure will be 576-square-foot (24 feet by 24 feet) with a wall height of 10 feet (Attachment D.3). 1.3 Accessory Buildings. According to ADC 3.050, accessory structures are permitted outright in the Hackleman Monteith (HM) when in conformance with residential district development standards of ADC 3.190, Table 1 and Residential District Development Standards. The HM zoning district has a minimum front yard setback of 20 feet for garage vehicle entrances and a minimum interior yard setback of five feet for detached accessory structures with walls greater than 8 feet tall. The proposed accessory structure is detached with a wall height of 10 feet. The site plan indicates a 10-foot interior setback from the east and south interior property line and 33 feet from the front (west) property line (Attachment D.1). The new detached accessory structure will comply with the applicable setback standards established in Article 3 of the ADC. 1.5 Building Coverage. Based on Linn County Tax Assessor records, the subject parcel is approximately 7,260 square feet and the footprint of the residence, including covered porches, is approximately 2,016 square feet. The addition of a 576-square-foot accessory structure would bring the lot coverage to approximately 36 percent. As proposed, the new structure will comply with the 60 percent maximum lot coverage standard of the HM zoning district. 1.6 Street Orientation. The proposed accessory structure will front Jefferson Street and is at right angles to the abutting street. It is common for accessory structures on corner lots to face one abutting street. 1.7 Sidewalk Locations. The site is located on the southeast corner of Jefferson Street and 4 th Avenue (Attachment A). Jefferson Street and 4 th Avenue are both classified as a local street and are constructed to City standards along the frontage of the site. Improvements along the frontage of the site include curb, gutter, sidewalks, and planter strips along both sides of the street. There is one existing sidewalk from 4 th Avenue, to the north entrance of the residence. The applicant proposes to construct a new driveway and driveway approach to Jefferson Street. Condition 1 will ensure that the applicant obtains an encroachment permit for driveway and sidewalk modifications on Jefferson Street. In accordance with ADC , the width of the new driveway on Jefferson Street must no less than 10 feet and no greater than 24 feet and constructed in accordance with the Standard Construction Specifications. Staff Report/ HI-10-18, Page 2

3 1.8 Street Tree Locations. There are two existing shrubs located in the planter strip along the 4 th Avenue property frontage and no trees or shrubs along the Jefferson Street property frontage. Street trees are common in the vicinity. CONCLUSION 1.1 The proposed new construction maintains the unifying development patterns within the Hackleman Historic District with regard to sidewalks, setbacks, lot coverage, and street orientation. This criterion is met with the following condition. CONDITIONS Condition 1 Encroachment Permit. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall obtain an encroachment permit for driveway and sidewalk modifications on Jefferson Street. The width of the new driveway on Jefferson Street shall be a minimum of 10 feet and maximum of 24 feet and constructed in accordance with the Standard Construction Specifications in accordance with ADC (b) The structure is of similar size and scale of surrounding buildings, and as much as possible reflects the craftsmanship of those buildings. FINDINGS OF FACT 2.1 Size and Scale. A structure s size is largely a measure of its volume and massing. Scale is the relative or apparent size of a building in relation to its neighbors. Scale is also the apparent size or mass of the building in relation to elements that provide articulation such as windows, doors, cornices, and other features to each other and to the building. The visual impact of size and scale can be mitigated or amplified by other building elements and design details. 2.2 Craftsmanship. The craftsmanship reflected in the construction and architectural details of a building are critical to making a new building consistent with the historic character of surrounding buildings. Craftsmanship is reflected in a variety of building elements such as roofs, windows, and doors. 2.3 Building Size. Accessory structures in the surrounding area range in volume and massing. The proposed 576-square-foot building size is within the size range of other accessory structures adjacent to the property and in the surrounding districts (see Table 1, below). Table 1: Accessory Structures Surrounding Vicinity Address Building Type Building Size Front Setback 405 SE Jefferson Street Detached Garage 576 sq. ft. 33 feet (subject parcel) 327 SE Jefferson Street Detached Garage 320 sq. ft. 59 feet 703 SE 4 th Avenue Detached Garage 960 sq. ft. 20 feet 521 SE 4 th Avenue Detached Garage 280 sq. ft. 40 Feet 621 SE 5 th Avenue Detached Garage 528 sq. ft. 91 feet 627 SE 5 th Avenue Detached Garage 270 sq. ft. 80 feet 715 SE 5 th Avenue Detached Garage 360 sq. ft. 80 feet 2.4 Overall Design and Style. The proposed structure will be 576 square feet (24 x 24 ) with a wall height of ten feet. The street-facing façade (west) will have fir style D grade lap siding and cedar diamond lap pattern siding on the gable with gable end trim that matches the residence (Attachment D.2). The remaining portions of the proposed accessory structure will be finished with six-inch fiber cement lap siding and 12-inch trim. Specific information regarding the trim was not provided. Staff Report/ HI-10-18, Page 3

4 Condition of Approval 2 will ensure that all new six-inch lap siding and 12-inch trim is smooth fiber cement or wood. 2.5 Roof pitch. The proposed roof pitch is approximately 8:12 (Attachment D.3), which is similar to the pitch of comparable accessory structures within the vicinity and within the 4:12 to 8:12 range common within the district. 2.6 Windows. Windows are not proposed to be placed in the new accessory structure. 2.7 Doors. The elevation plan indicates that there will be one vehicle entrance door on the west elevation and one single-swing access door on the north elevation (Attachment D.3). The vehicle entrance door will consist of an eight-foot by 16-foot steel carriage style door (Attachment D.4). The north access door will consist of six-panel steel door. CONCLUSIONS 2.1 The proposed structure is similar in size to surrounding accessory structures. 2.2 The building elements are consistent with the scale and craftsmanship of the other accessory structures in the surrounding area and District. 2.3 The style of the proposed vehicle entrance and access door are compatible with the style of doors in the District. 2.4 Overall, the proposed structure would be similar in scale and reflect the craftsmanship of surrounding accessory structures in the district with the following condition of approval. CONDITIONS Condition 2 Accessory Structure Siding and Trim. All new six-inch lap siding and 12-inch trim shall be smooth fiber cement or wood. (c) Building materials are reflective of and complementary to existing buildings within the district. FINDINGS OF FACT 3.1 Siding. The accessory structure will have six-inch fiber cement lap siding in the same profile as the residence. Condition of Approval 2, above, will ensure that all new six-inch lap siding and 12-inch trim shall be smooth fiber cement or wood. 3.2 Windows. No windows are proposed to be placed in the new accessory structure. 3.3 Doors. Door material is addressed under Criterion (b), above, and the findings, conclusions, and conditions provided are incorporated here by reference. In summary, previous analysis finds that the proposed development will satisfy the above standard as conditioned. CONCLUSIONS 3.1 The lap siding reflects and complements the wood lap siding on buildings in the districts. The proposed building siding and trim materials reflect and complement existing buildings within the district with adherence to Condition 2, under criterion (b), above. 3.2 The doors will reflect and complement the existing buildings in the districts.
