Hi there- sorry for the delay in getting final answers to you. Here they are. With this, please feel free to submit
for your building permit (I don’t remember if you’ve done pre-submittal with Building yet or not, but please
coordinate with them.)
1. In the building permit, please carry forward the representation that the driveway will be gravel tracks set
in grass, leading to a small flagstone patio at the front of the house.
2. In the building permit, please provide more detail on the vertical siding for the addition, clarifying
whether it will be T&G or butt jointed vertical boards. Please clarify the width of the vertical boards,
which should be similar to the exposure of the clapboards on the historic resource.
3. In the building permit, please clearly detail how historic materials will be retained on the upper level of
the northeast façade, while accommodating the doors and windows being added at the new bedroom
deck.
4. In the building permit, please carry forward the representations below regarding approved garage
fenestration.

Hi everyone!
For some reason it seems that this email did not get through on september the 21 please
recieve these answers . attached as well you wil find a presentation that includes answers
Sorry for the small text please see our clarifications below:
"The notes/drawings labels on your attached restudy are largely unreadable. Can you please
clarify what the material is for the driveway and driving tracks? "
The idea is to use gravel for the driving tracks surrounded by native seed grass
reducing hard escape to protect blue spruce. We think that continuing the flagstone
used around the other parts of the landscaping is consistent with what hpc has already
approved and is the material we would use for the space in front of the south facing
bedrooms.
"On the revised east elevation of the addition, please confirm that you will retain the little bit of
horizontal siding on upper floor of historic part of the building. "
Confirmed, we will use wood from the historic resource, the wood will be horizontal,
historic, and reused from the existing resource.
"What is the finish for the vertical siding on the new addition? Will you apply vertical siding on
the west elevation, where you are making about a 4’ addition? "
The siding on the addition will be vertical wood. The wood will be painted or stained
wood, consistent with the historic resource. to match existing restored siding
Thanks

Hi there- thank you for the revisions. I will be forwarding these to the project monitors to get you final
sign off for permit submittal. I do need a few clarifications please.
The notes/drawings labels on your attached restudy are largely unreadable. Can you please clarify what
the material is for the driveway and driving tracks?
Thank you for eliminating the proposed stone on the buildings. On the revised east elevation of the addition,
please confirm that you will retain the little bit of horizontal siding on upper floor of historic part of the
building. What is the finish for the vertical siding on the new addition? Will you apply vertical siding on the
west elevation, where you are making about a 4’ addition?
Look forward to hearing back!

Amy,
Please see the attached presentation, detailing compliance with Historic Preservation Design Guidelines.
The updates incorporate the remaining staff and monitor feedback:
a two track driveway, emphasizing soft scape in front of the resource, but meeting city parking
requirements
the historic resource addition is clad in vertical wood, in character with the historic resource
the garage is stucco, consistent with the overall material palette for the historic resource and addition
The above design moves are consistent with the conditions set forth by staff and monitor. Therefore, staff
and monitor approval is requested.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey

Hello- I have met with the monitors on your project and went over the conditions that need
to be reviewed by them.
Necking down the driveway to remove the encroachment over the neighbor’s property is
approved, as is the elimination of landscape in front of the historic garage in favor of
movable planters that you may place on the surface of the driveway.
The simplified window design for the garage is approved, as is filling in the southeast corner
that was previously shown as a notch out of the footprint of the garage.
Paving the driveway with flagstone is not approved. The original plan to have paved
driveway tracks set in a field of a softer material, like gravel or something compacted, is the
preference.
The use of stone on the addition to the historic house and on the garage are not approved.
The monitors and I feel that it is out of character with the historic resource and complicating
the material palette by introducing this on the small addition to the rear of the resource.
Please restudy the material selection again. Options that might be approved on the house
include vertical wood siding, stucco that is scored in a way that reflects the siding or some
other aspect of the historic part of the building, or another alterative that meets the goal of
relating to the resource, but subtlety distinguishing new from old.
The garage is preferred to be stucco as originally proposed.
You do have the option of approaching the full board with these requests. That would be
scheduled at the start of a regular meeting. At the moment that cannot be scheduled until
Oct. 25th, so we are a ways out.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
