Title
Rehabilitation of a relocated house (B)
Petition HP-15-71. Howard Mclean, agent for John Fleming. Rehabilitate a single-family dwelling after relocation to 514 SW 10th Street from the adjacent 508 SW 10th Street. This building is a contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - South.
Explanation
This project involves the rehabilitation of a single-family dwelling that will be relocated from 508 SW 10th Street to 514 SW 10th Street. The structure to be rehabilitated is currently located at 508 SW 10th Street. The structure was built in 1956, according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers Office. The property is zoned RH-2 and is approximately 0.13 acres in size. The building is a contributing structure to the University Heights South Historic District. The proposal is to rehabilitate the house after it is relocated to the adjacent property to the south at 514 SW 10th Street.
The plans for the rehabilitation involve changing the orientation of the house from east/west to north/south. A new door opening will be placed on the new west face of the building, replacing the existing window and relocating the window to the south side of the west face in order to save it. The porch will be extended across the new west facade. The roof as well will be extended from the existing porch roof and wraparound the new north elevation, the entire new west elevation and part of the new south elevation. The existing architectural elements will be extended to the west facade.
