Title
University Heights Historic District - South. Construction of a Duplex (B)
Petition HP-19-00019. Ricardo Cavallino, agent for Rocky Point LLC. Certificate of Appropriateness for new construction of a duplex. Located at 315 SW 12th Street. This building will be a non-contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - South. Related to Petition HP-19-00018.
Explanation
The existing accessory structure located on this site is a contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - South and currently serves as a storage building. The proposal is to demolish the structure to allow space for a new residential building. This project involves the construction of a two-story duplex with Hardi-board siding and a 5V-Crimp metal roof. There will be an open porch on the first and second floor. A staircase will provide access to the second floor unit. The windows will be vinyl frame, double pane, with external mullions (if any) in a one over one pattern. The elevations do not indicate any muntins or mullions. Both dwelling units will be studio type dwellings with a kitchen and a bathroom, 385 square feet per floor. The height of the new structure will be 23 feet, 6 inches to the top of the peak of the roof.
The project proposes demolition of the accessory structure with the salvage and reuse of the brick material in good condition. The recycled brick material will be used for the column pilasters and foundation wall. Additionally, due to the demolition of an existing contributing structure, the site will require a status change. The proposed new duplex to be built on the site of the accessory structure will be non-contributing to the historic district.
