Title
Construct an Addition to a Single-Family Dwelling (B)
Petition HP-19-00044. Chris and Darlene Fillie, Darling Homes. Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of an addition to a single-family house. Located at 710 NW 3rd Street. This building is a contributing structure to the Pleasant Street Historic District.
Explanation
The existing house is a one-story, “Cracker Style” house with novelty siding, a brick pier foundation, a 5-V metal roof and 2/2 simple fixed upper and lower latch windows. According to the Florida Master Site File, the house is a building that contributes in scale and character to the Fifth Avenue neighborhood. The house appears on the 1913 Sanborn map and has survived through the years in nearly unaltered condition. It is valuable to the neighborhood because of its lack of additions.
The applicant is proposing to add an addition of approximately 414 square feet to the side rear of the 903 square foot house. The addition will match the original structure and provide elements that will make the house suitable for family living, such as two new bedrooms. The addition will match the existing house with all of the architectural elements including novelty siding, brick piers, a 5-V Crimp metal roof and new 2/2 double-hung windows.
Recommendation

1. Windows shall utilize the Simulate Divided Light grilles for the chosen 2x2 grille pattern.
2. Provide information sheets for the proposed windows and roofing material.
