The recommendation for approval is based on the following: The proposed changes meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards of Rehabilitation and the Country Club Plan of Treatment. ## Conditions of Approval: Any changes to the approved elevations or materials will need to be submitted to staff for review. An as-built date plaque be installed on the exterior of the new garage. ## Information/Background: The subject property, 4521 Drexel Avenue, is located on the east side of Drexel Avenue, north of Bridge Street and south of Sunnyside Drive. The existing home on the lot is a two-story New England Colonial Revival home built in 1924. The applicant’s proposal is for a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of an existing detached garage and the construction of a new detached garage. The newly constructed garage is slightly larger than the existing garage and placed in a similar location. The height and size of the proposed garage have been approved through a reasonable accommodation request and are not subject to HPC review or comment for this project. The proposed building materials include smooth lap siding, asphalt shingles and standing seam roofing. Each side of the proposed garage has a decorative feature (windows). Update: Staff have removed the previous condition stating “The proposed standing seam metal awning for the lower accent roof should be replaced with a complementary material, such as shingles”. Based on further conversations with the Applicant and City Consultants, Staff believes the proposed metal awning is appropriate for detached garage and aligns with metal roofing on the existing home and on other properties in the County Club district.
