Welcome to today's session of the historical and architectural review board.

First on the agenda is a call to order.

Call to order.

Next is a pledge of allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible liberty and justice for all.

Great.

Okay.

Next order of business is approval of meeting minutes for the October 1st meeting.

Do I have a motion to approve?

Motion to motion second.

All in favor.

Aye.

Passes.

Great.

Now we can get into applications for board review.

We just have one tonight.

Build a new two-car garage with a living space.

If you'd like to present your proposal.

And yeah, do we have the AV going?

We should.

We do.

We're ready.

Go for it.

All right.

So the proposal is for a new two-car garage.

It's replacing an older garage that's very inconvenient conveniently located at the very back of the site.

So this is the current existing house.

So here's the site plan.

You can see this is the existing house.

Here's the right-of-way line here.

And this is where we're proposing the new garage.

So it's 141 plus feet from the face of the garage to the right-of-way line.

And it's set 36 and a half feet from the face of the garage to the rear line of the existing house.

And the old garage would be the back.

Oh, yeah, sorry, and this is the old garage.

And then we're getting rid of all this extra asphalt back here.

So just some existing context.

Other face front-facing garages.

Here's the existing house.

So some of the details we want to pick up in the proposed design for the garage are things like the cedar siding, you know, the cedar detailing along the gable.

And then they have this the house has kind of unique windows here.

You can see it maybe a little bit better over here, but it's basically eight over one window lights.

So that's kind of what's happening with the new garage.

So here's the elevations for the proposal.

Again, here's the window that we're trying to replicate from the original house with the shutters.

And then we're doing a standing seam metal roof over the garage doors, which matches the front of the house that has that over the porch, as well as some um bay windows.

And then we have kind of these decorative brackets at the pent roof, and those match uh what's happening on the side of the house.

Um this is really the only face of the garage that you'll see from the street.

Um you've probably gone by the site and know that you know there's kind of a steep grade, and then it flattens out, so the garage is kind of at the back of the flat part.

So it's it's pretty far set back from the street line.

And then here's the rendering.

Um standing seam metal roof, and then because we're doing some living space above the garage space, um, we're doing the shed dormers, which obviously you we see all over Wayne.

And that's it.

Okay, thank you.

Um I can start.

So in general, I don't have any issue with uh sort of a front-facing garage, sort of behind the house that is gonna be partially visible from the street, but you know, it's it's sort of set back.

Um I like the the window detail up top, sort of matching the house.

Also the standing seam roof inclusion again, sort of matching the elements of the house.

Um I do have a little bit of issue with the size of the shed dormers.

Um obviously there are plenty of shed dormers throughout South Wayne Avenue, but typically the top of the shed dormer does not go all the way up to the roof ridge.
