SPR 2022-04 – 922 and 922 ½ S. Birch Street October 10, 2022 Page 2 2 9 7 1 The overall scope of work includes reconstructing and expanding an existing 372- square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) by approximately 464 square feet to accommodate two bedrooms, and a larger living room, bathroom, and kitchen. The modified ADU will be reconstructed to meet current ADU setback requirements, with a minimum side yard setback of five feet. In addition, the applicant proposes to construct a new detached two-car garage, 440 square feet in size, to be located towards the rear of the property, adjacent to an existing rear alley. Lastly, the site would be improved by the removing existing chain-link fencing, the demolition of an existing patio cover and shed, demolition of existing laundry room, and by the installation of new landscaping, to include new turf, trees, and shrubs. The overall architectural style is also proposed to be altered to be consistent with the new residential addition, which is proposed to be designed in a Craftsman architectural style. The new residential design would feature a low pitched, front-gabled roof design with a full-width, broad front entry porch with battered (tapered) supports/columns with masonry siding. The roof is proposed to be clad in composition asphalt shingles while the rest of the residence is proposed to be clad in a combination of wood lap siding and wood shingle exteriors at the gable-ends. The residence would feature broad, open eaves, decorative attic vents, and exposed structural members such as rafter tails and knee braces. Two large fixed wood windows and a single-hung window would define the front (east) elevation. Along the north, south, and west elevation the residence would feature a combination of single-hung and fixed wood windows. All the proposed windows feature divided lights, decorative wood trim, and extended lintels. The proposed ADU addition and detached garage would feature the same siding and design as the residence, including composition roof, wood lap siding, wood shingle, decorative attic vents, and wood windows.
