• significantly altered through the years. The house was <br />constructed in the Colonial Revival Cottage architectural <br />style, and while some of the original features remain, such <br />as the hipped roof and the boxed eaves, new architectural <br />features not consistent with the style, such as the veneer <br />brick band, sliding windows, entry portico columns, and <br />porch stairs have been added. <br />The relocated house will be in keeping with the size and <br />livable floor space of other nearby residential structures. <br />The house is approximately 850 square feet and consists of <br />three bedrooms, one bath, a great room and kitchen. The <br />relocation of the house will add value to the structure by <br />preserving its architecture and re-establishing structural <br />integrity to the foundation. The location of the house in the <br />front of the lot with the required parking in the rear of the <br />property is consistent with the current development pattern <br />in the neighborhood. <br />2. Will moving or relocation of the residential structure be detrimental, <br />decrease or diminish the value of real properties located adjacent <br />to, or in the immediate vicinity of, the lot or parcel on which the <br />residential structure is proposed to be moved or relocated? <br />• Relocating the house will not be detrimental to, decrease or <br />diminish the value of real properties located adjacent to, or in <br />the immediate vicinity of the lot or parcel on which the <br />residential structure is proposed to be moved or relocated. <br />The presence of vacant sites can be detrimental to the <br />appearance of a neighborhood. This is particularly critical in <br />this neighborhood since it lacks architectural cohesion and <br />generally has a large number of older buildings that are not <br />well maintained. Vacant sites also create a public nuisance <br />and can contribute to the creation of an environment that can <br />be conducive to crime, negatively impacting the adjacent <br />residential uses. The relocation will contribute positively to <br />the neighborhood, as the overall quality and architectural <br />style of the residence is consistent with the existing <br />neighborhood and will add to the overall aesthetic character <br />of the immediate vicinity by completing the development of <br />the block with a house that will be complementary to the <br />existing adjacent residential development. <br />3. Will the move or relocation of the residential structure comply with <br />the regulations and conditions specified in the zoning district in <br />• which the affected lot or parcel is situated? <br />Resolution No. 2011-07 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
