AHBR 24-65

136 Hudson Street (Historic District) Addition (Bedroom, Laundry, Family Room & Screened Porch) Submitted by Fred Margulies, Architect a) At the February 28, 2024 AHBR meeting, the Board requested the assistance of Perspectus to review the proposed plans. b) Perspectus provided a report (in the attachments). The applicant did submit changed to the proposed design based on the report comments. c) Staff notes the consultant recommended the addition inset from the east elevation to allow the existing house to be distinguished from the addition. The current design does not include this change. Additionally, the existing material is wood and the applicant is proposing hardi on the addition, causing a material change on the same wall plane. Suggest the addition be inset to address this comment. d) The consultant recommends a simplified window design. Staff recommends a more simplified double hung window for all elevations. e) The consultant recommends the clerestory type windows be redesigned to show two or three one over one double hung windows evenly spaced out. Staff notes the current design will match the existing high windows. f) The Architectural Design Standards state siding should be blended across a fa�ade, rather than patch areas. Revise plans to note new siding will be feathered in at the east elevation where the side door will be removed.
