STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING AUGUST 3, 1994 AGENDA ITEM IV-C COA 8-234 319 S . E . 7th AVENUE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, MARINA HISTORIC DISTRICT ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of approval of COA 8-234 for exterior renovations to the second floor of single family residence . BACKGROUND The house was designed by well known Delray Beach architect, Sam Ogren, whose 1926 Delray high school and gym are listed on the National Register of Historic Places . It was built for a member of the Blank family in 1950 . The first floor is c .b.s . construction and the second story, which is located over the double garage, is of frame construction. Mr. Ogren' s original plans called for vertical batten and board siding to be installed on the exterior of the second floor. Either this was never installed or has been replaced, as the present siding is prefab tongue and groove. ANALYSIS Description of the work plan. 1 . The applicant is proposing to remove the center window of the front elevation and install two new double hung wood windows , window openings approximately 30" x 40" . As the proposed windows will be installed in the bathroom area it is impractical to lower them to the height of the original center window. However the proposed windows extend to the height of the original opening, which is to the frieze board. 2 . The center window on the south facade is to be removed. 3 . Textured paint has been applied over part of the exterior fabricated wood paneling. The applicant is requesting approval to install wire lath and stucco over the existing paneling. 4 . The building has been painted pale yellow with white trim. Staff Report COA 8-234 Page 2 Work completed with building permits or COA. 1 . The original window of the front elevation has been removed. 2 . Openings have been cut to accommodate to 2 new windows on the front elevation. 3 . The center window of the south elevation has been removed. 4 . The exterior of the house has been painted pale yellow. Staff comments . 1 . The removal of the center window and the addition of the 2 new windows does not substantially alter the front facade and is consistent with the style of the house. Centering the new window over the garage doors is appropriate. The new fenestration is consistent with Section 4 . 5 . 1 (E) Visual compatibility. Staff recommends that functional wood shutters be installed at these windows for emphasis . Staff also recommends that the plaster mold that runs horizontally above the garage doors be retained and be painted the same color as the house trim to break up the space between the garage doors and the windows . 2 . Removing the center window on the south elevation does not detract from the streetscape and can be considered consistent with Section 4 . 5 . 1 (E) , Visual Compatibility. 3 . Covering the fabricated tongue and groove exterior paneling with plaster is certainly no loss to the aesthetics of the house. Had the owner elected to use the batten and board exterior as the architect intended, a much less generic facade would have resulted. The combination of a smooth plaster finish and the texture of batten and board (typical of Ogren' s contemporary houses) creates an interesting facade element and adds character to the overall design of the house . However, as the originally designed batten and board is no longer existing, if it was ever used, the Board can not request that it be replaced. The use of plaster for the exterior finish is consistent with Section 4 . 5 . 1 (E) . 4 . The exterior paint color is attractive and is within the guidelines . Staff Report COA 8-234 Page 3 ALTERNATIVE ACTION 1 . Continue with direction. 2 . Deny COA 8-234 by failure to make positive findings with respect to Section 4 . 5 . 1 (E) , with reasons stated. 3 . Make positive findings to Section 4 . 5 . 1 (E) and approve COA 8-234 subject to the following conditions : A. That functional wood shutters be added to the two new windows on the front facade. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1 . Make positive findings to Section 4 .5 . 1 (E) and approve COA 8-234 subject to the following conditions : A. That functional wood shutters be added to the two new windows on the front facade . - • • -- , L } `• • - p % to ' • • — r i , ► r .
