Conceptual Addition Application at 361 Livingston Avenue Continued for Design Revision
The German Village Commission considered a conceptual application for a single-story addition at 361 Livingston Avenue, COA2600563. The applicant proposed constructing an approximately 8ft x 11ft 8in addition on the south elevation, creating a partial second story on a one-story garage and a deck on the remaining second level. Concerns were raised by a commissioner regarding the extent of demolition of the existing masonry wall for the addition, suggesting that the existing opening should be worked with rather than extensively demolished. The applicant proposed a revised design to address this, and the commission agreed to continue the application for further refinement.
German Village Commission Approves Fencing Installation at 710 South Fifth Street with Modifications
The German Village Commission reviewed an application for exterior building alterations at 710 South Fifth Street, COA2600561. The proposal included installing 18-inch high wrought iron fences in existing landscape beds. Staff recommended approval with conditions, including pulling fences back from the street to allow car doors to open, resetting bricks around planting beds, and contacting the Department of Public Service before work commencement. The commission questioned the fence's placement within the right-of-way and the height/design of the finials, requesting they be removed in favor of flat caps to match existing fence styles. The application was approved as amended by the applicant.
German Village Commission Approves Door Replacement at 588 South Third Street with Symmetry Amendment
The German Village Commission reviewed an application for exterior building alterations at 588 South Third Street, COA2600563. The proposal was to replace a non-operable wood door with a new Colby full-light door. Concerns were raised about symmetry, as the existing left door was solid and non-operable, while the proposed right door was full-light. The commission discussed options, including a two-panel glass door, a half-light door, or the full-light door. Ultimately, the commission approved the application with the amendment that the right door would have two glass panels, matching the solid pane door on the left, to maintain facade balance. A negative vote was recorded.
German Village Commission Continues Door and Window Alteration Application at 898 South Third Street Due to Discrepancies
The German Village Commission reviewed an application for exterior alterations at 898 South Third Street, COA2600554. The project involved replacing a non-original door with a new six-panel, half-light door and updating window lentils. Significant discussion revolved around the discrepancy between the original door lintil height and the newly installed window lintils, which were unapproved. The commission identified this as a potential code violation requiring enforcement. The applicant requested to continue the application to address the issues raised, including obtaining accurate drawings and potentially modifying the door installation. The application was continued.
Conceptual Garage Addition at 741 City Park Avenue Continued for Design Refinement
The German Village Commission reviewed an application for conceptual exterior alterations at 741 City Park Avenue, COA2600568. The proposal involved constructing an approximately 300 sq ft addition as a partial second story to a one-story garage, creating an outdoor deck, and using materials to match the existing garage. Staff recommended offering design feedback for further refinement. Commissioners provided feedback on the addition's massing, the exterior stair, window and material choices, and the visibility of the structure. The application was continued to allow the applicant to revise the design based on commission feedback.
