III. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. “Sammuel Hart, Jr. House” (1813)
Certificate of Appropriateness as to Exterior Features
Alterations of Existing Structure – Addition
64 Cromwell Place (Map 32/ Lot 18)
Applicant/Agent: Carter S. Gowrie III & Deborah K. Gowrie, Owners
Denise Von Dassel of KV Designs presented the site plan, photos and architectural plans and explained how the new 8’ x 44’ open front porch would be added to the existing home. She explained that they would be applying for a variance due to the fact that the home already is outside of the setback lines and in order for the porch to be esthetically pleasing from the road it would need to be built the length of the front of the house which would encroach upon the setback lines. It was agreed that the porch would need to run the entire length of the house in order to keep with the original symmetry if the existing structure. Robert Wendler suggested adding lattice along the base of the front of the porch rather than leaving it open.
MOTION to approve as appropriate consistent with the symmetry of the existing structure and the traditional street line found in the North Cove Historical District
for the “Sammuel Hart, Jr. House” (1813) 64 Cromwell Place (Map 32/ Lot 18)
