Applicant Bridall Portree and homeowners Forrest and Ashley Wilson presented plans that included a roughly 500-square-foot side addition (first-floor bedroom for aging-in-place), removal of some pavers, new lighting fixtures, selective demolition of an existing side addition, and facade treatments including brick veneer and paint removal. Staff recommended continuing most of the work so the design team could revise the addition’s massing, roof form and material palette; staff noted the project should remain visually subordinate to the historic primary structure and that additions normally are located at rear elevations where possible.

Commissioners said the current proposals risked making the addition appear as an independent structure rather than a secondary attachment. Concerns focused on the addition’s width relative to the house, a large gable/roof area that increased perceived mass, and the planned use of heavier materials such as brick veneer that might dominate the composition. Commissioners suggested several possible approaches to make the addition subordinate: reduce width or height, alter roof pitch, simplify roof lines, match siding and window proportions to the existing house, or reduce the amount of brick and use siding that reads as secondary.

Because the proposed work touches many elements of the property and because the addition’s scale and placement are central to those questions, the commission continued the entire application to allow the applicant to return with a single refined plan. The applicant was advised to submit revised materials quickly if they hoped to be heard at the next meeting. The commission indicated it could be open to a side addition if the design clearly established the new work as secondary and compatible with the original house.

The item was continued to the May 7 meeting with a request for a single consolidated design package rather than multiple alternate options.","A proposed side addition and related exterior renovations at 628 NW 16th Street were continued to May 7. Commissioners and staff said the addition, as drawn, risked overwhelming the historic house and asked the applicant to revise massing, roof form and materiality to make the addition visibly subordinate to the original structure.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6606094,"Contested two‑story garage at 442 NW 20th continued after neighbors and commission disagree",3077,3314000,6391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2979499-a3e4ee83719e37ecc0943219cdc58e60&start=3314&end=6391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2979499-a3e4ee83719e37ecc0943219cdc58e60/thumbnail_3314000.jpg","/articles/6606094/Oklahoma/Contested-twostory-garage-at-442-NW-20th-continued-after-neighbors-and-commission-disagree","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6606094-05935188d66f778d89dfc2c753779a9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171822&Signature=AOlF2~9rc649s5bbxAkh3ZQey6j8S7YXTixBt9gH8OuqQm7QSrNpMA9bNM9A3o99Fxfqv4ZZXS2P6esx~twSLiSVbXykN6zpCdtZA2XQNat7GQY1TKXc4ijCZC-vihST3~Ln9rs0M6QTHvmMJPbp~njxgXDWjAm~xPP3eYMzO366zog9G~dadWMG~xHYRrAjMWgIRZQZvl5UzhnTeFfCMCthigwl61hzGey29Df-OV9w~H5etmTQ3iIGNnDZrfWg0OqnYAeDnyBZX44pZVEcd2A~kNZEVy4HOibNuqQYV2v60F9LzfhvsxN8fLV~x80NYk2Gg0IcCgLiN-rS6BBzaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission continued consideration of an application to demolish a one‑story garage and construct a two‑story garage at 442 NW 20th Street after residents and commissioners raised concerns about scale, neighborhood precedent and sightlines.

Applicant Jeff Blake and homeowner Bailey Sparrow had proposed demolishing the existing roughly 450-square-foot garage and replacing it with a new structure that would increase the footprint and include a second floor. Staff noted the existing garage was in poor structural condition and that the proposed design matched many guideline details, but it also exceeded the commission’s typical 450-square-foot benchmark for new garages and would increase visibility for adjacent neighbors.

Multiple neighbors spoke in opposition. Chris Stevens, who lives across the street, said the present garage was functional and maintained and that the record did not clearly show the existing space could not accommodate the owner’s vehicles. Marva Ellard and other neighbors pointed out that, although a partially below‑grade two‑story garage exists nearby, it reads as a one‑story from much of the block; several speakers urged the commission to treat the block as having predominantly one‑story garages. Neighbors raised privacy and scale concerns about windows on an upper story looking into adjacent yards.

Commissioners and staff discussed the guideline language: when photographic or documentary evidence exists of a historic garage, a replacement should approximate that historic building; two‑story replacements are considered only when the original garage was two‑story or where two‑story garages are dominant or budding on the block. Commissioners said the presence of a partly below‑grade two‑story structure nearby did not necessarily justify a two‑story replacement here. Some commissioners said they were comfortable with demolition given the structural condition, but not with approving a two‑story replacement. Others were more open but noted strong neighborhood opposition.

After discussion, the commission voted to continue the application to the May 7 meeting and asked the applicant to provide revised materials by April 15 if he wished to remain on the May 7 agenda. Staff suggested options the applicant might pursue, including reducing the proposal to a one‑story replacement with a slightly larger footprint (a common compromise), or returning with clearer evidence justifying a two‑story replacement.

The continued item will return to the commission for further review on May 7, 2025, or the applicant may revise the proposal and submit new documentation for staff review beforehand.","A proposal to demolish an existing one‑story garage at 442 NW 20th Street and replace it with a two‑story garage was continued to May 7 after strong neighborhood opposition and commissioners’ concerns about scale, precedent and visibility.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6606100,"Historic Preservation Commission denies siding, column and window changes for Paseo house",1435,320000,1755000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2979499-a3e4ee83719e37ecc0943219cdc58e60&start=320&end=1755","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2979499-a3e4ee83719e37ecc0943219cdc58e60/thumbnail_320000.jpg","/articles/6606100/Oklahoma/Historic-Preservation-Commission-denies-siding-column-and-window-changes-for-Paseo-house","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6606100-2448d35117a2e83a49bf5873fd92ded1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171822&Signature=PF94s76r11PPNPBeelTtx1ez-~DAxj-gtwTlrcW~1dJMN8uRPu8a4hYD-jeq3mMiKe841HF73vzM9~PdAstwRDYHyMKE~Slo~h8q3Hhv5HIgGnlr9Y4fPNII2Ty0lppuiRbf2GXQIKAmGNmcMlRkzeZlSznqfY7e5Rh22vpjoqelyrGC34HwXolGm2UWVfsc2mwFkEeN-R5tgaUbPmtu-mNEBTGhUx1~EuSSjCQuvHmCCCAwyE21V9UalVkCv80hUy-kQdORGeDxMr4CK6ke1vaycrlqluY9MqFjDBRWsilJcAr-s9ZfzU4cL4IT333een~J7gPhMqDdb2x58JR~NA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission denied an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to alter the exterior of 525 NW 20th Street, ruling the proposal out of step with preservation guidelines.

The commission voted to deny HPCA-24-0106 after hearing from applicant Sean Lawrence, who said he bought the house in poor condition and proposed fiber-cement (Hardie) siding, wrapped porch columns and leaving several previously enclosed windows unrestored. The applicant said underlying wood siding was largely rotted or missing and argued Hardie would be longer-lasting than wood.

Commission staff had recommended denial unless the applicant could meet conditions to bring the work into conformance: documentation showing original wood siding was beyond repair, reinstatement or compatible replacement of enclosed windows, and revised porch column designs that matched historic proportions or used approved substitute materials. Staff and several commissioners said the guidelines generally require replacement-in-kind with wood siding for historic structures and do not support reinstalling vinyl siding. Commissioners noted the house showed multiple previous alterations and that some work had been performed without prior approval.

During discussion, the applicant said he preferred Hardie over new wood because of cost and durability. Commissioners acknowledged the material performance argument but emphasized their duty to enforce the written preservation guidelines unless a clear, documented unique circumstance justified an exception. Several commissioners said the missing documentation and the scope of unpermitted work made them unwilling to approve the application.

After deliberation, a commissioner moved to deny the application “with prejudice.” The motion was seconded and the commission cast votes; the chair announced that the item had been denied with prejudice.

The denial means the applicant cannot proceed with the proposed siding, column wrapping or leaving enclosed windows sealed as presented. The commission suggested the applicant document the condition of any underlying historic siding, provide measured drawings for replacement porch columns that match the historic district character or use approved alternate materials in a form indistinguishable from historic columns, and, if feasible, reinstate windows removed without prior approval. The file will reflect that the commission is open to reconsideration only if the applicant returns with documentation and a design that conforms to the guidelines.

The commission also reminded applicants that Certificates of Appropriateness must be obtained before construction and that a 10-day protest period follows approval before permits can be issued.","The Oklahoma City Historic Preservation Commission denied an application to alter siding, porch columns and enclosed windows at a Paseo-area house at 525 NW 20th Street, citing departures from preservation guidelines and unapproved work already completed.","actionData","errors"]
