Commission approves carriage-style garage door at 234 Fourth Avenue North
Summary
The commission approved a certificate of appropriateness to replace a retrofitted French door with a carriage-style steel overhead garage door at 234 Fourth Avenue North, finding the design compatible with nearby historic examples.
The Historic Zoning Commission approved replacement of a retrofitted French door with a steel overhead carriage-style garage door at 234 Fourth Avenue North on May 12, finding the proposed panel design and 16-light window pattern compatible with nearby historic buildings.
Emily, the planning staff member, explained the property is a 1-story veneered building with Tudor-influenced details in the Downtown Franklin National Register Historic District and that the circa-1970 concrete-block accessory building is non-contributing. Staff reported the Design Review Committee reviewed the proposal in April and that the carriage-style overhead door is seen elsewhere on the street and maintains a similar appearance to nearby historic buildings; staff recommended approval with conditions.
A motion to approve the garage door with conditions passed by voice vote. The applicant and contractor indicated they would follow staff conditions.
