Commission approves new garage and demolition at 219 Riverview Drive with material conditions
Summary
The Historic Resources Commission approved COA2400567 to replace a non‑historic carport with a 24x24 garage at 219 Riverview Drive, accepting wood‑shake style shingles and requiring confirmation of siding, tree species, and light fixtures.
The Historic Resources Commission voted to approve an application to demolish an existing non‑historic wood carport and construct a new 24‑by‑24 garage at 219 Riverview Drive, with conditions related to siding, roof pitch, light fixtures and replacement plantings.
Staff described the existing wood carport as a noncontributing structure and said the applicant proposed a new garage with paired overhead vehicle doors, smooth siding and roof shingles intended to match the historic character of the main house. Staff recommended approval of COA2400567, citing city code standards for site improvements, reconstruction and demolition and the guidelines on outbuildings and lighting.
At the commission’s business meeting members asked the applicant to confirm the garage roof pitch to better match the main house, to specify the new tree species proposed to replace a removed tree, and to select simple light fixtures that would not compete with the house’s design. The applicant submitted revised drawings before the meeting showing two individual overhead doors, a revised light fixture, and a siding cut sheet; staff reported those materials during the hearing.
A motion to approve COA2400567 carried unanimously. The approval included a note that staff will confirm the siding will be smooth, the overhead doors avoid full wood grain finish, the roof pitch is compatible with the primary residence, and the applicant will identify the replacement tree species on the site plan before issuance of a subcertificate.
