The Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission approved multiple certificates of appropriateness and took several procedural votes during its April 16 meeting.
Key approvals: the commission approved staff recommendations or motions for the following items: - 1209 Scenic Drive: staff recommended approval of a new front driveway using an existing curb cut; the neighborhood representative raised no objection and the commission approved the COA by voice vote. - 305 East Scott Avenue: the commission approved a second‑story rear addition and exterior rehab subject to final window specifications and mortar details; commissioners also authorized the applicant the option to add dental molding on the addition. - 505 East Scott Avenue: commissioners approved replacement of nonoriginal beadboard and trim with new wood board‑and‑batten siding (wood required) and required the proposed door→window change to come back to staff for approval. - 2038 Jefferson Avenue: staff recommended approval of an after‑the‑fact review for a demolished contributing garage and associated shed/deck/driveway work, requiring the shed cladding to match the house and final details to be approved by staff; the commission approved the COA. - 621 Eleanor Street (4th & Gill): staff found the existing shed structurally unsound and recommended demolition; commissioners approved replacement with a similarly scaled wood board‑and‑batten shed as submitted. - 616 Luttrell Street: commission approved a new recessed sunroom, carport and secondary shed subject to site, engineering and zoning standards and lap siding on the shed to match the primary structure.
Postponements and denials: the commission postponed the 2112 Jefferson (Edgewood Park City) siding case for 30 days to allow the applicant to attend following an agenda rearrangement, and postponed the larger Fort Sanders 1803 Clinch Avenue new‑building application for 30 days to allow the applicant to submit revisions after debate about massing.
Votes at a glance (select outcomes): - Scenic Drive (1209 Scenic Drive): approved (motion passed by voice vote). - 305 East Scott (rear addition): approved with condition and option to add dental molding (motion passed). - 505 East Scott (carriage house siding): approved as board‑and‑batten wood replacement; door→window change to staff (motion passed). - 2112 Jefferson: postponed 30 days (motion passed).
Several items were administrative or level‑1 approvals reported by staff. Where applications were postponed or denied, staff recommended next steps to the applicants and noted requirements for permits, COAs and engineering review where applicable.
The commission adjourned after handling all docketed cases.
