BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-43 was submitted on April 29,
2013 by the owners Richard and Julie Payne to renovate the house at 900 East
Worth Street and update it for modern living. The house was built in 1958 by J. J.
Daniels for the Joe Box family. The property contains an additional lot with pool

Working with Historic Preservation staff, the owner has developed a proposed
new plan for the existing garage to serve as a home office, laundry room, walk-in

pantry and storage room. A bathroom accessible to the pool area would also be
added. The new construction garage will be a side entry (no front entry). The rear
`Y yard will have the patio rebuilt to strengthen; a covered walkway to the new
garage will tie in and match the existing roofing; and similar to the front porch
columns are being sought for the covered walkway.

answer the Commissioner's questions. Commissioner Margaret Telford
questioned the access to the garage; Mr. Payne answered this was the purpose
of the covered walkway and the plans also included an egress from bedroom for
the rear exit to exterior. This would move a door opening location and reuse the
original door for this exit.
Mr. Payne shared they were repairing the original marble tiles, keeping the
original hardwood floors, removing where glued down flooring had been added
and replacing to match the existing hardwood. He further explained they were
saving the retro O'Keefe and Merritt stove for a soda shop look, re -using the
original bay window and having the vintage Fisher built-in stereo system
repaired.
Mr. Payne said he would file for a separate Certificate of Appropriateness
approval for the replacement windows saying it was hard to find windows that
were not the modern Low -E windows due to modern energy requirements.
Double pane windows will allow him to remove the added storm windows.
Commissioner Telford commended Mr. Payne saying she appreciated his
presenting all renovations for approval. Vice -Chairman Derr called for more
questions. Mr. Payne asked about approvals and if he would need to come back.
David Klempin answered yes, he would need go through the Certificate of
Appropriateness process for the brick matching and the windows; Vice -Chairman
Derr assured Mr. Payne he and David should continue to work together.

Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-44 was submitted on April 29,
2013 by owner Colin Mc Dermott to construct a new 1'/ story Bungalow -style
house with detached garage to serve as the primary residence for his family. The
first floor of the house contains a family room, dining room, study, master
bedroom with bath, and a powder room. The second floor contains three
bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house has been designed following the
Design Guidelines established for the property and is to follow the criteria of the
proposed amendments to the Preservation ordinance for the Historic Township
properties.
This site was the former location of the Jesse Crowley House built in 1946.
Certificate of Appropriateness #CA09-36 was submitted on July 8, 2009 by then
owner Bruce Cureton who was approved to demolish the Jesse Crowley house
and to construct a new 1'/ story Bungalow -style house for his family with the
conditions: wood windows and doors be used and all exterior materials, finishes
and paint colors would be staff approved under a separate Certificate of

David Klempin asked the Commissioners to note side elevation A-3, the tall roofs
step back before coming on up; Mr. McDermott had met all of the criteria for the
proposed amendment now before Council.
Vice -Chairman Derr asked the context of the houses next door; David answered
both were 25 feet back and the Guidelines read to "maintain existing setback".
Commissioner Margaret Telford asked what was on the east side and if the
proposed would be between two one-story homes; David answered yes it would
be. The builder, Neal Cooper, stated the setback had been adjusted to a 30 foot
setback by the Board of Zoning Appeals; there was access for a rear entry drive
but the owner had chosen a front access drive to leave more room in the rear
yard for children to play.
Commissioner Telford said the roof looked puffed up as though ready to explode;
she also asked if trees would be removed for the driveway and was told no, it
would go through the trees. She asked why the roofline had to go that high.
Vice -Chairman Derr answered for function to get the roofline ridge high enough.
David said the architect had definitely tried to observe every step to meet the
criteria of the proposed amendment. David said "but if it does not work, it does
not work." Commissioner Ware added the roof is a trapezoid and this was not a
dimensional drawing. David Klempin read a property notification letter from the
next door neighbor in approval of the proposed house plans.
Margaret Telford moved to close the public hearing. R. Lee. Derr seconded the
motion which prevailed in the following vote:
