two -car detached garage with workshop. The existing 1,390 square foot house was
constructed in 1965 as a speculative house. It was purchased and briefly owned by
local physician Dr. Carlton Pittard as an investment rental property. Through the years
the house had many owners, serving primarily as rental property. The house is currently
in poor condition.
Robert M. and Janet Green purchased the house in February 2020 to serve as their
family home. Plans were prepared by Scott Buchanan Designs for a renovation,
addition and new detached garage. Further inspection of the existing house by a
structural engineer confirmed the concrete slab foundation had failed and was not
stable to allow for the proposed renovation project and the new addition. Attached
documentation from the engineer and letter with evaluation and photographs from the
applicant were included in the agenda packets.
The owners requested the Commission approve demolition of the existing house and
foundation to construct a new 2,876 square foot house and addition to replicate the
original house, and to construct a new 817 square foot two -car detached garage with
workshop. A variance is required to combine the areas of the allowed 500 square foot
garage, the 200 square foot storage building, and 117 square feet of living area from the
house. The lot is 15,725 square feet in size, with adequate space to allow for the
proposed detached structure. The Director of the Convention & Visitors Bureau, the
Director of Development Services and the Historic Preservation Officer recommended
the variance to combine the square footage be granted. The proposed house living area
including the one -car attached garage is 2,876 square feet in size. The building height is

HPC 05/27.20
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA20-31 was submitted on April 22, 2020 by
Fabien Goury to remove the existing canvas awnings and replace them with a flat
projecting wood awning above the existing transom windows on the front facade of the
building, with the design to match the appearance of the flat awning at 318 South Main
Street Chez Fabien Bistro; and to install a wood casement window, opening inward, to
the right of the entry door, to allow outside walk-up service from the coffee and pastry
counter; with the condition a permit be obtained from the Building Department and all
exterior materials, finishes, paint colors, doors and hardware, windows and exterior light
fixtures are required to be approved on a separate Certificate(s) of Appropriateness.
Mr. Goury is in the process of adapting the Bakery and Bistro restaurant to follow the
square footage requirements brought about by the COVID-19 State and County
regulations; and to make the bakery visually more open to the street, he wants to
remove the enclosing canvas awnings which cover the transom windows and to replace
them with a flat wood awning above the transom windows. This would create more
visual openness and allow more natural light inside the building. To open up more floor
space in the bakery side of the business, he plans to relocate the pastry counter to the
opposite wall, to align with the coffee and beverage counter. To better serve customers
he proposes to add to the right of the entry door, an outside walk-up service window in
the storefront to allow employees to deliver food and beverage orders to customers
outside the building and to the servers of the sidewalk diners.
