bay window, and the varied second floor building mass elements provide sufficient variety in design to avoid monotony in the external appearance. B. The size and design of the structure shall be considered for the purpose of determining that the structure is in proportion to its building site and that it has a balance and unity among its external features so as to present a harmonious appearance; The proposed addition would result in a two-story 1,800 square foot single-family home. The home would meet all of the required development standards including lot coverage, building height, and setbacks, which ensures that the proposed structure is in proportion with the building site. The addition would be compatible with the existing two-story garage/ADU on the project site. The consistency in the exterior materials and matching roof forms of the first and second story present a harmonious external appearance. C. The extent to which the structure conforms to the general character of other structures in the vicinity insofar as the character can be ascertained and is found to be architecturally desirable; The proposed residence is required to be compatible with the character of Mezesville Historic District. The project would replace the wood siding with stucco cladding, replace the brick base with stone veneer, and match the gabled roof slope and roofing materials of the existing house. The architectural style and exterior materials are architecturally desirable and compatible with the character of the neighborhood. The proposed vinyl windows are compatible with other non- contributing structures within the district. D. The extent to which excessive ornamentation is to be used and the extent to which temporary and second-hand materials, or materials which are imitative of other materials, are to be used; The home would have minimal ornamentation in keeping with the Mezesville Historic District, which has been characterized as a workingman's neighborhood with modest homes. While the proposed project includes stone veneer materials, they are utilized in a minimal way to provide building accents.\ E. The extent to which natural features, including trees, shrubs, creeks, and rocks, and the natural grade of the site are to be retained; ATTY/RESO.0087/PR RESO APPROVING ARCHITECTURAL PERMIT -735 HOPKINS REV: 09-11-17 PR Page 3 of 6
