DISCUSSION:
Site Plan
This is a proposal to allow the constructio~ of an approximate 220-square-
foot porch in front and the addition of foCr parking spaces on the side of
the existing structure. The applicant is presently renovating the interior for
her general contractor office.
There is a proposed 12'-wide drive, leadi~
to the west, where it will be widened to
the west property line. This will allow ad
cars to exit the area. An exception to the
to accommodate this driveway width, a
development is 20'. This has been noted
reasonable request due to this being a
serving a few parking spaces. There are

proposed with the improvements along Bethel Road. The applicant is
dedicating 950-sq. ft right-of-way to accommodate these improvements.
Landscaping Plan and Tree Survey
The landscaping is in compliance with the requirements of the Historic
district. The applicant is screening the parking area with five Dwarf
Bufford Hollies, three Japanese Barberrie~ and three Bar Harbor Junipers.
Because the applicant is only developing the front portion of the lot, the
back open space was not included withii~ the Tree Survey or Landscape
Plan. There are 13 existing trees on this t~ont portion, and the applicant is
proposing to add two trees along Bethel Road. These are proposed to be
Lacebark Elms and will match with what has already been incorporated in
the Bethel Road Constriction Plans. There is a 27" Post Oak on the north
end of the parking row, and the applicant'i is proposing a Crape Myrtle on
the south end, fulfilling the interior landscaping requirement.
Elevations / Signage
The height of the proposed porch is 12'i and is in compliance with the
maximum allowable height of 35'. Staff has worked closely with the
applicant in the design of the porch cover and pergola. The proposed wood
and stone structure is 9.5' long and 23.5' wide and includes a gable with
the same pitch as the main structt~re and a pergola extending
approximately 4.5' on each side from thei end of the gable. Yellow is the
primary color with white as an accent. The stone is located at the base of
the columns and planter boxes. Modification to the existing structure is
minimal (a decorative gable removed ~rom above the existing porch,
shutters will be painted black, windows replaced, and a handicap ramp
will be added to the rear entry).
The sign area depicted is 8" wide by 3' lo~3g. The sign will read "Vaughan
Construction Inc." and will be hanging fr~m the proposed porch structure.
It is black painted wood and is proposed io have four-inch white lettering.
No monument sign is permitted.
