Rear Building Addition – Height Increase                                       AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 2 a.151 W Washington Street
Wiant House
C.O.A. # 22-06                                COMMISSION AGENDA DATE: 11-22-22

STAFF REVIEW: John Sterrett, City Planner             SIGNATURE__________________________

ITEM SUMMARY:
Wiant House Properties, LLC, owner of 151 W Washington Street in the Turner Junction Historic Dis-
trict, is requesting approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness to increase the height of the existing
rear addition to the building known as the Wiant House. The applicant intends to renovate the interior
of the building for a future bakery/café. Included in the renovation is raising the floor within the exist-
ing rear addition so that it is even with the floor of the main structure. Currently, the floor in the exist-
ing rear addition and the floor in the main structure create a split-level floor plan. The back area of the
entire structure will serve as the kitchen and the applicant desires to make this space more functional
by removing the split-level aspect. To do so, the applicant must raise the overall height of the existing
addition on the rear of the building.
The applicant intends to remove the roof of the existing rear addition and will raise the floor and walls
in the existing rear addition to be level with the first floor of the main portion of the Wiant House. A
new roof with a roofline and shingles that match the rear elevation of the Wiant House will be incorpo-
rated into the existing rear building addition. The applicant then intends to install hardwood siding,
painted a dark red, on the raised exterior wall area of the existing building addition, approximately 5
feet. Please see attached detailed scope of work, architectural elevations, renderings, and photos for
additional information.
Staff raised concerns with the applicant that the proposed hardwood, which was originally proposed to
be painted white, will not be consistent with the existing materials on the overall structure. Although
the portion of the building the hardwood is being added to is not the original structure, the new mate-
rial will be publicly visible and may detract from the rest of the structure. The applicant and their con-
tractor, at the suggestion of staff, began investigating using a thin brick veneer that would match the
existing brick on the rear addition. The applicant has indicated that solid brick is not possible because
of structural limitations to the existing rear building addition. Information on the thin brick veneer alter-
native was not yet available as of the writing of this memo.
The Wiant House is considered a candidate for local landmark status and is contributing to the
Turner-Junction Historic District. Constructed in 1869, it consists of the Second Empire architectural
style and was originally the home of Joel Wiant, an early settler of the City. The Wiant House remains
an important historical asset of the Historic District and the City overall.
ACTION PROPOSED:
The HPC is being asked to consider approval of the proposed expansion of the existing rear addition
to the Wiant House with a dark red hardwood siding. The HPC may wish to consider an alternative to
the proposed hardwood, such as thin brick veneer to match the existing brick.

   •  Replace side windows with matching brick (as close as possible)
   •  Replace rear windows with matching cinder block

      window
