Item #A
MACON-BIBB CO. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 28, 2013
I T E M N U M B E R –A – CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS – DEFERRED ITEM
246 BUFORD PLACE: Certificate of Appropriateness to allow design approval of a building
addition (deck enclosure), HR-1 District. Sidney D. Haynes, Applicant.
On Tuesday, January 22, 2013, the Design Review Board approved the design
and material of the deck enclosure as submitted subject to the planting of a
camellia-like shrub with a minimum height of 6 FT to be installed at the front of
the dwelling, between the new window and the existing column.
STAFF ANALYSIS
· On Monday, January 7, 2013, the Design Review Board reviewed this application. With only
two (2) members present, a consensus regarding the proposed addition could not be met.
Specifically there were questions about how close the addition would be to the adjoining house
to the left of this property and how far toward the front façade would project. The neighborhood
has a variety of side yard setbacks so a pattern could not be readily determined. The basic design
and materials to be used on the building addition were deemed appropriate. The application was
forwarded to the Commission for review on January 14, 2013. At the Monday, January 14, 2013
Commission hearing, this item was deferred to the Design Review Board for review by the full
Board.
· Plans are to convert an existing open deck at the above-referenced dwelling into a kitchen
addition. The existing deck extends along the front and left corner of the house. The addition’s
roofline will be a hip-roof with a 3:12 slope. The roofing material will be asphalt shingles that
match the existing roof material. The siding will be lap-siding to match the existing siding. (It
should be noted that the siding material of either the existing dwelling or addition is mentioned.
The Review Board may wish to clarify if it is to wood lap siding, Hardie Board, or another
material.) The addition will include a block foundation wall covered with brick veneer to match
the existing structure, 6 over 1 true divided lite single glaze wooden windows, and louvered
wooden shutters to match the existing structure. The applicant’s detailed information is attached
for review.
· The 2035 Future Land Use Plan recommends urban residential use for this property. Section 27A of the Comprehensive Land Development Resolution and the Design Guidelines for Macon-Bibb
County’s Historic Districts were used as references in preparing this staff report.

1. Certificate of Appropriateness shall be issued.
