The subject property, 4604 Browndale Avenue, is a Spanish Eclectic style built in 1925, and is located on the west side of Browndale Avenue, south of Bridge Street, north of Edgebrook Place and east of Minnehaha Creek. A Certificate of Appropriateness was approved by the HPC May 14, 2019 for a two level addition on the south side of the house, and an addition to the garage area on the front façade and reorienting the garage back to a side loaded garage.

Staff inspected the site and found the as-built elevations do not match the elevations approved with the 2019 Certificate of Appropriateness. At the time of the site visit by staff, there had not been a final inspection that had been signed off and approved. There were outstanding building code items that needed to be addressed with the building department. At that time, staff sent letters to the property owner, COA applicant and permit holder informing them of the discrepancies in the elevation and the need for a final inspection. The applicant’s request is for the HPC to approve a COA amendment with the changes in elevations as they are built.
