The existing site contains a two-story single family residence built in 1910 and a one-car garage with driveway parking, both facing the Tracy street front, with the garage set a little further back than the house; and behind the residence in the back of the lot exists a 528 sf greenhouse with a roofed walkway connecting the residence and greenhouse. The greenhouse is half-sunk in the grade, roughly about 4’-6” from finish floor elevation up to existing grade. We are proposing to remove the upper portion of the greenhouse, leaving the existing concrete basement half-walls, and building a new 600 sf ADU above the lower portion of the greenhouse, utilizing the existing foundation. The existing greenhouse half-basement to remain would become storage and mechanical space. The ADU’s entry will face the alleyway and provide an ADU-dedicated parking space off the alley. The ADU is an A-frame shape with white siding and black-framed doors/windows, consistent with existing form, scale, and materials of the main residence, as well as the surrounding neighborhood. 423 North Tracy (Project Site) Photos Image 1: frontside of existing single family residence on Tracy Street front Image 2: back of site from the alleyway showing in the foreground a skate ramp (to be removed), the existing Greenhouse (ADU proposed location), a storage shed just to the left (to be removed), and beyond that is the backside of the residence and garage STEWART STUDIOS Architecture & Design PH: 406-581-5212 StewartArchitectureStudios@gmail.com SSSStewart tudios There are several examples of ADUs in the surrounding neighborhood, many of them as a second floor located above a garage.
