1277 Willow Ave COA submitted for two garage vents

Applicant Alfred Carter Kirven, on behalf of owners Alfred C. & Diane O. Kirven, is seeking a Certificate of Appropriateness to install two louvered gable vents on the garage at 1277 Willow Ave. The garage currently has no vents and is used to charge an electric car, which raises interior heat; the vents, part of a small project estimated at $1,000, are intended to reduce that heat. Because the home sits in the Cherokee Triangle historic district, the vent installation is under architectural review as part of the COA process.
