(along with 340 other properties). In consideration of this, we are proposing to maintain and repair the original structure, while trying to achieve goals for the client and adhere to Zoning Requirements. The proposal is to retain and repair the front porch of the residence (as indicated above).This would involve shoring up the structure, re-framing for the decking and installing new Doug Fir (or equal) T and G porch decking.The columns are rotting and deteriorated and will need to be replaced. For this, we are proposing a Tuscan style wood or fiberglass column by Pacific or equal. The roof is in acceptable condition, but it would be preferable to replace the roof with a metal roof. The existing windows on the front are original but are old and leaking. It is the intent of the client to repair windows where possible.The new windows for the addition will be Andersen 400 Woodwright series or equal. The exterior is proposed to have the existing vinyl siding removed. After the siding is removed,the exterior original siding will need to be examined to assess the condition. If the original wood siding is in poor condition,then it will be removed and a new siding will need to be installed. Options for the new siding include Wood siding by Warren Trask with TruCore preservative or Fiber Cement Board with painted wood trim. While the client is fully invested in maintaining critical features of the original house-and has done so internally in a number of areas-they are a young family that requires additional living space, an updated kitchen and the functionality of garage. It is important to retain the character of the house, however it is equally important to design for today's lifestyle needs that differ from the time the house was built, a common dilemma with older homes. y.,1 iNN41'�NC mr 6Q T Yv "y r - 1111:! ' 11 w �w 4 l,ml "'"wa. „ .. Existing South Addition to be removed The one-story side expansion to the south does have an original stone foundation, but is in poor condition. It is believed to be have had a root cellar and have functioned as a kitchen/pantry, which it still does currently.The expansion is also extremely close to the property line and alleyway and, in fact, has been hit by vehicles because of this. It does not meet today's zoning ordinance or building codes at all since it is less than 2 feet from the property line. In addition, Sweeney Way is below the grade of the surrounding properties/street and during winter months maintenance meets the bare minimum causing significant and dangerous amounts of snow/ice build up. (The client can actually show a video with the significant flooding that occurs.) •q . - . .� y mu? Existing Site Plan Proposed South Elevation The proposed design is suggesting removal of this structure so as to re-build a reduced 2-story addition that would tie in to the original house and conform to zoning.This would allow for a hallway to the rear addition to allow for a sorely needed additional bedroom. Currently,the house only has 2 bedrooms. The rear of the house has a generous-sized yard with a historic American Elm on the property line.The wood shed porch is in poor condition and the new design would have that removed for a new 2-story addition. 9 " tor„rt.., ., • a .
