Good Morning Julia,
Thank you for taking the time to review!
It seems that the renderings may be conveying some incorrect information. We only use them for conceptual purposes only, as they do not
provide a 100% accurate representation of what we are proposing. They provide a good visual and a general understanding, but the way the
software is run always changes a few things here and there. The layout plan and the engineering drawings show our exact intent.
I’ve responded to your questions below:
1. The wrought iron fence is original to the house, so it does date back to at least 1900. We are designing for a more welcoming feeling at
the front of the house, and the fencing does not help us achieve our goal in this regard. It also creates a maintenance issue for the new
plantings we are proposing, as it will be extremely difficult to keep the plants on the other side of this fence in good health.
2. We are not proposing any changes to the front steps, front concrete walk, or front slate walk. Those are to remain as-is and are all in
good condition. This could be a hiccup within the renderings.
3. We are not proposing any changes to the driveway materials, only minor changes to the shape (garbage area, entry to backyard). The
driveway and parking area is a simple pea stone surface with a flush-set granite cobblestone border.
I have put together a materials list for the structure, which is attached for your reference. The engineering drawings state the locations
for each of the items listed and provide much more detail on the exact implementation of each.
4. We are not proposing to change the light fixtures, another rendering hiccup!
Please let me know if there is anything else that you need. Thanks again, and looking forward to presenting Wednesday evening!
Very Best,
Matt Dennis

Good morning Matt,
We reviewed this application at our workshop last night, and the Board has a few questions/clarifications/requests:
1. The wrought iron fence at the front may be a historic fence, and they may request more information about the age of it and/or have conditions
regarding the removal of the fence.
