Cap front chimney. Change garage hip roof to a gable roof with end of gable facing the street; add a window -t -o match the existing one on the south facade for symmetry. I Roofs - Prohibited Do not add, remove, or alter --features which wi 4.1 change. its character or the architectural character of the house. 2.

New Construction or Additions to Existing Structures - Preferred Consider the size, scale, roof lines, etc. in the design of a new structure, so, that --it will be,compa.t--ible with---i.ts adjacent -buildings in particular and will blend with the neighborhood in general. New additions to existing structures must be compatible in scale, building materials and texture to the --bu-i-l-di-n.g to whi.ch_ the-- addi-t-ion-4s.-made. Retain -as much of the or-iginal structure as possible, so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance to the building. Recommendation: Allow the rear chimney to be removed and capped over because it is deteriorated and is causing leakage through the roof. Allow the front chimney to be capped over. This solution will prevent further leakage and is reversible. The chimney can be re -opened and re -used at a later date . Allow the garage to be remodeled. The gar -age is a non-contributing structure to the district. Its remodeling will give the owner additional space and make the garage a more compatible structure to the district.
