Replace large double hung window in rear facade <br />(1st floor) with french doors (see attached literature) to line up with bay window <br />above (doors will have diamond shaped muntins like bay window). Remove two large <br />bushes flanking entryway. <br />1. Building Site & Landscaping —Required <br />Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) <br />which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. <br />2. Same - Recommended <br />New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements <br />• in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity <br />to the building that are causing deterioration to the building's historic <br />fabric should be removed. However, tree and landscaping elements that must be <br />removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. <br />3. Same - Prohibited <br />No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing old plants, <br />trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating <br />their importance to the property's history and development. <br />4. windows & Doors - Required <br />Original windows and doors, including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative <br />glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated <br />beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original. <br />Recommendation: <br />I recommend approval of the brick patios. The area is heavily shaded which makes it <br />difficult for grass to grow and the proposed patios will be built around existing trees. <br />Although the removal of the large window will alter the character of the rear facade, <br />it will not be visible from the street, so I recommend approval. <br />I recommend approval of the two front bushes if they will be replaced with other <br />appropriate landscaping (to be approved by the HPC) within one year. <br />is <br />
