not used for entry to the house, as most persons use the side door off of the driveway (where the entrance is located on the porch plan) . Mr. Gochenaur further stated that the original porch wrapped around the front to the south, but that remodeling done since that porch was removed placed a chimney on the south side, thus preventing the construction of such a porch now. Gochenaurs plan to install rectangular lattice below the porch floor in front of the foundation. Mr. Eide recommended that Gochenaurs seek roofing shingles made especially for flat or low-pitched roofs. Mr. Eide further stated that he would rather see the front opened to permit entry from that direction. Mrs. Dennen asked if there were steps leading up to the front door. Mr. Gochenaur stated that brick steps had been placed in front of the door by a previous owner, but that they had been replaced. Mrs. Dennen asked if the shutters would be hinged. Mr. Gochenaur replied that they would not. Mrs. Petrass stated that she would like to see an entry onto the porch in the front. Mr. Eide asked if the owners felt strongly about keeping the porch enclosed across the front, stating that the Commission was thinking of the appearance from the street and not the function of the front door as the main entry. Mr. Gochenaur stated that he did not feel that strongly about it. Mr. Eide stated that it would look better to have an opening in front. Mr. Eide moved that the plan be approved, recommending that the steps be retained in the front rather than putting the railing all way across. Mrs. Dennen seconded. Motion approved. IV. Regular Business A. Minutes - August 20, 1990 Mr. Oxian made two corrections to the minutes. Mr. Newburn moved to approve the minutes as corrected; Mr. Eide seconded. Motion approved.
