The designer gave a presentation describing various aspects of the proposed addition, including the reuse of any brick that would be removed from the house. Mr. Oxian asked what the owner intended to do with the brick located on the exterior of an existing unfinished rear porch. The designer stated that the brick would be used as a wainscotting on the new addition. Mr. Oxian asked if the addition was going to be taller then the existing house. The designer stated that some alterations were made to the plans to lower the addition so that it is in scale with the rest of the house. Mrs. Gallagher asked if the east side view and front view of the house would change. The designer stated that the views would not change, in fact they are only tearing down the porch and extending it five feet. Mr. Fine noted that the concept was acceptable, however, there was a lot information missing from this application and thus it should be placed into committee. There was some discussion over what type of windows were being proposed for the addition. Mr. Zmyslo also expressed concern over the lack of details included with this application. Mr. Oxian suggested that the application be tentatively approved with the final details to be approved by the Standards and Maintenance Committee. Mr. Fine moved to give tentative approval to the application with the final details to be approved by the Standards and Maintenance Committee. Ms. Gallagher seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 6. 1999-0806 - 713 LaSalle, rear porch and fire exit. Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs.

She further noted that she had not seen the sketches that were submitted by her contractor. Mr. Oxian asked what was going to be used for the deck of the roof. Ms. Cassifer stated that it currently had a rubber roof. Mr. Zmyslo stated that according to the drawings a wood deck would be erected on top of the existing rear porch roof with the weight of the deck on the porches outer walls. There was some discussion over the fact that the wood deck would have a slight over hang. Mr. Talley noted that a new rubber roof would not with stand people walking on it so a wood deck would protect the roof and allow the addition of a railing. Mr. Zmylso again stated that the applicant had not submitted enough information concerning the size of the deck, stairs, posts, materials and how the structure would be attached to the house. Mr. Oxian suggested that the application be placed into committee.
