RECOMMENDATION <br />The N. St. Joseph Local Historic District Guidelines follow the rehabilitation model. <br />The applicant is proposing seven different projects for their property at 610 N. St. Joseph. <br />They are as follows: 1) construct an 8'x12' wooden storage shed, painted to match house, <br />in the southwest corner of the property. 2) Continue an existing hedgerow across front of <br />side yard curving to meet the walkway that runs along side the house using <br />approximately 18 to 20 shrubs. 3) Install a cedar arbor over side yard walk where <br />hedgerow will abut. 4) Erect an 8'x12' cedar deck with basic square side rail. 5) Plant 2 <br />Weigelia Shrubs and 1 Butterfly Bush in front of new deck which will cause the removal <br />of one superfluous square of sidewalk cement. 6) Remove two dying evergreen bushes, <br />one in front of porch and one along the side and replace with Rhododendrons. 7) Plant a <br />dogwood tree in rear side yard to buffer impact of new storage shed. <br />The staff finds all of the above noted projects to be a sensitive way for the owners to get <br />better use out of their yard and to protect their children with out adversely affecting the <br />property or neighborhood. The staff recommends approval of the application as <br />submitted. <br />
