house. The new materials will match the original construction. The porch over the front door compliments the architectural style of the house. Hostetler: The homeowner, Mr. Miller is here this evening. Miller: I don't have much to add, thank you Catherine. My wife Emee sends her regrets, she's at a school function tonight. A couple of points just of accuracy. Klusczinski: Can you'state your name for the record, please? Miller: Robert B. Miller, resident and homeowner. Musczinski: Thank you. Miller: The address is 344 S. Sunnyside, I did see a typo on the first line of this. Hostetler: Thank you. Miller: We are planning to extend an addition, we'd like to go 11 ft. behind our house towards our east set back. We'll come pretty close. to the set back, but not over. And, 20 ft to the south of our current wall toward the alley, which violated the 25ft set back, but we petitioned for a variance of that and that was approved in November to an 18 ft setback. I know that in the statement here it says "the garage addition by 40 ft ", uh which is not. I think it's a little ambiguous, there was no garage addition there is a breezeway addition and it goes beyond that by 40 ft, but its 20 ft longer than the current length of the house. I have been told by our builder that removing siding and recycling that siding is not very likely to be successful, so obviously we'll be using new siding- other than that, that's what we need to do in the way of an addition. Klusczinski: Mr. Miller, do you have a copy of the variance that you would also be willing to submit for our file? Miller: I'm not sure exactly what that document looks like, I have a set back diagram, and I may have it with me. Hostetler: I know that they did apply for a variance, and that it was approved. Miller: I have to check my file Klusczinski: Ok. Miller: I probably have it. And the porch that was approved several years ago, I'm going to say that it was close to 8 years ago ... I have a little better diagram of that if you'd like to see it. I don't know if I have enough copies for everyone. This has another view on it. Riley: Could you explain this porch? I think that you said that you were going to put pillars on it? Hostetler: Pilasters. Miller: No pillars. It's really nothing more than a portico. A roof awning over the door. Actually the front door and our entire entrance way needs to be replaced, all the wood is rotted. R faces west and so it takes all the rain, sun and there is no cornice on the house. It has a very shallow cornice, and so we need something over that door. Klusczinski: Are there any other questions for the petitioner? Riley: Just one other question. You made a point in your presentation. What are you going to do with the shingles... are you going to remove them? Miller: The existing house is cedar wood siding. We'd like to keep that. Riley: You're going to keep that? Miller: Our contractor says that the odds of success in removing that and reusing it are not very high. So, we'll just be buying new cedar siding. Klusczinski: Any other questions? Hearing none. Are there any members of the public wishing to speak in support of this petition? Hearing none. Are there any members of the public wishing to speak in opposition of the petition? Riley: I make a motion... Klusczinski: Uh, not yet...we have to make sure in case there is any Commission discussion. Is there? Anyone have anything to add? Findings of fact, Application number 2007-0214 stands as presented. Do I have a motion? Riley: So moved. Musczinski: To? To approve, or...? 5
