DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE Two story, rectangular floor plan, wood frame construction with limestone first story. Side gabled roof with gable returns and simple entablature. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles, 8/8 double hung sash windows with ornamental louvered shutters. On the south of the home, there is a one story porch wing with flat roof and diamond pattered wood railing. Porch wing fagade has plain entablature and plain pilasters, enclosed with sliding glass doors and pergola. Attached two car garage is on the south end of the home. ALTERATIONS: The survey card, updated in 1998, notes "major" alterations to this home including: aluminum storm door and windows, enclosed south porch wing, and siding. C of A 2002 -0522 was approved for the removal of "existing gray asphalt 3 -tab shingles from roof of home and garage and replacement with light `shake wood brown' color asphalt architectural shingles on roof and garage." APPLICATION ITEMS: Kitchen addition with porch. Kitchen addition will add 248' to the house: 8'x31' enclosed, plus a covered porch of about 7'x20' *. Siding will match existing wood shingle and limestone; the balance of shingles and stone will be determined in part by the cost of reusing existing stone and/or cost of new stone. New windows will match existing. * Upon examination of the submitted plans, it was noted that the dimensions of the proposed porch are actually 5x20 ". Measurements were double checked and verified as drawings are to scale: Y4 " : 1 ' -0 ". DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Kitchen addition to be built on the northwest corner of the home, essentially reclaiming 14' 10" of width (for the addition, plus and additional 5' of porch space) and 31' of length of the current backyard for living space. (Figure 1) The addition will be one story, the foundation of which will be limestone, and the exterior walls will be wood shingles matching the existing facades in materials and appearance, and replicating the pattern of limestone topped by wood shingles already extant. (Figure 2 and see photographs also) If possible, existing stone (removed from rear fagade to accommodate the addition) will be re -used. Addition is essentially a "backwards L" and wraps the northwest corner of the home, ending approximately 1' short of the north face of the existing garage. (Figure 3) The new roof (minimum slope of and diamond patterned railing (to replicate existing) will be concealed from view on Jacob Street by the gable of the existing garage. Square pilasters and columns on the proposed addition will match, in shape and style, the existing pilasters on the enclosed porch on the south face of the home. Copper gutters and downspouts will be added, as currently exist on the home. Windows will be divided light, either 6 over 6 or 8 pane divided light window shown on West Elevation of plans. (Manufacturer not specified.) Addition will necessitate the addition of a new door to the garage that opens out to the north. The door will be added; the existing window on north face of garage will not be removed or altered. All doors will also contain divided lights. (Manufacturer not specified.) A new porch is also proposed, the dimensions of which are 5'x20' on the north of the addition detailed above. Of that, 4' will be visible from Jacob Street, extending beyond the existing garage. The roof of the proposed addition will extend over the porch and will be supported by (2) 12x12 square columns. (Figure 4) Extant concrete pad will be covered by the porch portion of the addition which will also include a concrete step up to enter the home. The rise is not sufficient to require a hand rail. N
