DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Although this property has an East Wayne Street address, its front door, front yard and driveway face on Eddy Street. Eddy Street is a four lane main north/south transportation route with heavy vehicular traffic passing this property. Pedestrian bicycle traffic is also. high. Removal of any landscape debris is routine maintenance. Owner proposes to extend the driveway by adding a semi -circular driveway extension off the main straight drive — all material will be concrete to match existing. To accommodate the extension, three evergreen trees must be removed. Of the evergreen trees, one of the trees appears to be diseased or damaged by lightening and all three trees are cabled together. Just behind the new driveway installation owner proposes to add a flat patio using flagstone with a built-in low height fire pit of same material, see photo for flagstone.example. Owner proposes adding a new 4.' wrought iron fence to west front lawn that will extend back on the north lawn, see plan. The fence has spaces between the pickets but will provide additional security to the property. There will be no fence installed on the East Wayne Street side. The house across East Wayne Street also has a fence of this type installed on the Eddy Street frontage. Also proposed are the installation of several new trees and flowering bushes.
