As much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the <br />addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. <br />Recommended <br />Aluminum or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible in <br />size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. <br />Prohibited <br />Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, cast stone, or artificial brick may not be used. <br />Not Recommended <br />Glass blocks should not be used.

The owner is also proposing to re -use current materials on <br />the exterior with the intent that it will not stand out as new construction. The new construction will not be visible <br />from the street as it will be situated in a vacant corner of the house. <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />Deb Parcell <br />Deputy Director <br />
