STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1) Staff recommends approval of removal of existing cedar shake siding in an attempt to evaluate the condition of siding underneath. If siding underneath is determined to be deteriorated beyond repair, Staff recommends approval of LP Smart siding. 2) Staff recommends approval of replacing windows with units that resemble the original in respect to the size of the openings although vinyl clad is not recommended over wood or aluminum clad. 3) Staff recommends demolition of rear cistern and porch and installation of new 2 -story addition, per attached plans. 4) Staff recommends modifications to garage but defers to Building Department regarding use as "living quarters". 5) Staff recommends a 6' wood privacy fence on the east, north, and west sides as the proposed 8' can be interpreted as a "high wall or barrier" that is prohibited under Environment. Staff does not recommend a privacy fence on the south side (or front), but recommends a fence that is less tall than 6' and has spaces between the pickets.
