dow from the outside. The window is in good condition. It is on the rear facade in a partially enclosed porch area
under the sleeping porch.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Due to the good condition of the window staff believes the replacement of
this window for a larger one is not appropriate. The original window should remain in place. Staff makes an UN-
FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION.
