CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT <br />D. Structure <br />• 4. Porches and Steps which are readily visible from the street <br />Preferred: Retain and maintain porches and steps including hand rails, <br />balustrades... <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The application proposes'to install new black metal handrails of shorter run <br />but similar design to the existing railing at the front steps to the house. <br />The locations of the proposed handrails are at the short runs of steps where <br />the lawn rises near the public sidewalk. The railings are to be located <br />radiating to the outside of the property mounted in the runners to the side of <br />the steps. A modest yard light is also proposed to illuminate each of these <br />stairs. <br />The proposed railings are consistent with existing architectural features of <br />the house and are appropriate to their locations. The lighting fixture <br />proposed will be generally obscured by the shrubbery surrounding these stair <br />areas and are selected to cast a lateral light so as to best illuminate the <br />steps. Staff recommends approval. <br />DBD <br />11/6/97 <br />• <br />C] <br />
