JOHN OXIAN: I move that the sidewalk be approved as recommended by staff. JOANN SPORLEDER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 4. 2003-0515-2: 1043 Riverside Drive; Extensive garage "repair, including the following: 1. Replace in kind broken siding boards 2. Remove and replace broken roof, flashing, and overhang 3. Repair or replace broken sliding door KAREN HAMMOND NASH: (See attached Staff Report). ERIC ROSI-MARSHALL: (Was present with contractor Amanda Cragen, (Cragen Construction), to answer questions from commission members. JOANN SPORLEDER: What exactly is the proposed work that is to be done?

Not only. is the roof falling in; but; the whole garage is just being pushed apart by the roof. JOANN SPORLEDER: How seriously out of plumb are the walls? AMANDA CRAGEN: They are bad. My plan is to rip off the roof and then straighten the walls back up and secure them. In the framing, the garage headers are pretty non- existent. I was planning on going back through and bringing everything a little more up to snuff. I intend to straighten up the walls of the garage as much as possible and then put a new roof on. ERIC ROSI-MARSHALL: Also, we are going to be adding a second top plate as well; because, it currently has only a female top plate. A!
