ALTERATIONS: The roof is not original to the house. The 1979/1987 survey card noted 1/1 double hung windows, so some windows are replacements. Some of the doors may also be replacements. The rear porch and side entrance appear to be additions. The front and rear yard fencing and the front hand railing were approved in 2014. APPLICATION ITEMS: Add 10'x10' shed in the back of the home. Remove a not original doorway on the side of the home and replace with lap siding. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: III NEW CONSTRUCTION: C.
