Renovation and Additions to a Contributing Structure
end
BACKGROUND:
Michelle MacNeil is requesting conceptual approval for renovations and additions at a contributing structure, and for a two-story accessory building with a garage on the ground floor and living space on the second. The scope of work to the existing building includes:
- Adding a new porch roof over the south end of the existing front terrace and raising the height of the existing entry porch to the original height;
- Replacing the roof materials and reworking the roof structure as needed;
- Replacing missing brick and repairing brick to paint;
- Removing wood infill at the rear and adding 8’ to the back of the building;
- Adding a screened porch, an attached side garage, and a deck at the rear. Wall finish at the addition will be stucco and similar to the existing two-story portion of the house.
Additional improvements include the construction of a two-story accessory structure, fencing, and hardscape and landscaping. Materials selected for the rear addition and deck, as well as the location of the two-story accessory structure, are in an effort to step lightly around the existing live oak.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
