New Accessible Ramp for a Contributing Structure
end
BACKGROUND:
Carter Quina is seeking approval for a wood accessible ramp connecting to an existing raised porch. The Barkley House is a contributing structure, but the raised porch and restroom/kitchen addition are modern reconstructions. This project was reviewed at the June 2023 ARB meeting where it was denied without prejudice. The applicant is proposing an alternative path from what was reviewed in June that reduces the span of ramp located on the north side of the building, as well as a second option. The posts and skirt boards will be painted white, deck boards will be painted grey, and the railing will be code a compliant steel grid, all to match the existing color scheme.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
