Village of Concord Design Guidelines: Roofs (page 26) - Allows metal roofs and recommends a dark green color as an option.
Windows (page 28) - Allows alternative exterior materials besides wood. These windows will be on the back of the house and not visible from the street.
Exterior Wallcoverings (page 40) - Cement fiber board is allowed in district and since this addition is to the rear of the house, will match the dimension of the rest of the house and will not be visible from the street, this may be acceptable.
Infill and New Development (page 42) - Outbuildings (garages) may be appropriate if the construction duplicates the original outbuildings that would have been found. "Their materials should reflect the materials found on the original primary building on the lot". This garage will not be visible from the frontage street and will be partially visible from the side street. The design and materials do reflect the design of the original primary building.
