1.The existing wood garage door is early original, but is highly deteriorated and rotted.
2. The garage is in the typical locations sited to the rear of the house and at the head of the driveway, so the garage door is visible from the street.
3. The proposed garage door has the appearance of side-opening carriage house doors and is appropriate for the style and era of the garage and house.
4. Steel garage doors trimmed out to have the appearance of wood have been previously approved in the district.
