Site Info

The applicant is requesting to remove the existing awning to improve property aesthetics and to address probable water penetration between the mounting edge of the awning and the split-shake cedar siding on the façade surface. The applicant states, "The awning will be removed to repair the underlying structure but would not be reattached as it is near the end of its life and is out of character with the aesthetics of the property." The applicant is also requesting to fill-in three small windows in the kitchen area (rear of the house) to allow needed wall cabinets inside.
