New Construction - Additions (pg. 12) calls for materials that are consistent with the existing historic materials (#12). Carports and garages should not face the street (pg. 12, #7). Under Roof (pg. 13, #1 & #2) the roof pitch and roof shape is consistent with others in the district. The proposed plans create a strong front entry orienting the house better to the street (see pg. 13, #2).
