2) The roof overhang is proposed for an inconpicuous side toward the rear of the house which will not be easily visible from the right-of-way.

3) The proposed materials of wood framing, asphalt shingles, beadboard and wood trim match those of the house.

4) Small shed roof overhangs are typical over service doors on historic houses.
