Replacement of the existing attic vent with a 36" x 42" casement window on the side facade for egress purposes.

Site Info

One story frame with artifical wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables. One over one double hung windows. One story full front porch with wood posts on brick piers. Interior offset chimney. Cutaway bay on front elevation. Irregular plan. Contributing structure.

1. Building Code requires for all bedrooms to have an egress window.

2. To provide an egress window, the applicants can either replace the side attic vent or replace the existing front window. The side vent replacement is the better option since it preserves the integrity of the front façade.

3. The side vent requested for replacement is located on a street and is therefore highly visible.
