Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that newel posts be added to the inside of each of the two porch posts at the top of the steps, rather than installling double porch posts across the front of the porch. Staff recommends approval of hanging shingles in the gable end of the front projecting wing, and approval of installing wood porch flooring over the existing concrete floor with the condition that it be wood tongue-a-groove. Drawings of the proposed balustrade, posts, and shingles must be submitted to staff for approval before a building perrmit may be issued.
