Bracket with pendant over splayed corner at south edge of front elevation. Two interior offset brick chimneys. Brick foundation. Irregular plan. Leaded, stained glass transom above front entry door with leaded glass sidelights.

The proposed garage's roof shape is consistent with the primary structure on the lot. However, the design guidelines specify that the roof slope should be 12/12 pitch. In this case, the garage is not visible from Scott and the restrictions should not apply because of the roof slope.
