2. The addition will not be visible from the street.
3. The existing 1990s rear sunroom addition does not contribute to the historic character of the house.
4. No historic materials will be removed or lost by constructing the addition, and will not if it is removed in the future.
5. The proposed wood siding, asphalt roof shingles, and stuccoed foundation match that of the existing house.
6. The proposed hipped roof pitch are compatible with those of the main house.
7. The scale of the addition does not overwhelm the back elevation of the house.
