APPROVE Certificate No. 906074&G. Applicant and Community Development have worked to create a design that is small and as unobtrusive as possible, while still offering protection from the weather. The new design is typical of Craftsman houses.
Install small shed roof stoop at rear door, supported by wood elbow brackets.
One story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Hip roof with lower front gable, asphalt shingle roof covering, replacement attic vent. Two over two double hung windows. One story one-half front porch with hipped roof, splayed porch posts on brick piers and sawn wood railing. Two interior offset brick chimneys, one with chimney pot. Brick foundation. Enclosed rear porch. Rectangular plan.
The rear porch of this Craftsman house was enclosed many years ago, and the rear door is in deed of protection from the weather. Because the house is situated on the corner of Gill and Eleanor, any change at the rear entry will be visible from Eleanor and possibly Gill. However, the owner is also in need of weather protection for the rear door. The proposed addition of the roof at the rear entry will provide weather protection, while being small enough, and appropriate to the style of the house, that it will not be obvious. The proposed redesign will achieve that without calling attention to the missing rear porch.
