Brown St. within the Downtown Historic District.
Staff Comments
Ms. 011ie stated that on March 28, 2019 the Commission recommended approval for the remodel
of existing residential structure. The intent was to remove existing vinyl siding and expose the
original wood siding. Upon removing the vinyl siding, the original wood had significant damage
with severely rotten wood. including removal of vinyl siding,and a new driveway. The applicant
is now proposing wood siding to the entire exterior of the structure.
One of the changes from the previously approved plan is that the roof height has increased by a
foot and now includes a stack moulding look for the facia. An additional four feet will be added
to the rear.
In addition to a new concrete driveway to the existing garage, new concrete will also be poured
and extend 20 feet across the front of the dwelling. The purpose of the extension is to allow a
vehicle to turn around without backing into Brown Street.
Commissioners Discussion
Chair Stone questioned the purpose of the concrete in the front of the house. Majority of the
Commissioners expressed their understanding for the purpose of the extension, explaining that
the concrete pad allows a vehicle to back out of the garage in the rear and then turn around prior
to Brown Street. There is also landscaping proposed on the plan screening the concrete pad from
Brown Street.
