Referenced Plans and Documents

restoration project may not be completed as presented and conditioned herein,
he/she/they shall return to the DRB to review proposed modifications prior to making any
changes in the field.
Findings
1. Consistency with Desicin Standards and Guidelines: This project is consistent with the
design guidelines and standards in that the existing materials are being repaired and/or
replaced in-kind, the windows will be wood, the chimneys will be repointed, and there is
no significant change to the exterior form and footprint of the structure.
2. Modest Exterior Renovations: The removal of the existing bulkheads on the north
elevation and the construction of small landings and stairways to doors are modest
renovations to the home. These renovations are needed for access/egress to meet
code and due to their location on the rear of the building will have minimal, if any visual
impact from a public way.
3. Site Landscaping: The applicant is increasing the landscaping on the site by adding two
raised granite curb planters flanking the main entryway and by adding plantings along
the rear facade of the building.
