Description of Work Proposed
Please type or print clearly. Attach additional sheets, as necessary.
We are presently conducting approved, in-kind repairs, including replacement and/or repair of the rotted boards,
sill, and basement entrance.
The entrance to the basement on the Botts Court side has a roofline that slopes alongside the house and so water
runs alongside the house and into the boards and sill, causing significant rot. We would like to re-orient the roof
so that the water is instead directed onto Botts Court. Please see diagram below. The roof will otherwise be identical in dimension and pitch to the present roof line.
I have attached pictures of the basement entrance and roof as it is currently, depicting the resulting rot to the house.

The present roof line, which runs alongside the house, with water that drains into the clapboards and sill.

Botts Court
A re-oriented roof line, that slopes in

words, the roof will slope over the
basement entry door.
