In order to meet egress requirements, they are proposing the addition of a casement window to an existing gable vent, an egress skylight in the master bedroom, and solar tubes over the staircase & two baths for natural light. The gable vent and skylight are both somewhat visible from the street. The vent opening would need to be enlarged by 1.5" in each direction for a total of 3" for egress. The mullions would match those of the original window that was in the vent. The skylight projects 3 to 4 inches off the surface of the roof, & has been approved in its location in a past HZC application.
