Staff Comments
Queen Anne, c.1890
    Two-story frame residence with a hipped roof with projecting gables and a two-story porch.

1. 830 Deery Street is a contributing resource to the Fourth and Gill National Register Historic District and local overlay.
2. The proposed porch enclosure will occur within an existing foundation and roofline on the rear of the house, and will not be visible from the right-of-way. Placement of the addition is appropriate.
3. The proposed addition uses materials that are compatible with the original house, and it is sufficiently differentiated from the primary structure.
