Applicant Request
Doors- A building permit, along with a Level I COA, has already been granted for masonry,roof and wood trim in-kind repairs to the rear of the house to fix all the damage caused by a tree that fell on the house on July 14, 2016.
- The Level II request is for approval of French doors on the back of the house (see attached specs for door) in place of the existing set of windows. The doors are to be installed within the width of the existing window opening. The proposed door window is about 80 inches from the ground which will fit into the height of the window opening. The door will be installed along with additional framing and painted white to match the existing windows and trim.
- The door will be installed approximately 3 feet from the north edge of the house as is the existing window. The muntin size of the existing set of windows are 8" x 8"; however, the window lights on the larger single window at the south end of the back of the house are 8" x 12" which those on the proposed French doors will match. Some excavation is required, and a landing of either pavers, re-purposed brick, or concrete will be laid just outside the door.
