    • SUMMARY OF PROPOSED REVISION TO September 20, 2012 PROPOSAL: Remove front porch floor, posts, and balustrade/piers. Reconstruct front porch in classic style with tapered round columns and turned balustrade on first level and on porch roof. Enclose proposed rear addition with 1/1 double-hung wood windows over wood panels on all sides to convey a sleeping porch. The September 20, 2012 proposal indicated a roofed open porch with balustrade.
    • The existing non-original front porch columns, deck and railings will be removed. The existing columns have no structural support within the woodwork to support the porch roof and the brick is deteriorating. The porch columns and railings will be rebuilt to best represent what might have originally been in place and similar to many houses within the neighborhood using an unfluted, roman Doric columns and a new railing with turned spindle balustrades. Brick will be used below the porch and steps. The front steps are to simulate stone and the new porch floor will be wood. The existing porch roof/structure will remain and be repaired in kind and painted. The existing porch roof railing is deteriorated and will be replaced to match that of the new first-level floor porch.
