APPLICATION 06-92, 112 LIONS ROAD

14

15

Ms. Uhle: Explains this is a modest

16 addition to an existing single family

residence. States application appeared before

17 ARB earlier this month. States ARB had two

comments, two of which the applicant did comply

18 with and two which applicant may not have

agreed with. Explains ARB asked applicant to

19 reconsider the semi circular window in the

upper right-hand front elevation and that has

20 remained. States ARB also suggested to

consider adjusting the roof lines to better

21 integrate the left side and right side of the

front elevation.

22 Architect: Explains he did try to

address that, but this building was done in

23 three stages. Explains it used to be a little

cape at one time, then they put a shed roof on

24 the left side and right side and it did not go

to the ridge. Explains it was impossible to

25 combine the roofs and also to get a center

symmetrical look as in a colonial. Explains

with the circle top window.

three hundred square foot addition to an

12 The Chairman: Suggests if they want to

put mutton bars on the upper and lower sash on

13 the window, put it so it creates a square

pattern, as opposed to three over three do two

14 over two so it relates to the center of the

half circle. States that's the applicant's

15 choice.

Application 06-92, 112 Lions Road.

that was adjourned from this evening,
