Cement <br />board or LP board siding with a T-111 pattern will be painted with the identical dark grey house color with white <br />trim. The roof will be built with the same brand and color of shingles. (A premium product upgrade to prevent <br />dark algae stains). Premium materials will be selected at every opportunity. (siding, shingles, paint) The roof <br />pitch will match the house. (8-12) <br /> <br />Location: Two considerations led to the proposed location shown in Figure 1. First, we want to be good stewards <br />of our trees. We were largely motivated to buy the property by the two majestic white oaks (both over 200 years <br />old) that frame both sides of the house and the four massive scotch pines in the natural rain garden. It is <br />important to us that the garage construction does no harm to these signature trees of the property. <br />
