�,.� Reason for Setback request: � Currently there is no formal entry area to the home. The existing door and window of the entry area are huge areas of heat loss and create ice dams over the door. With no entry, persons step directly onto the wood floor in the living room and the closet is 20 feet from the door. The intent is to add an entry with new high level door and window to carry light into the room and will have an in-floor heated tiled entry way where wet shoes can be removed plus a closet. (b) The old area of the entrance roofline (added between 1941 and 1992) will be raised about 6" to be level with the main roof-line. The addition will then be at a 90° orientation to main structure at the same pitch as the main structure with new door, fixtures and steps to enhance the overall curb appeal. (g) and (1). The addition is to be 6 ft towards street and 8 ft wide (consistent with width of existing entry area). This use of space will allow more than 70% of the current green space of the lot to remain (e) and creates no other setback or variance (�. The proposed project will use the same colors as the principal structure and accessories will be added to tie the existing color in with the new roof shingles (being replaced at the same time due to hail damage last year). (h) Because the existing structure is vinyl siding, high grade James Hardie plank will be used to match the vinyl as closely as possible in look and color and the James Hardie trim and accessories will be ordered for the front facing windows on the main structure to tie the look together. The final mass of the building will still be consistent with that of the homes around us (i) and will not place more vehicles adjacent to our home or neighboring homes. (j) The gutters on the new roofline will draw water away from the structure and adjacent structures and the improvement of the insulated roof should prevent the dripping and ice- dams over the entryway.
