of the design fees up to $6,000 for the renovation work which is an eligible expense under the program guidelines. The DRC required that the new addition must blend together in both color and materials with your existing home. In addition, the DRC suggested that the residential inspector review the plan to ensure that the existing garage is structurally stable to accommodate the addition prior to issuance of a building permit. The residential inspector has reviewed the plans and the building permit has been issued. The project provides an addition over the existing 2-car garage which is detached and built into the hill. The project includes a new entry attached to the existing home, a bathroom addition, laundry room and master bedroom suite. The family will use this new room as a family room. In addition, the homeowners will complete the re-landscaping of the yard. The current family room in the existing home will be converted to a dining room. The homeowners had previously completed a bath renovation in the home as well as redid all the woodwork and replaced the interior doors. The Kroenings are young homeowners with 2 children wanting to stay in Roseville. They meet the new eligibility criteria established by the HRA in 2004. The addition will provide the Kroenings with the additional space they need for a growing family. Although construction started on the project in late March, they are hopeful that the HRA will approve their request to assist in helping to reimburse a portion of the design costs associated with the project which is estimated to be over $100,000. Member Kelsey supported the project and asked for details from the Kroenings about why this house and location. Mr. Kroening explained the location decision. Chair Majerus supported the project. He asked what the neighbors have said about the project. Mr. Kroening said neighbors have been positive. Many neighbors are also interested in the upgrading of the neighborhood. Member Hermes asked for details of the roof lines. Mr. Kroening displayed a model which illustrated the matched pitch roof areas and dormer area. Member Kelsey noted that the application form should be revisited to have the correct home valuation, and how long has the applicant lived in Roseville, and why the applicant is re-investing in the community. This issue will be discussed as an action item for the May meeting.
