HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness September 2, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 3 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on October 13, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Grant the applicant requested postponement to the October 7, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 3 – 2 Property Information Photos 3 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness September 2, 2026 HR-2026-101469 Malcolm and Margaret Badger Reed House 1712 Rio Grande Street 4 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a landmarked structure and construct a rear addition. Project Specifications 1) Repair and reconstruct original design elements at the main structure, including front stairs, windows, and replace roof with material more in matching with original appearance. 2) Remove non-historic porch enclosure and rear fire escape stair. 3) Construct a rear two-story addition with a modern design, connected to the original building by an enclosed hyphen corridor, reducing the impact to historic material. Architecture This City of Austin landmark is a two-story brick structure built around or shortly after 1912. It features Prairie School style elements, including a large hipped roof, a broad front porch, and an emphasis on horizontal elements. There are some highly intricate window sashes that remain, and the condition of the exterior is in good, if altered, condition. The front entry is approached by a wide front stair leading to an arched brick portal to the porch. Changes over time include an enclosed side porch, a replaced roof, as well as a rear addition with substantial wood fire escape. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic properties. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Removal of material from the building is limited to nonhistoric or otherwise nonoriginal fabric. Reconstruction and rehabilitation is guided by historic images included in case backup. 3. Roofs Existing, nonhistoric metal roof is proposed to be removed and replaced with clay tile or another product that visually matches clay tile while being lighter in weight. The applicant has proposed reinforcement of the roof structure in either case, and the use of either roofing material is based on historic photos to ensure an appropriate match. 4. Exterior walls and trim Minor damage and deterioration at exterior walls will be repaired, and some electrical conduit and nonhistoric interventions will be removed where no longer needed. Existing side porch, which was previously enclosed, will be reopened and porch rails will be reconstructed based on historic imagery. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Several windows and doors are proposed to be replaced, all of which are not original to the building. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness September 2, 2026 SB-2026-102124 Larmour Block (H) 920 Congress Avenue 5 – 1 Proposal Install a neon-lit projecting sign. Design Standards The following standards apply to the proposed project: Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The building does not have existing signage. One sign is proposed. Sign Types: The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. The proposed sign is a projecting (blade) sign. Sign Size: The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type: 1. Projecting (blade) signs: 6 square feet Large commercial buildings (over 3 stories): Cumulative signage may not exceed 40 square feet per façade and must comply with a signage plan for the building. The proposed sign is 6.25 feet in area. Sign Design, Coloring and Materials: Use simple shapes, such as rectangular or oval signs. The Commission recommends painted wood or metal signs with matte finishes for all signs; plastic, reflective materials, and unfinished surfaces are not allowed. Limit the colors used in a sign to no more than three. For sites with multiple signs, all signs should have corresponding or matching designs, coloring and materials. Signs should match or complement the existing color scheme of the building to the maximum extent feasible. The proposed sign is appropriately simple in design. Lettering: No more than two typefaces are allowed. Avoid lettering which appears too contemporary in the sign. Proposed lettering is compatible. Lighting: Lighting must be indirect, and may be accomplished through shielded incandescent lights attached to the top of the sign, “halo” lighting, or recessed can lighting in awnings. Internally-lit cabinet signs are not allowed for signs on historic buildings or within the historic districts. Neon signs are prohibited on pre-1950 building facades; an exception may be made for existing pre-1950 neon signage, or with photographic proof of a historic (pre-1950) neon sign on the building, but only if the neon sign does not detract from the historic character of the building or area. …
SWIFT HOUSE ON CONGRESS Blade Sign Ion Art Project #7346 Sign Permit: 2026-102124 SB Project Address: 920 Congress Ave Austin, TX 78701 Sign Rendering - 920 Congress Ave Facade 920 Congress Ave Proposed Design • Blade Sign • 30” Round Cabinet - Painted Black • Exposed White Neon • Display Area 6.25 sq. ft. • Anchors in grout lines of tiles HISTORY OF 920 CONGRESS AVE Crescent Theater Opened in March of 1913 as the Unique Theater, it was renamed Crescent Theater in September of that same year. It was considered the first theater to show movies in Austin. The theater closed in 1931. Crescent Theater in the 1920’s During the 1920’s the theater would install elaborate masked fronts to promote the current film playing at the time. Face-lit Signage Both facades below have what appears to be an internally lit projecting sign (only the corner is visible on the left image). This could be what was called a Translucent Glass or Spliced Glass Box Sign Example of circa.1920’s spliced glass box sign made by Flexlume The masked front for the 1923 movie Circus Days starring Jackie Coogan features a caged lion, an elephant, and other circus acts The painted rocks on this masked front for the 1923 silent film 6 Days is likely a representation of the cave in that traps the characters underground for 6 days Congress Ave - October 5, 1949 (Facing South from 10th St) Liberty Cafe - 920 Congress Ave After 1931 - Updated Facades After the closing of the Crescent Theater, there is little information on the updates made to this block of buildings. However, there are photographs dating from as early as 1949 that show the Liberty Cafe at 920 Congress. The photo captures the alterations made to the ground floor facade, including the enclosing of the entrance and the addition of black tile surrounding the storefront. These facades are still in place today. Exposed Neon In the 1940’s (possibly as early as the 1930’s) the storefronts along the 900 block of Congress Ave used neon as the primary signage for their businesses. Many of these mid-century facades (including 920 Congress) are still in place today, although the neon has been removed. The storefronts for Singer and Renfro’s Drug Store which flanked the Liberty Cafe at 920 Congress also had very prominent neon signs. Note: Swift House will also occupy the storefront at …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 PR-2026-053670 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard 6 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1920 house. Architecture This American Foursquare house with Prairie School stylistic influences was constructed around 1920. The two- story house has a low-pitched hipped roof with broad overhangs. The full-width, hipped-roof porch has a long, open span supported at the corners by large square columns. The second floor had recessed corners that been infilled and converted to interior space. Much of the house has been covered with aluminum siding. Wood windows appear throughout the building, with larger, multi-lite fixtures appearing at the front elevation and simpler 1-over-1 units more common at the sides and rear. Research Early owners of this ca. 1920 house were Elmer & Cora Young. E. E. Young was co-owner of an automotive dealership, Hart & Young, Willys-Knight and Overland Austin Agency; he later bought out his partner and continued operation under his name. He served as president of the local automobile dealers’ association. Shortly before his death in 1928, Young became secretary of the Stacy Realty Company, developer of the Travis Heights neighborhood. Later owners included Charles & Katherine Brunner, who owned the house from 1929 until 1947. Charles Brunner operated a jewelry business on East Sixth St. beginning in the late 1890s. After his death in 1933, Katherine Brunner continued to run the jewelry store for another ten years. It appears that she leased out the house following her husband’s death but moved back in around 1941. In the 1950s, the house was occupied by Robert B. and Gwendolyn Hill. Robert Hill was a foreman at the Calcasieu Lumber Company. Department Comments A demolition permit for this property was originally referred to HLC in July 2019 (HDP-2019-0379), and the case was subsequently withdrawn. Meeting minutes are available here: https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=325930. A demolition application for the garage at the rear of the property was submitted in 2024 (PR-2024-055675), but this was later withdrawn upon the subsequent owner’s purchase of the property. This property also attended the January 15, 2025 Architectural Review Committee meeting to discuss a potential remodel, though no permit application was submitted for this scope of work. Documentation, including agendas and backup materials, for the three previous applications can be found in backup attached to this case. Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 PR-2026-059982; GF-2026-073317 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 2009 Travis Heights Boulevard 7 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1939 house. Architecture The original portion of this house can be seen at the right two thirds of the street-facing façade, which still retains some Tudor Revival details such as the arched door and steep roof pitch. Original side lites and modest front porch with concrete stairs continue with this style. The exterior material is stucco or plaster, which may be original but has been painted. To the north of the main house is a 2012 addition of a covered porch, which was enclosed with walls covered in matching painted stucco, and appears from the street as conditioned space. Behind this is a pergola that is also enclosed by full height walls, though no roof covers it. Research Original owners of this house S.R. & Maxine Blake, who worked in sales and briefly lived at the property before it was acquired by Frank & Florence Schirripa, then Jason & Virginia Forbes, who owned the property for the next ten years. During their ownership, Jason Forbes went from a record keeper at the Texas State House Reporter to a correspondent and finally an editor of the publication. By 1957, the property was sold again to Floy & Pearl Forister. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on November 9, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is an intact, if altered, example of Tudor Revival architecture in the district. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 SP-2026-035365; HR-2026-070009 West Line Historic District 611 West Lynn Street 8 – 1 Proposal Construct eight detached residential units on a property. Project Specifications Construct a total of eight multi-story housing units, oriented around a center driveway and pool area. Five units at the front of the property will face this new driveway, and the three rear units will face a rear alley. This driveway will require a new curb cut. Architecture The property is currently a vacant lot. The original house on the property was demolished in 2020. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The front units will have their walls closest to the street with a setback that approximately matches surrounding properties. Other units are spread equally across the property and don’t extend beyond required setbacks. Due to the site elevation, which slopes down towards the rear alley, units will be less visible as they are more set back from the front of the property. 2. Orientation The front five units will face the central driveway, which is not typical to single family houses in the district. However, design revisions have been made since the August 12, 2026 Architectural Review Committee, and both units closest to West Lynn St. have been revised to include porch areas and details at the ground floor. Additionally the massing has been altered to make these units interface with the street more than in previous design iterations. The three rear units, facing the alley, are in keeping with the standards in their guidance on additional structures on the property. 3. Scale, massing, and height All housing units are designed to be at least three stories in height. This is taller than surrounding contributing properties, with the exception of the Sheeks-Robertson House across the street. The massing of each unit appears very vertical due to each being detached, which may not be as perceptible if the structures were duplexes or rowhomes. Revisions have been made to the design to break up the massing into smaller elements and to create a “stepped back” effect when viewed from the street. These revisions are …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits September 2, 2026 PR-2026-079349; GF-2026-090393 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 706 East Monroe Street 9 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1927 house. Architecture This property is a single-story Craftsman bungalow featuring an ample, projecting front porch that is supported by two square wood posts. These posts, along with the porch railing and brackets above, decorate the front of the house, which retains strong integrity. The front gabled roof features prominent overhangs and rafter tails still present under a later gutter addition. Windows all appear to be original and are in good condition. The walls are clad in narrow horizontal siding, and the elevated foundation is covered by a concrete or stucco skirting. Behind the house is a porch structure that has been confirmed by a previous owner to have been designed by former University of Texas architecture professor Bob Mather. The design of this structure, made from portions of the original garage, matches the roof pitch to create a sheltered space at the rear, and was likely designed while Mather lived, along with his wife Jean Mather, nearby at 1611 Alameda Drive. Research After its construction, this property was shortly owned by Walter & Larah Bergfield, the former of whom was employed as a barber. After a series of short term owners and residents, including a taxi driver and a telephone repairman, the property was bought by Edmund & Dorothy Morris around 1944. Edmund Morris worked at the Mutual Benefit Health Association as a manager, before starting his own insurance agency by 1949. Doris is listed as assisting in this operation, and the couple raised several children at the property. By 1957, the property was purchased by Clyde & Georgia Priddy, a chef at the Commodore Perry Hotel. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on December 19, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for …
06/09/2026 June 18, 2026 City of Austin Development Services Department Historic Preservation Office / Austin Planning Re: Residential Total Demolition Permit Application — 706 E Monroe Street, Austin, Texas To Development Services and Historic Preservation Staff: We recently acquired the property at 706 E Monroe Street and are submitting this Residential Total Demolition Permit application to begin the City’s required review process for the existing bungalow and related accessory structure. We understand that the property is located within the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District context and that review by Historic Preservation staff and/or the Historic Landmark Commission may be required before any permit may be released. At this stage, we are evaluating multiple paths for the existing bungalow. Demolition is not our first or only path. In parallel with this permit application, we are actively exploring preservation alternatives, including retention of the structure as part of the overall site plan and potential relocation/donation to a house preservation nonprofit. We are submitting the application now so that the required City review can proceed while those preservation and relocation conversations continue. Based on the information currently available to us, we understand that the bungalow may be a contributing-age structure within the National Register district context, but we do not believe it independently meets the City’s criteria for local historic landmark designation. Specifically, while the structure may meet the age threshold, we are not currently aware of facts indicating that it has individual architectural significance, significant historical associations, unique community value apart from the broader district context, archaeological significance, or landscape significance sufficient to support individual landmark designation. We welcome staff’s review and will provide additional information requested by Historic Preservation staff. We are submitting an updated combined survey for 700 and 706 E Monroe, including current tree information. No tree removal is proposed as part of this demolition permit application. We are not proposing to impact the critical root zone of any protected or heritage tree or to prune more than 25% of any protected-size tree canopy as part of this application, except as may be separately reviewed and approved by the City. We understand that any required tree protection and erosion/sedimentation controls must be installed and inspected before demolition or removal work occurs. The application materials identify the existing bungalow and the existing accessory shed, approximately 125 square feet. No demolition, relocation, or removal work will occur unless and …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 SB-2026-097368 Sixth Street Historic District 505 Neches Street 10 – 1 Proposal Install signage at a contributing property. Project Specifications Install individually mounted letter signs to the primary elevation of a property contributing to the Sixth Street National Register district. Letters will be placed above the main entry and are proposed to each be reverse lit. Design Standards The City of Austin Signage Guidelines are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. Number of signs Standards allow for one sign per building. There is currently a projecting sign at the center of the main façade. If this is proposed to be removed by the applicant and replaced with the proposed letter signs, this application meets the standard. 2. Sign types While the letters do project from the façade, the proposed signage is flush mounted, which is an approvable signage type. 3. Sign size Flush mounted signage has a maximum allowable size of 20 square feet, according to the Historic Sign Guidelines. The proposed design has a footprint of 31 square feet and does not meet the requirements. 4. Sign design, coloring and materials Metal signs are a recommended material, and this proposal returns appear to meet that recommendation. However, the material used for the individual letters should be submitted to confirm that they are also composed of an approvable material and are not reflective or consist of an unfinished appearance, which are specifically called out as inappropriate in the sign guidelines. 5. Lettering A single typeface is proposed. While it is modern in its style, it is generally appropriate. 6. Lighting Reverse lit or “halo” lighting is proposed for illumination, which is an approvable method. 8. Sign placement Proposed sign is centered above the main entry. This meets the standards for a single tenant, and it appears to be above the sidewalk by the required 9 foot minimum. 9. Sign mounting Sign should be installed in existing penetrations where possible. The wall finish appears to be plaster or stucco. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Sixth Street National Register district. Staff Recommendation Reduce sign size to conform to historic sign standards. Once conforming changes have been made to the proposal, they may be submitted directly to …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 HR-2026-091701 Old West Austin Historic District 3209 Kerbey Lane 11 – 1 Proposal Demolish a non-original addition and construct a rear addition. Project Specifications 1) Demolish most of an existing rear addition, including interior partitions, most exterior walls, and roof above this single-story section. 2) Construct a new rear addition, partially using the existing foundation from the demolition. New addition will be two-stories in height and will extend the buildable width of the lot. 3) At the south side of the property, construct a garage utilizing an existing driveway and curb cut. 4) Demolish a garage at the southeast corner of the lot. Architecture Built as a two-story residence with Craftsman details, this house features a wide and deep front porch supported by four wood posts. The three-bay front façade is topped with a moderately pitched front gable roof with several brackets. The house appears to be clad in vinyl siding or a similar material. Behind the main house is a single-story rear addition. Research The first owners of this property were John & Ruth Watson. Mr. Watson worked for the state as an accountant. During their ownership, a fire broke out at the property, which resulted in the death of one City of Austin firefighter. After this, the property went through several short term tenents before being purchased by Sidney & Eualee Frost, who raised a family there. Their son would become a United States Marine and was mentioned with distinction in local papers. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Siding on the main house will be retained. Most windows are proposed to be replaced with aluminum-clad wood fixtures. 4. Exterior walls and trim No alterations are proposed to the exterior trim at the original house. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Windows on the front and sides of the original house are all proposed to be replaced. Due to the screens currently present, and no records of previous alterations to windows, it could not be determined whether the existing units are original to the house. Proposed windows are aluminum-clad wood units. 6. Porches A secondary …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 HR-2026-101908 Old West Austin Historic District 1614 Preston Avenue 12 – 1 Proposal Construct a two-story addition at a contributing property. Project Specifications 1) Remove or cover existing stone exterior cladding, demolish front porch, and remove existing windows. 2) Construct a second floor addition above the existing house, doubling the footprint. Architecture This house is a single-story, stone clad residence with an inset porch and modest decoration at the corner of Preston Avenue and Jefferson Street. The front elevation is dominated by a large picture window at the rear of the porch and a broad low-pitch gable roof above. The house is set slightly above grade on an elevated foundation, with the stone cladding extending to the ground. At the side street, a two car garage is present behind the house and attached to the main house by a non-original conditioned space. Research For at least the first two decades after its construction, this property was owned by pastors from the University Christian Church in Austin. There is no record that this was ever designated as an official residence, and deed details show that each of the pastors owned the property outright. It is likely that the first owners, Lawrence & Letha Bash, sold the property upon the installment of Dr. William Gibble to the same position, at which point the former owners moved. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The second story addition extends roughly the entire floorplate of the ground floor, approximately doubling the square footage of the property. A small setback from the front of the house is proposed at the first floor of roughly the same depth as the porch. There is no setback proposed at the street-facing side of the property. 2. Scale, massing, and height By doubling the size of the house, the addition does not propose a similar scale to the existing. There are examples of other properties in the district having large additions constructed above or to a side of the main building, but this proposal is very apparent without setbacks or being pushed back from the front as much …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts September 2, 2026 PR-2026-007559; HR-2026-096250 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1908 Kenwood Avenue 13 – 1 Proposal Reconstruct a carport and storage building, as well as replace non-historic material. Project Specifications 1) Demolish and reconstruct a rear carport with a storage building at one side. Both carport and storage will share a roof with the main house. 2) Replace vinyl siding with fiber cement siding. Architecture This 1934 house is described in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register as being asymmetrical in plan and having no overarching stylistic influences. The façade is clad on all sides in buff and tan brick, with wood fascia and gable ends. Due to local elevation, the house reads as one-story from Mariposa Street and two-stories from Kenwood Avenue. On the latter façade, a second-floor porch is present that spans two thirds of the façade, with a projecting ground-floor gable at the right. A front entry is located on the Mariposa Street elevation, which is fronted by a winding walkway from the street. As a whole, the house retains good integrity and not much alteration is apparent. Research After being constructed in 1934, the house at 1908 Kenwood Avenue was owned by Earl and Caroline Howell. They raised their daughter Carolyn in the house, where she graduated from the University of Texas. By the 1960s, they had moved out and Mr. and Mrs. J.K. Green owned the house, where they welcomed a daughter of their own. There is little known information about what line of work these owners did during these years. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Most repair and alteration work will be located at the rear of the main house, at the location of an existing carport. Some roof shingle replacement is also included in the scope. The reconstruction will be in the same location and of a comparable size, though there will be some visual changes when viewed form the side street. 3. Roofs Shingle replacement is proposed at the main structure. At the carport, a new flat roof structure is proposed, which will not exceed the height of the …
