We only met collectively last evening for the first time, but would like to discuss the new approach to the project with the ARC, so as we revise and develop the design, we will have the benefit of their insight. We’d like to talk thru the new approach when we have an opportunity to present tomorrow, but below are some ideas we are exploring: 1. In maintaining the character of the house, can we increase the height (modify) the eye brow windows so that they could have vision from interior to the street, become operable, et cetera? 2. Restore and enhance public way|view consistent with original design (in scale and proportion, materiality, detail), but would like to adjust positioning of elements so they relate to exterior façade properly and the interior configuration. 3. Maintaining roof style and detailing, but raise ridge line by (+/- 2’-0”) to allow for more liveable|usable square footage on second floor. 4. Remove existing elements that were not in keeping with original house (vertical fence siding, boarded over windows, non-appropriate architectural elements etc….). Bad renovations that have taken place thru the years. 5. Restore and|or match materials when needed due to rot, not functioning, etc…. 6. Enhance materiality to original historic intent (for example, instead of asphalt shingle, if budget permits, slate shingle, copper detailing, etc…?)
