It features a side-facing garage at the north elevation and a detached pool cabana.

Proportions See 3. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s combination of modern and Tudor Revival elements is compatible with the surrounding district. 6. Roofs Though the building’s roofline is much more complex than historic-age rooflines, it appears compatible at the street-facing elevation. 7. Exterior walls The building’s brick exterior is compatible with the district. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is mostly compatible with the district. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney does not include a boxed chimney. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage is appropriately oriented away from the street-facing elevation.
