The addition location allows for the expansion of two bedrooms to larger sizes. No new conditioned living space proposed on first floor, beyond the elevator shaft. The other interventions are the addition of a room on the northeast second floor and a hallway that connects the old existing second floor servants’ quarters allowing for a safer entry and new egress window; stack laundry machine being moved to a dedicated space. Due to comments in previous application, concerning the scale of the addition, a new design is being submitted. Mass of the addition is being broken into two parts. One mimics the tower of the adjoining sister property in scale; the other is topped by a gable similar to the existing gables on the house with exposed decorative rafter tails. The decorative motif in the grid panels has been kept and the detail of the installation worked out by utilizing stand offs. Columns in the screened in porch shall be wrapped in wood and painted. Windows are Anderson 400 Series, white, with true-divided lights, six over six. Exposed rafter tails have been shown on the new addition on the east side second story at the east and north roof eaves; matching the existing ones by the third level roof deck. Large egress double hung window, in recess of new hallway, has been changed to a more appropriately sized egress casement window with true-divided lights. 2a. Summary of Application Form: a.
