This project will include removing the existing garage on the northeast side of the building to construct a larger garage with loft and outdoor rooftop patio with a turf portion for a dog run. The new two car garage will have stairs going up to the loft floor which will provide the apartment with private access to the garage and rooftop patio. Aluminum railing will surround the patio and dog run. A new garage door and metal door will be installed on the first floor and a large sliding glass French door will be installed at the garage loft level to access the patio. Exterior finishes will include brick, fiber cement siding, and a new TPO roof. The COA Committee recommended conditional approval pending all sides of the first floor garage have a brick veneer and the garage door and exterior door on first floor match in color. The COA submitted addressed the COA Committee's concerns. John Burns made a motion to approve the petition, Kevin Klinker seconded. The motion passed unanimously. 800 Main St. - Modification to door facing 8th St. Sean Lutes introduced this petition, submitted by Barry Knechtel of KJG Architecture and owned by Rick Li. This project is for modification of an existing set of wooden exterior doors and an addition of a new exterior door on the first floor level facing 8th St. The entrance is the original 1860s access.
