The project replaces a non-original porch with a compatible but differentiated new porch. Historically, the <br />residence’s main elevation was comprised of a traditional Victorian-style Italianete porch with brackets. <br />The porch expansion led to craftsman style porch columns. The new design simplifies the bulky craftsman <br />style columns with simply wrapped posts, keeping with the simplicity of the Victorian architecture and <br />maintaining the Craftsman design updated. <br />6) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced, wherever possible. <br />The new porch design includes the repair of deteriorated historic features, including the replacement of <br />damaged woodwork and the repair of the original foundation. The painted redwood sheeting is being <br />repaired and replaced with in-kind material. The non-original porch elements are being replaced with a <br />compatible design and materials. <br />7) Chemical or physical treatments that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. <br />The new porch project avoids the use of chemical or physical treatments that could cause damage to <br />historic materials, such as pressure washing or sandblasting. <br />8) Archeological resources shall be protected and preserved in place. <br />The project encompasses a porch replacement, an above-ground feature of the residence. There are no <br />known archaeological resources on the property. <br />9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials <br />that characterize the property. <br />Historic materials that characterize the property will not be destroyed by the new porch construction. <br />10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner <br />that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its <br />environment would be unimpaired. <br />The new porch could be removed in the future without impairing the essential form and integrity of the <br />historic property or its environment. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Krista Nicholds, MA, MHC <br />773-332-0311 <br />krista_nicholds@me.com <br />www.linkedin.com/in/kristanicholds <br /> <br />  <br />    <br />
