RE: Restoration of Front Porch
515 S. Rock Street
Dear Gentlemen:
The law firm of Madden, Byarlay & Johnson has recently
purchased and moved into the above -referenced residence. The
front porch of the residence is in a dangerous state of disrepair
and we respectfully request your approval of the following
improvements:
1. The complete removal of and disposal of the existing
front porch roof and brick floor system.
2. The reconstruction, per the attached plans and
specifications, of the porch system.
We are sensitive to the continuing efforts of the Commission
to preserve the historic value of our structure as well as all
the surrounding structures. Our intent is to replace the porch
with a porch of similar design thereby keeping in line with the
already extensive restoration that has been done by our
neighbors. We feel that our design will enhance the street
appearance of the building as well as conform to the
architectural period of the structure.
We are anxious to complete this project and anticipate the
total time of construction to be two weeks from the date of your
approval to proceed. Please feel free to contact us to discuss
your questions and/or needs.
incerely,
(lr --
