To whom it may concern:
It is the intent of CARR Enterprises to repair the exterior of the property located on 904 South
Commerce Street. A recent inspection of the property has revealed that much of the exterior is severely
damaged to the point where if repairs are not made the structure of the building will be seriously
compromised.
The overall goal of this project is to preserve the basic integrity of this property and upgrading its energy
savings while improving the aesthetics of the house.
In consideration of the state of the property and the budget allowed for repairs we request that leniency
be made in the selection of some materials, methods and design aspects of the overall project.
All installations and construction designs have been made with regard to local building codes.
The scope of the proposes repairs are in three parts: 1. Siding and trim 2. Front porch rebuild 3. Window
replacement.

-Replace all rotten or damaged siding with matching beveled yellow pine %" X 6" weatherboards. -------

-Replace all rotten or damaged "mud boards" with 1 X 12" finger joint cedar.

-Replace existing 4 X 4 columns with square 8 X 8 fiberglass with base and cap.
-Add spindled frieze detail between columns as to integrate Queen Anne architectural elements. Frieze
cap and base to be made from 5/4 poplar and 2 X 2 poplar spindles.

flooring and stairs.
