Good morning, Ed,
This email serves as an approval of the minor scope change to enclose the north-facing openings of the
rear porch addition with smooth paneling or vertical beadboard. Please see attached copy of the COA
Amendment for your project.
The original COA Amendment will be mailed to the owner’s mailing address listed with the county
assessor. Please upload the attached copy of the signed COA Amendment to your building permit
application when you apply in the permit portal, if one is required.
The COA, or the copy, is required to be posted to the property in a location visible from the public right-
of-way during your project work. This is primarily for our code enforcement officers and surrounding
neighbors to see that the work has been permitted.
Once you have completed the work and are ready for inspection, a COA inspection will need to be
scheduled in addition to regular inspection types relevant to the project scope. At this time, please reach
out to schedule a date and time at your convenience to review the work and complete the COA
inspection.
Thanks,
Hannah Ratzlaff

Hi Hannah,
No problem at all. My computer does that all the time, I get it.
The first attachment is what was approved, the second is the proposed change with bead board full
height. You said you might prefer bead board not extend full height so provide painted smooth panel in
the upper where window was? Bead board full height offers a little visual texture to the surface.
Thank you,
Ed

Good afternoon, Ed,
Apologies for the delayed response. Your emails have been consistently routed to the
spam folder despite repeated adjustments to the filter settings—I'm unsure why this issue
persists.
Could you please provide additional context regarding the proposed modifications to the
approved scope and design? Staff has the authority to administratively review and approve
minor scope changes during construction. If pursuing this route is preferable to returning
to the Commission, I would recommend enclosing the two areas using simple solid panels
in lieu of siding.
Please note that the original concerns outlined in the staff report and raised during the
Commission meeting regarding the use of horizontal siding remain applicable to this
proposed change.
Thanks,

Hello Hannah and Christina,
Just checking back with you. Would it be possible to eliminate the north windows? FYI: We
are meeting tomorrow on site with the Contractor Joe Harrison to walk through the
Construction Documents.
Thank you for working with us through process on the wonderful historic house,
Ed

Hello Hannah and Christina,
Is it possible to eliminate the proposed windows on the narrow wall facing north? The
scheme approved by Commission is in the 1st attachment, elimination of north windows in
the 2nd, existing condition in the 3rd. The existing infill is aluminum storefront installed c.
1985.
Thank you,
Ed
