I live in a similar home on the other side of the alley at 1017 Cumberland St. The roof line adjustment change they've proposed would be a large improvement to the rear of the home, and would have minimal impact on the street view. The proposed changes also manage to keep the chimneys intact. I agree with staff that having dormers and a new ridge become visible is less than ideal, however I'm at a loss as to what else could be recommended. I know that Greg and Stephanie have put a lot of time and consideration into doing right by the street view as much as possible. The proposed metal fence is ornate, but I hear they're getting a bargain price on it, and that's pretty blue collar. It looks neat and I wouldn't mind seeing it put to use.

We live in a Victorian cottage on Rock Street between 10th and 11th streets. Our house was built in 1887. We believe at one point the kitchen had a flat roof and at some time in the early 90's was altered to a gabled roof (one on each side). The house was also sided with aluminum siding and the front porch was screened in. Several small items we would like to address with the front of the house are: 1. Replace the front and side door of the front porch with a more appropriate door that match each other 2. Replace the four by fours that currently act as columns for our front porch (left over from the screened in porch) with appropriate turned columns 3. Put up a black, wrought iron fence across the front of the house with a gate. Our neighbors existing wood fence would run down the side of our two house on the North side. 4. Install shutters on all windows that at one time had shutters (as confirmed by Brian Minyard) I have found and attached photos of the type of front door we would like to use and the turned columns. I will have to have some guidance from staff on the style and size of shutters that would have been used on our house but have attached photos of the type of shutter we are assuming would have been used. In reference to the fence, I have attached a photo of the style fence we would like to install but I do not have the actual fence at this time. We would like to find an antique fence to use if possible. Brian did suggest that a wood fence may be more appropriate for our style of house. My concerns are that my neighbors have a beautiful wood fence that runs along the front of their house that we would like to extend down the side of the house between our two houses. If we were to also put a wood fence up in front of our house we might start looking a little bit like a compound. I also prefer the ease of maintenance that an iron fence affords but rely of the committee to guide us on this. When my husband and I bought the house in 1992, we updated many things in the house that had been neglected over the years and finished what had been left incomplete with the back of the house alternations. For the first few years we did not realize there was any problem with the roof. We then started to notice a small leak when it would rain. We attempted countless repairs and gutters and finally put a new roof which included all new decking. After a while the leak came back. It has been years of patches and everything you can think of to stop the leak and damage being done. We have replaced the interior wall twice and a rotten seal once. We have finally come to the conclusion that the problem with the roof cannot be repaired with any type of patch. We have had two contractors look at the house and both agree that with the way the roof is designed right now, too much water flow is created in the valley and that if left unchanged we will never have a resolution. The two options offered to us were flat roof or removing the back two gables and making one big gable. Basically we will be scooping out the inside and joining the two outsides in the middle at a higher point and bringing them out to the back of the house. This new height will be able to be seen over the front roof line of the house. At the final drawings it looks like this new piece to the roof will peak over about 4 % feet over the existing roof line. The new gable would have the same trim and relief as the other gables. We would also like to add dormers on each side of the new gable. These dormers would also have the same trim and relief as the existing gables. The line drawings provided indicate dormers with much longer windows that are required. At the time of drawings we thought the windows in the dormers had to be the same size as the existing windows so they are sketched with 77" windows. As the windows get smaller so will the dormers to a more appropriate size. The last piece we would like to address is the pitch on our garage space behind the house. We would like to increase the pitch of the roof to 12 x 12 to match the house. We would also like to add an exterior stair case on the north side if possible for access to what we would like to use as storage space. The garage cannot be seen from the street except for a small patch of roof. All siding and trim will match what is original to the house. One last note about the roof, the option of the flat roof did not leave us with the ceiling height we wanted inside nor the aesthetic that we were looking for outside. I have spent countless hours driving our downtown neighborhoods looking for inspiration and guidance as to what style would have been appropriate had the change been made correctly from the beginning. Although what we are proposing may not have been the builder's original intention, we feel address our modern day needs while still recognizing the history and style of the neighborhood in which we live and love.
