Level II. Construction of addition and outbuilding
Accessory structure; AdditionsThe homeowners wish to construct a rear addition and detached carport behind their house. The new construction is to be of smooth-finish cement stucco to complement the original cement stucco on the house. The overall width of the additions, which include a sunroom and a screened-in porch, exends across nearly the entire rear of the house at ~33 feet long, but is still offset from the corners at the widest portions of the house. The sunroom will measure 15'-6" at its deepest point and includes a wood box bay window and a pitched roof covered in clay tiles on the rear. Stuccoed parapet walls extend up the sides of the bay. The screening on the porch is divided into wood-framed panels. The entire addition is open on the lower level, with the opening defined by round arches and a lintel-topped square opening. The windows will likely be wooden and will contain simulated-divided lites. A black metal railing will surround the top level of the detached carport and a set of steps will lead up from the back yard to this top level. The carport, also of stucco, measures 32'-10" deep and 12'-8" wide. See attached drawings for full details.

1. The design of additions and accessory buildings should be consistent with the character of the main structure.
4. The recommended location for additions is to the rear or side of existing buildings. Additions to the front of buildings are not encouraged, because they obscure the original architectural designs.
8. If additions are to be made to the existing building they should be located at least five feet behind the front facade of the existing building.
9. Accessory buildings should be located at least fifteen feet to the rear of the front facade line.
