Applicant Request
Other: enclosure of second story porch
Modify central window of front of enclosed porch by reducing depth of brick mold trim around window and chamfering it so that it appears less intrusive, by painting lower stool so it blends with shingles below window, and by "painting out" window sash so it receeds into overall plane of glass enclosure; side window modifications include only "painting out" the window stool and window sash.
