NEW BUSINESS 18-11850; :Robert & Laura Parrv; 27150 Butternut Ridge Road Representatives: Robert _ & I,aura Parry, owners; Terry Bennett, Ben ; nett Builders Mr. Parry thanked the commission for having a special meeting to help keep their project progressing. They have lived in the home since 1976 and are adding a bedroom, bathroom and laundry room on the first floor to accommodate their needs as they get older. The addition would be built to the rear of the home and will have a small connection to the home to have minimal impact on the house. A six foot by six foot hallway will be installed where an existing window is to connect the addition to the home. The front and sides of the home would not be affected. The addition would be one story high and would only be visible from the rear yard of the neighbor to the west. The home was built in 1917 and is a 2-1/2 story colonial with a north-south gable running the length of the house. The house is sided with cement shingles which covers the original four-inch lap siding that matches the garage. The addition will have a north-south gable and long eaves, around 18 to 24 inches wide, similar to the home. Ail of the window openings are original, except one casement window that was installed in the kitchen before the applicant bought the home. The new windows will have the same proportions as the existing windows, approximately 2:1. All of the doors and windows have five-inch wide trim that will be carried through on the addition. The addition will have four-inch vinyl siding to match the garage. The roof would match the existing roof. Mr. Bennett stated that the architectural aesthetics and construction cost were considered in the project. They did not want the structure to look out of character from the neighborhood and he feels that it will fit in well, even with the vinyl siding. The existing shingles are three tab shingles but the addition will have architectural shingles in a similar color since the roof will need to be replaced soon.
