COA application The applicant proposed to add a dormer to the east elevation to the home and was asked to discuss the project. The applicant was accompanied by councilwoman Hemann. The applicant's objective was to expand a bumpout to expand the second-floor bathroom ceiling height. The applicant did not provide roofing samples as indicated on the application. Ms. Hemann commented that the materials would only be for the roofing materials in a like-for-like fashion and then presented specifics of the application as an 8x10 dimensional project. Mr.Neville commented that a 10-foot-high dormer would be too high for the home. Mr. Dubowski commented that on the application, a new roof would be added. Mr.Neville reiterated that a roof would not be added. Ms. Hemann was asked to provide a schematics for the roof dimensions including window dimensions, etc. Mr.Neville commented that he was mainly concerned with the aesthetics and not building specifics. Mr. Upton commented that the application would be matching the existing siding with the new and that that should suffice since there was not a change to the curb appeal of the property. Mr.Neville replied that the proposed work was very evident from the street view. Ms. Hemann reiterated that the height and depth would be the same but not as wide and that a sketch drawn by hand was included in the original project and that Sherwin Williams would match colors perfectly. Mr.Neville asked that the bracket and scalloping design on the existing dormer be matched. A 3-4 foot gap would exist between the dormers but that had not been laid out on the drawings. Mr.Neville asked that there were many omissions and that the application would have to be resubmitted. Ms. Hemann requested that a special meeting given the protracted length of time that the contractor applicant was gathering materials for submission. The contractor had been unresponsive. 1
