NEW BUSINESS 21-18538; Biltmore Properties; 26512 Butternut Ridge Road Representatives: Brian O'Donnell and Debbie Welsh, owners Mr. O'Donnell said the existing 20 by 20 foot gabled garage was damaged by a fire and a permit was issued for its demolition. The new garage will be the same size as the previous garage and the shingles, siding and color will match the house. The previous owner covered eight windows in the family room on the east side of the house with vinyl siding and paneling. The applicant would like to replace these windows with new vinyl windows to match the front of the house. Five windows will be replaced on the east wall and three on the north wall. Mr. Schumann asked if the gable on the new garage will be a side gable similar to the previous garage. Discussion regarding gable types and the conflicting images and plans. The drawing of the new garage shows a front gable, but the image of the proposed garage door shows a side gable. The new garage will have a single 16 -foot door with more decorative carriage -style elements included. Ms. Welsh clarified that the new garage will have a front gable, instead of the side gable like the previous garage. Mr. Schumann thought the side gable would be more appropriate for the house. Mr. Neville pointed out that the house has a side gable. Ms. Welsh said they can make the garage have a side gable. The uncovered windows and header locations in the sunroom will not be changed. Mr. Neville thought adding the windows back to the house will look much better and Mr. O'Donnell added that the amount of natural light will be greatly increased. Mr. Schumann was surprised that the previous owner covered the windows up and thought it would be good to replace them. Mr. Schumann asked if double hung windows will be installed, Mr. O'Donnell said they would be.
