Previous Informal Comments - 09/19/23:

• Context drawings are necessary for formal review.

• The window sizing and placement should be regularized.  All header heights should match.

• There should be more openings toward the front of the house on both side elevations.

• The porch depth of 4’ is too shallow.

• Base flood measurements should be included.

• The full concrete driveway may only be parking strips or permeable pavers.

• The columns on the porch should be rectangular and not square.  6x8 columns (with the 8” side running parallel to the street) should be used.

• The configuration of Hardie board siding is not called out.  (What style of siding is being proposed?)

• The mechanical units in the rear overlap a window.  They should move to the right side of the rear wall, where there are no windows.

• It seems like a strange condition to have living space overhanging the porch.

• The overhang condition should match between the front and back portions of the building.  The overhangs on the front portion of the building are too deep.

• If you choose not to use overhangs, gutters and downspouts should be added.

• The trim on the sides of the front gable should continue down to meet the trim board on the bottom.

• The trim above the windows is too large in proportion.  The trim should be very simple and about half the width.

• The setback from the street may be too great.  The front of the house should align with others on the block.
