Ms. Aaker informed the board the subject property is located
on the east side of Woodland Road, which is just south of Kellogg
Place and north of Philbrook Lane. The home is a one story rambler
built in the late 19401s.
Ms. Aaker explained the homeowners are currently undergoing an
extensive remodeling of their home. Included in the remodeling are
a number of additions to the existing structure. All aspects of
the plans conform to ordinance requirements with one exception.
The property owners have indicated that they hope to add a covered
front entry to provide protection from the elements for visitors.
They hope to accomplish this by adding an overhang with posts over
the front steps of the home. The proposed front entry vestibule
would consist of a shingled roof with supporting posts.
