CA|2026-01 — Addition of Front Porch and Expansion to Rear of Home
Description
The owner of an 1892 historic-district home wants to remove a non-original enclosed entryway, rebuild a front porch matching the original, remove an old rear addition, expand the back of the house, and add a deck. Approved with conditions.
Impact summary
The front of the house will look more like it did in the 1890s, while the rear addition is stepped back a foot so neighbors can tell old from new. The changes at the back are largely hidden from public view.
