It will be built on a pin foundation which allows for no excavation and it is faster to build. E. McIntyre is asking about the roof lines and does not think the plan is aesthetically pleasing. Too many additions have been added and it looks more like a four family than a three with the new addition. E. Carlson responded the architect has done a good job of pulling the home together and making it look like a one family from the street. The roof lines will match with the garage. There is discussion of the front porch and how that will be replaced during the project. They are not in front of the board for the porch but wanted to include it in the architect plans. The addition will have a privacy fence. The board is discussing the plans with the applicant.
