STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1.Staff does support the request to change the front walkway from a red brick, separated paver walkway
to a gray brick, continuous walkway.
2.Staff does not support the proposed boxwood screening. Staff recommends this area of the proposed
landscaping updates be denied and the 1’ maintenance border be installed.
3.As discussed previously with the project monitors, staff supports the use of pea gravel in the maintenance
border around the historic resource, and the use of 3-5” pebble around the addition.
4.Staff supports the planting updates at the rear yard. Staff does not support the expansion of the patio,
which encroaches on the historic sheds.
