Motion passed. V. Certificate of Appropriateness Interview Mike & Donna McKinney, 1520 Dearborn Street (addition, windows, and landscaping features). Mike McKinney told us that hew has spoken to City Hall and they told him he needs a C of A. He explained that the back half of the house is a new addition., He would match the garage to the house. Jan B�ask if there was a garage there previously and Mike was unsure. The back portion of the lot is all gravel. The • room over the garage would match roof line of the house. Mike is willing to cooperate with our recommendations. The fencing is an improvement. Chuck said we have a few questions. Would the roof of the garage exceed the roof of the house? Answer was "no". Did it meet set back measurements? If the garage was attached to the house the requirements are different than if it was detached. There was also a question about the pergola - the proposed size? Mike reported that they proposed a glass slider and windows to match the others in the house. The pergola would give good access 'from the garage to the house. He is not opposed to a detached garage if that is necessary. He could shorten the garage if necessary to meet Set Back. Jan said if it weren't attached he wouldn't need the connecting section of roof line. Steve felt a detached garage would be more time period appropriate. The pergola would offer protection to and from the garage and offer a certain amount of shade. Chuck felt that we could approve He felt that lattice would be more time period appropriate than Plexiglas for the pergola. Steve moved we approve a detached garage with a roof line to match the house, siding and windows to match the house. Recommendation of French doors instead of a glass slider and lattice or open roof on the pergola. Elaine L. seconded. Motion passed. VI.
