Ridgewood Terrace plan restores front entrance, adds two-story rear infill
Summary
Design team proposed reinstating a traditional front entry and adding a two-story rear infill on a house originally built in 1910 and altered in 2006; reviewers asked for clearer elevations and to keep new work visually consistent with surrounding houses.
The applicant presented a revised sheet titled 'Ridgewood Terrace' describing a house built around 1910 that later received a full second floor in 2006. The team proposed restoring a front entrance that had been lost when a prior owner enclosed the original porch, and adding a two-story infill at the rear. The presenter said the change will fill a blank wall across the front and create a new covered walkway between doors.
Reviewers flagged the need for clearer elevations for the back-of-garage elevation and discussed sun exposure and visibility; the owner preferred not to add windows on the rear first-floor garage wall, and the presenter said upper-floor storage-area windows were added to the drawings instead. The panel requested the revised elevations and clearer photographs and expected the applicant to return with sketches before permit issuance.
