Consultation: two-story 20x10 porch addition proposed for 205 Bank Street
Summary
Applicants proposed a 20-by-10 two-story rear porch addition for 205 Bank Street designed to tie into the existing 32-by-32 house; commissioners offered design guidance on visibility, materials and stormwater integration.
Applicants presented a proposal for a two-story porch addition — 20 feet by 10 feet — at the rear of the house at 205 Bank Street and sought the commission's feedback. Commissioners noted the proposal aims to limit visibility from the street and to use maintenance-free materials to match the house's trim.
"The porch is a proposed 20 by 10 2 story scribe porch addition to the rear of the house," the applicant said, noting the dimensions and intent to match the existing house scale. Commissioners discussed roof shingles, porch ceiling materials, color choices (first-floor Bermuda blue, second-floor sandstone beige mentioned for interior), and the effect of changing windows to doors. Staff emphasized returning with construction details to confirm compatibility with the historic-district guidelines and suggested landscape or raised-bed details to manage stormwater flow.
