addition which attempts to be consistent with the existing house. Mr. Lachman stated the proposed Pella door as

disappearing when opened because the handles can be removed.

a large change to the house in the historic district, how the door will function, that according to code a railing

will not be needed, the type and style of the siding and trim above the windows and that the vertical siding

introduces a new element to the design, that the natural vegetation screening effectively blocks the view of the

addition, and the possibility of using larger windows, or a flat panel at the top.
