Application from Patricia Effinger, 306 West Second.
Property is in the W. Second Residemial Historic District and classified as contributing in 1977.
According to owner, this house was built about 1910 and moved to the site from Ashland Street
in the 1930s or 1940s. There may have been a building on the site previously.
Ms. Effinger proposed to add a small overhang above the east side door. The east side is visible
from the street but is not the major facade. The drawing submitted showed a simple sloped and
shingled overhang supported by two struts at an angle back to the house wall on each side of
door. Commission found this addition:
· compatible with the size, scale and character of the original design
· could be removed at some future time without destroying the original design or material
involved no major removal of original material
Motion by Goderstad and second by Langenfeld to approve as submitted; motion carded, 5-0.
