2. An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness by Deania and Robert Becker at 142 West Riverglen Drive to build a screened summer house/gazebo in the backyard.

The master bedroom will be extended another 8 feet to the east. John Oberle stated they decided the additional 8 feet would give them more room inside as well as provide a better roof line and make the addition look more like the existing house. The windows, siding, shingles and brick will match existing. There are no other changes to the original application. No decisions have been made yet regarding the open area between the two new additions and Oberle will submit plans once they decide. A $2,000 street bond will be required.
