Guidelines, Section(s) 15301(e)(1), the proposed project involving alterations to an existing, three-story-over basement, 6,923-square foot residence. The proposed alterations would: 1) add
a dormer window on the eastern portion of the front fa‡ade (south side) at the third floor (attic level); 2) raise the height of, and enlarge, the existing dormer at the rear of the property
(north side), so as to be habitable space as defined by the Building Code; 3) add new stairs from the existing first-story deck to the back yard; 4) add penetrations to the existing wall to
add new windows at the second story at the rear; 5) add four new penetrations for four new windows and close up an existing window on the east fa‡ade; and 6) add three new penetrations for
three new windows and close up three existing windows on the west fa‡ade. As considered by the Planning Department, the proposed alterations constitute alteration, fa‡ade alterations and
horizontal extensions at the front, side and rear of the structure. The project would also resurface the roof at the second floor northeast corner for use as a deck and re-roof the existing
asbestos shingle roof. The proposed addition and construction would be minor additions to the existing building envelope.
