Summary of Board Comments:
-The 152 SF area from the existing garage converted to interior living space does not appear to be in
the project totals.

now that the stone veneer has been removed.
-Rack tile caps are not allowed on gable and rack ends.

match garage door entrance and one window (second floor) in the north elevation.
-Replace Palo Verde trees with another tree- possibly Cassia.
-Current design will require a Minor Modification approved by the City.
