Ms. Mitchell described the proposed plans for 23 Oakland Street. There is currently a <br />detached two car garage. The proposed work is on the right façade of the house. It includes an <br />attached two and a half car garage and a half bay for storage, a mudroom and great room above <br />the garage. The proposed work includes the demolition of the existing garage. <br />HC COMMENTS: <br />Mr. Kalsow asked what the opening was between the passage door and garage door. Ms. <br />Mitchell said the garage is currently designed with a 6-foot storage bay and doors there to get <br />bikes out without having to open the garage doors, but they are not quite set on the door design. <br />Ms. Fenollosa asked if the siding will be the same material as the main house. Ms. Mitchell said <br />yes, it will be clapboard and the windows will match existing windows. Ms. Fenollosa feels the <br />addition is wide but understands the need for it and feels it is sensitively designed. Mr. Kalsow
