Mr. Quezada stated they are replacing the stairs because they do not comply with the Code. The stairs would be more open and harmonious with the style of the house. They would incorporate an arch detail on the top of the columns and a new railing that complies with the Village Code. They are replacing some floor joists and adding coping stones to the top of the brick piers. The columns would be white with an accent color on the top and bottom. Mr. McCarthy asked the material of the columns. Mr. Quezada stated it would be a pressure treated lumber.

Mr. Quezada suggested using an alternate material such as Trex. Mr. McCarthy asked if the porch roof would be reframed. Mr. Quezada stated the owners had a permit to re-roof part of the roof, but the slope and shape of the roof would not change. They would replace the main beam that wraps around.
