Mr. Eric Jackson addressed the board. He stated that the remodel will improve the structure, which ultimately helps the neighborhood. He also said that the rehabilitation will improve the house structurally and will prolong its useful life. The meeting was adjourned and reconvened in Council Chambers. The public comment was closed.

He pointed out that French doors are very common in modern remodels and the doors will be in character with the windows and house.

Board Member lrons pointed out that the building in the Architecture and Historic guide is similar to the project, which makes him feel more comfortable with the project.
