Returned without action. Permit submission for the installation of eight vinyl replacement windows with grilles between the glass at an existing house, as shown in materials received and dated 6 February 2026, has been withdrawn at the written request of the applicant on 2 June 2026. Forward a fully documented submission for non-vinyl windows with exterior profile muntins consistent with the character of the Shipstead-Luce Act area when ready.

No objection to the issuance of a permit for the installation of a replacement wooden deck and fence at the rear yard of an existing house, as shown in materials received and dated 6 March 2026 and supplemental materials received and dated 13 March 2026 and 5 June 2026, PROVIDED that the existing front yard storage shed and deck located partially in public space, which was installed without CFA review and possibly without a permit, be removed as part of this project, PROVIDED that all tree roots with a diameter greater than two inches be avoided, whether the trees are on the subject property or on an adjacent property, and pending the receipt of supplemental materials.
