This carefully <br />considered project prioritizes safety, architectural enhancement, and environmental <br />stewardship, all while maintaining the character and footprint of the existing structure. <br />Given the home's age, the remodel includes essential upgrades to improve the building's overall <br />safety and structural integrity. This includes updates to roofing, framing, and drainage systems, <br />ensuring the home meets modern safety standards. <br />The proposed design also enhances both the street -facing and lakeside elevations, bringing a <br />refreshed yet respectful architectural presence to the neighborhood. These improvements will <br />result in a more cohesive and visually appealing façade, blending the home more harmoniously <br />into its surroundings. <br />Importantly, the remodel does not expand the existing footprint of the structure as the <br />addition is designed to stay within the current building envelope. Furthermore, the proposed <br />roofline modifications are designed not only to complement the home's updated look but also <br />to improve water management by more effectively diverting runoff away from the structure, <br />reducing potential drainage issues on the property. <br />Finally, careful attention has been given to the existing site and surrounding properties. The <br />remodel will not obstruct views from any neighboring homes, preserving the scenic vistas that <br />are a valued aspect of our community. The remodel will also not affect or remove any of the <br />existing trees on the property. <br />We appreciate your thoughtful consideration and respectfully request your approval to proceed <br />with these improvements to preserve, protect, and enhance this historic home for generations <br />to come. <br />Sincerely, <br />David C. Zweber – Principal <br />David Charlez Designs <br />18476 Kenrick Ave <br />Lakeville, MN 55044 <br />13
