Ms. ;;Gabel. asked if I.,'ir. & fd;rs. M11 tchell, would tell the Commission
what their proposed plan is for?
Mr. Mitchell stated that their plan'is to place a screened in
porch in the back of.their home. He further stated that
currently that space is occupied by 'a deck, and that basically
what they 'want to do is enclose the deck, so that this would
provide more privacy from what is already a small backyard.

snapshot the pet.tioneers provided, showing the'back yard
and deck.
Mr.li.tchell' stated that there, -plans . are for a 14.X 10 screened
in porch on the West side of the house.He further stated that
they plan `to retain the now 6 X 10 deck, and enclosing the top,
but not the bottom.

porch, or an all year round porch?
Mrs. Mitchell stated that it would be a three season porch, and
„'that it would not be heated.
Mr. Kemper questioned if the footings would be satisfactory.
M r._Mitchell stated that the contractor had talked about pretty
much -,taking the deck down and. would require a new foundation to
be put in.
M -r. Kemper then questioned what then' would they use .to 'hold
the deck up?
Mrs. Mitchell stated that they would probably use the floor,
and the footings,
and then put "in additional footings; and a
support beam.
Mr. Kemper stated that what his question was, was that at present,
they must have some sort of timbers holding the deck up, so since
they would be redoing the footings, what are the support members
going ,to look like?
Mr. & :firs. Mitchell stated that they would have basically the.
sane support pillars put in.
Xr. Kemgner stated that he was wondering about this from an
esthetic standpoint.
:tits.- Gabel questioned if they would have a contractor do the work?
M r. Mitchell stated that yes they would have a contractor do this
