Description of Project, Letter of demolition justification and structure condition report.
To Whom It May Concern,
The existing 1‐story, non‐sprinklered residence located at 16336 Shady View Lane is a ranch style home
of wood and stucco siding, and composite roof over conventional raised floor spread footing foundation.
The home was built in 1952 to building codes of the time. The structure is of reasonable condition with
no signs of major structural failure and does not pose any significant risk to person or property.
Although the existing home is in good condition, it lacks the benefits of recent building codes such as
seismic improvements and energy savings. We are proposing to build a new 2‐story Spanish style home
with 2 car garage and pool at the rear yard. The new home will be constructed in compliance with
current codes using modern methods and materials and will be fully sprinklered. Further, the new home
will make more efficient use of the site and will be aesthetically compatible with the Town guidelines
and immediate neighborhood. Landscape and site work design will utilize materials and methods
consistent with current green building measures and be compatible with the site and surrounding
neighborhood.
We feel that the new home will be a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Regards,
