Oaks Historic District. Location: 2471 Long. Applicant: Dawn Tollefson.
Mr. Richardson stated that staff recommended conditional approval of the request based on
the Board of Adjustment granting a variance approval for setback regulations. Staff
maintained that the addition is in conformance with the existing historic district regulations,
complements the existing structure and would not be a detriment to the neighborhood.

applicant. Dawn Tollefson of 2471 Long, applicant, stated that at the present time they were
trying to improve the property by taking the present garage down. She stated that the garage
could fall at any time. They want to try to put every effort into keeping the structure the
same as it is now with a bedroom over the garage that would be linked to the house. The
present garage has a drainage problem which the applicant hopes to correct by adjusting the
roofline.
Chairman Bell then asked if anyone was present who would like to speak in opposition to
this application. No one did.
