The ramp will run from the parking lot to the site of the existing sliding glass door. The proposal is for a concrete ramp with metal railings. It will not be attached to the structure and it is designed to be removable without affecting the integrity of the structure. Providing ADA wheelchair access will necessitate removal of the sliding glass door and wood deck. Neither the door nor the deck is original to the structure and according to the former owner were built in the 1980s. The applicant proposes to place an ADA accessible door DRC20JO-00008 Type' Historical Review Page lof4 I . . . , within the existing sliding glass door opening. The new door including trim and siding will closely match the existing backdoor. The ramp will not be visible from the street. BACKGROUND/ SITE INFORMATION The Flanery House was built in the 1920s and is an example of Colonial Revival architecture. it is ranked as of Secondary Significance/Contributing in the Washburne Historic District.
