This location is not visible from the street, and on the side of the yard opposite the barn is a hedge —10 feet high. Given that the land slopes from the front of the property towards the back (with woods beyond the back of it), the patio height will be ground -level in places but will rise above the ground to achieve a level base. Where it rises, it will not rise beyond —22 inches. The retaining wall will use Pennsylvania fieldstone to be in keeping with both the existing fieldstone along the driveway and the rocks used in the foundation of the back of the barn (which is built into the slope of the land). Porcelain everblue pavers, similar to blue stone, will be used on the patio itself for a natural appearance, to reinforce a common appearance across the materials being used. Pennsylvania Fieldstone Everblue Pavers Where the ground slopes towards the driveway between the house and barn, a set of 4-foot-wide granite steps will be installed, which will not be visible from the street. The granite will further the natural material and common appearance. A second set of steps will be installed behind the barn, at the far end of the patio, ending with a short walkway to the parking area. This will have cobblestones bordering the everblue tiles. This will be fully at ground level and again not able to be seen from the street. Off of the patio, near the end of the deck, a 12-inch high retaining wall will run from one side of the backyard to the other. This will allow soil to be backfilled on the house side to support the addition of flowers and shrubs with a defined border. It would only be visible from the rear of the backyard. In summary, the patio installation will be off of the kitchen and deck and rear of the barn, at ground level in the front, with a small stone retaining wall along one side and the rear. Granite steps and a fully ground -level walkway will allow access to the driveway and parking area. A smaller retaining wall off of it in the backyard will define a space to improve the plantings. Nothing will be visible from the street. APPROVED MAY 4 5 2023 YAHIVIUW h Supporting photographs., This first photo shows the area where the patio will be. It runs from the deck stairs and rear of the house to about where the rear barn window is located. There is an existing stone retaining wall beside the stairs which already needs repair. The patio would be slightly wider than that current section, to allow safe placement of a barbecue grill away from the house. The gutter drainpipe would be the location of where the 12-inch retaining wall across the back yard would begin. The small gap between the barn and rear of the house is where the granite steps to the driveway would be. The wooden "deck" there currently is free-standing, with bricks under the corners to be slightly off the ground. On a side note, that presents an issue for the barn, since it is above where the clapboard starts, too tight against the barn, and contributed to the sill rot that was a sienificant issue when the barn was saved in 2022. RECnVED APR 2 4 2023 OLD KINGS HIGHWAY AP PROVED MAY 0 5 2023 ni „. Y tkjuU rh The second photograph shows how the land behind the barn is flat closest to the rear of the house but slopes away to the parking area furthest from the street. This is why the stone retaining wall is needed to maintain the level surface. This also shows why there would be granite stairs and then the level walkway to the parking area to the left of the barn. (Note: the darker stones at the left base of the barn are a pile of flagstones, the barn foundation itself is rock and same significant cement patching.) ECFI D APR 2 4 2023 /Ar1ivl{)U7 t-, 'iAin'n .
