To: Erica Brown and Old King’s Highway Commission
From: Janice and Bruce Richards
To the Commission members:
We are writing in support of the application of Frank and Margaret (Peggy)
Andryauskas to construct a new home on their existing lot at 50 First Way,
Barnstable.
Frank and Peggy have been immensely thoughtful and considerate in sharing
their proposed plans with abutting sets of neighbors of which we are one and
asking for our feedback.
They have discussed the latest version of their proposed plan with us and we feel
the design of the home will be appropriate and attractive to the streetscape and
tenor of the neighborhood. The house is beautifully designed and the front
porch is most welcoming for this very friendly and closely knit
neighborhood. The architectural details from windows to trims, L-shaped layout
and size are in sync with other homes in the neighborhood. The contractor, Mike
Rockwell of The House Company, creates solidly crafted homes and renovations
in keeping with the look of Cape Cod homes. We know this from personal
experience as he did two renovations at our home at 31 Second Way over the
span of 20 years and we are confident the Andryauskas home will reflect those
high standards and attention to detail and look for the surrounding
neighborhood.
We ask that you approve the design for the Andryauskas home as we feel
strongly it reflects the character of our neighborhood.
Thank you for your consideration.
Bruce and Janice Richards
31 Second Way, Barnstable
