Proposed Work: Remove up to 4" inches of trim/posts, on each side of the three bay windows, so that we can expand the replacement window and ultimately provide more open glass area for the client's dwelling (dining and living room. This proposed modification would require narrower trim on either side of each window, however, we would maintain the same black metal trim and previously approved black windows see APP #24.0474 SE. The resulting change would allow 30% more light.
