703 S Park St — porch removal and new deck
Kalamazoo
Description
The owner wants to remove the historic side porch of his 1900 Colonial Revival house and replace it with a roughly 9.5' x 6' step-less deck for tenant use. Postponed to May after the applicant missed the meeting due to a staff email error.
Impact summary
The tenants get a usable outdoor space, and the city gets a repaired facade on a highly visible corner — though a future owner could still rebuild the original-style porch.
