On a separate question. Are there any set backs that we should follow? are There restrictions to elevation ( partion brick wall between lots is approximately 7ft)The site doesn’t really call out for anything to be elevated, but it depends on what the characteristics of the design element that’s implemented and what it’s projecting visually to adjacent neighbors across all homes backyards in that block. Please emphasize for clarity. i just imagine in a really life scenario if all lots had varios types of raised or elevated structures or suspended elements of personal design choice it would visually and aesthetically ruin the harmony between all aligned yards and clash.

So we cannot demo the raised deck or existing hand rails, but we can articulate through secondary elements of design to either complement or transform the existing. do I concur with what you just stated?
