Design Guidelines for Dormers

This document issued in 1996, is used by the Board of Zoning Appeals to help property owners, and the design and building professionals working them, create dormers that will increase the living space of an attic story while retaining the basic design integrity of the building and roof lines. This file is in PDF format and requires use of the free Adobe Acrobat viewer.
