Urban Design Review Board approves exterior paint at 5217 Lindale Circle after compliance review

The Forest Park Urban Design Review Board voted to approve the exterior paint for a single-family home at 5217 Lindale Circle on Oct. 17 after staff told the board the application met design criteria.

Staff told the board the house would be painted Sherwin-Williams Pure White with black trim and that the review found the design “is in harmony with the community” and posed no negative visual impacts or effects on scenic or natural views. The staff presentation noted the work appeared to have already been completed and that the matter likely arose from a code compliance issue.

The board asked staff to clarify colors and the packet photos; staff apologized that the printed photos did not reproduce the paint colors clearly. A board member asked whether the house had already been painted; staff said it had and that the applicant was present if the board required further explanation.

A motion to approve the application carried with the board’s recorded voice vote. The approval included no additional conditions beyond staff’s finding that the design met applicable review criteria.

The item was heard under new business and concluded with the board’s standard vote procedure.
