The City of Euclid Architectural Review Board on Sept. 25 approved design review for a one-story, approximately 84-square-foot covered deck-style patio at 20331 Wilmore with two conditions: the exposed foundation must be faced in brick veneer to match adjacent masonry, and the roof pitch must be revised to no more than 1 in 12.

The applicant returned to the board after a prior hearing to provide additional materials, elevations and samples showing how the low, shed-style roof would sit with the house’s existing Cape Cod architecture. City planning staff told the board the property is a 1,264-square-foot, 1½-story single-family home built in 1949, the proposed cover would meet zoning requirements for the U‑2 residential district, and “staff is not opposed to granting design review approval of the addition,” subject to the board’s conditions.

Board members pressed the applicant on clearances and details the contractor had updated since the prior hearing: how the patio cover ties to existing gutters and flashings, how posts will sit on a masonry base matching the house, whether railings will be replaced to match, and whether the storm door would have adequate headroom. The applicant’s representative explained the chosen aluminum column finish is an anodized white and that a treated-wood post is possible but would change railing details.

After discussion, a board member moved to approve the design with the two conditions (brick veneer matching the adjacent masonry and roof revised to no more than 1 in 12). The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.

Next steps: the applicant may submit building-permit plans reflecting the approved materials and pitch; the board’s approval imposes the two conditions the ARB recorded at the meeting.
