Rear 16x16 addition at 9111 Lawn approved; board offers optional hip‑roof alternate

The Architectural Review Board approved a 16-by-16 rear addition to 9111 Lawn on June 18, with board members asking the applicant to consider an optional hip‑roof configuration that would better match the house's existing form.

Doug Winter, contractor representing the owner, described a framed addition on a stem wall foundation with white siding and trim. The proposed roof is a standard tie‑in; board members discussed whether the back corner should be finished with a hip roof to better match the existing hip roofs on the house and neighboring properties. Winter said the addition will use factory trusses and that a hip option would require a redesign and possibly extra cost; the board asked the applicant to check with the truss fabricator about whether a hip option is feasible without returning to the board.

Board members noted the addition faces a neighbor's driveway and said the large expanse of siding in that location did not require additional articulation. The board instructed staff to include an approved alternate noting the hip‑roof option so the owner could select it without needing to return to the board if the truss fabricator can provide the option.

Action: The board voted to approve the addition as submitted and requested that staff record an approved alternate for the hip roof if the applicant elects it. The motion carried with board members voting yes.

Next steps: Applicant to coordinate truss design and confirm whether the hip alternative is pursueable and provide that detail during permit submittal; staff to include the alternate in the approval notes.
