ARB approves deck post caps for 418 Webster Forest Drive
Summary
The board approved the deck renovation at 418 Webster Forest Drive and directed that post caps shown on the detail be included on the elevations.
The Webster Architecture Review Board approved a deck renovation at 418 Webster Forest Drive with the clarifying requirement that post caps shown in the construction detail be included on the elevation drawings.
A board member asked whether the post caps shown in the detail were intended to appear on the elevation drawings; members agreed that the caps make the posts look more finished and improve durability by protecting end grain. The applicant representative confirmed the caps would be installed and that they would be finished to match the post color.
Formal action: the board approved 418 Webster Forest Drive with the understanding that post caps illustrated on page 6 of the submittal be included on the permit drawings and installed as shown. The motion passed unanimously.
During the meeting the applicant also asked an unrelated procedural question about accessory-structure building permits for a proposed small shed; staff confirmed a separate permit is required for a freestanding shed under 200 square feet.
