Board approves 110 Greenwood Drive COA and front‑setback pool with conditions

The Historic Preservation Board on June 24 approved a certificate of appropriateness (COA) and a Class B special use permit allowing a swimming pool within the front setback at 110 Greenwood Drive, along with alterations and a new accessory structure.

Applicant representative Jim Payne, speaking for owners Sean and Tom Cooneyhan, described a small one‑bedroom addition at the house’s northwest corner, a two‑car garage with a living unit above, and a front‑yard pool that triggered the special‑use review. Anthony Mendez, the city’s historic preservation planner for the case, recommended approval with conditions and noted staff’s review of demolition plans, elevations and streetscape imagery.

The board approved the COA with conditions that require an updated project data table; white aluminum windows and clear street‑facing glass; documentation and retention of an original front door if one exists; and a requirement that the two second‑level windows on the accessory structure be centered symmetrically in the facade. The board then granted the requested waiver and approved the Class B special use permit for the pool subject to conditions including meeting the open‑space requirement, landscaping to screen the pool from public view, and compliance of pool equipment and decking with applicable setbacks.

Motions were made and seconded on the record; the board voted to approve the COA and the waiver and then approved the Class B special‑use permit. The staff report and applicant materials were cited as the evidence supporting the board’s decisions. Several conditions require subsequent documentation and permit review by staff before final building permits are issued.
