Board delays sunroom approval, requires revised elevations and coordination on 275-sq.-ft. addition
Summary
The South Russell Village Architectural Review Board deferred approval of a proposed 275-square-foot sunroom by OS Construction and instructed the applicant to submit accurate elevations showing how the addition intersects existing rooflines and windows.
The South Russell Village Architectural Review Board on Oct. 13 declined to approve plans for a proposed 275-square-foot sunroom (Gen92ARMCase25-12) and directed the applicant to resubmit revised drawings that include full elevations and coordination with existing rooflines and windows.
The project, presented by Alan Schumacher of OS Construction, would replace a prior deck footprint with a new enclosed sunroom. Board members said the packet and on-screen drawings lacked reliable elevations showing how the new roof, a large new window, and existing roof valleys and bay elements would intersect. One board member said, “We can’t get any approval without having proper drawings here,” and the board requested front, side and rear elevations that clearly show the connections and roof pitches.
Board members also discussed a tight dimensional condition near an upstairs bedroom and noted the site plan’s 15-foot dimension versus a 14-foot-6-inch addition dimension that left only about six inches of clearance at one corner on the submitted plan. Members flagged a potential conflict where a bay window and roof valley would meet the new sunroom roof and asked the applicant to demonstrate how the new window and cathedral ceiling would be accommodated without unplanned conflicts.
In discussion the board said the appropriate next step was to submit an updated set of plans with accurate elevations and side views showing how the addition ties into existing building elements. The board then moved to require the revised submittal; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board set resubmittal and review for the next meeting cycle referenced on the record as Oct. 21 meeting window; staff and the applicant discussed a 2-week resubmittal timeframe, though the board emphasized that approval cannot proceed until accurate drawings are provided.
The board did not approve the sunroom as submitted and asked that the revised plans accurately reflect existing conditions and include the missing elevations necessary for technical review. If resubmitted with the requested elevations and coordination details, the board indicated it would take up the item at a future meeting.
