ARB approves screened porch and deck at Countryside Drive with additional verticals on side elevations
Summary
The board approved a covered, screened porch and adjacent Trex deck at 217 Countryside Drive after requesting added vertical members on side elevations to break up large screen panels.
The South Russell Village Architect Review Board approved alterations at 217 Countryside Drive (ARB Case 25-23217) to enclose an existing patio with a 18-by-18 screened porch and add an adjacent 14-by-16 Trex open deck approximately 12 inches above grade.
Applicant Jerry Pena and his contractor described the lot as pie-shaped and said the existing patio measures roughly 20 by 20. The board confirmed the project did not require additional zoning review and noted the construction would sit more than 32 feet from property lines. The porch will use prepainted post-and-beam elements painted white, and the applicant said asphalt shingles will match the existing roof.
Board members requested additional vertical division in the large side screen panels so the façades read as smaller proportions rather than a single large expanse of screen. The applicant—s contractor said the screen system uses a rail and stretched screen and agreed to add verticals on the right and left elevations. A motion to approve the project as noted (with verticals added on the two side elevations) passed by voice vote.
The board recorded no roll-call tally in the transcript; the applicant will proceed with permits and installation consistent with the approved details.
