Historic Preservation Board approves detached garage at 603 N. Cantrell Street
Summary
The Town of Castle Rock Historic Preservation Board approved a design-review application Sept. 3 for a 624‑square‑foot detached garage at 603 North Cantrell Street, finding the addition consistent with the Craig and Gould neighborhood’s form and materials.
The Town of Castle Rock Historic Preservation Board voted 7-0 on Sept. 3 to approve a design‑review application for a detached garage at 603 North Cantrell Street.
Planning staff presented the proposal and recommended approval. Brad Bolen, Town planning staff, told the board the proposed garage is about 624 square feet, would be placed in the northwest corner of the lot and “would not be really visible from Cantrell Street.” He said the design uses 6‑inch lap siding, a front gabled roof with shake siding, and a beige siding with white trim to match the existing 1940s house in the Craig and Gould neighborhood. “Staff does recommend approval,” Bolen said.
Scott and Sue Barnes, the property owners, were present to answer questions. Board members asked about access and visibility; Bolen confirmed the garage doors would open into a courtyard rather than directly onto the alley.
A motion to approve the application passed unanimously. The motion was made by Board member Ellen and seconded by Board member Susan. Recording secretary Chrissa conducted the roll call; the following members voted yes: Board Member Thayer; Board Member Vazani; Board Member Aranz; Board Member Warnecke; Board Member Hannish; Vice Chair Pluczynski; and Chair Lang.
The board evaluated the proposal under the town’s design‑review criteria, noting compliance with zoning setbacks and that the mass, scale and materials are consistent with the existing house and surrounding homes. Staff had flagged that the garage would be visible from the alley but not the primary street, and the board accepted staff’s recommendation.
No public comments were received in writing, and no members of the public spoke at the hearing. The board’s approval allows the owners to proceed with building the detached garage as presented, subject to any permitting and building‑code requirements handled through the town’s development review and permit process.
