Board approves final plans for new second dwelling at 1308 Casique Street with glazing condition
Summary
The board granted final approval for a new two‑story second residential unit and carport at 1308 Casique Street, with a condition that second‑floor south‑facing windows be obscure (or bottom‑half obscure) to protect neighboring privacy.
The Board approved final plans April 14 for a new two‑story second residential unit at 1308 Casique Street that includes an extended driveway for two parking spaces and a single carport. Final approval was conditioned on the second‑floor south‑elevation windows being either fully opaque or having the bottom half opaque to maintain neighbor privacy.
The architect, Tom Ochsner, said the design teams reduced interior plate heights, refined planting and privacy treatments, and located bicycle parking and trash near circulation paths. The board asked the applicant to obscure certain second‑floor openings or raise sills to avoid sightlines into neighboring yards; the applicant said the intent was to use obscure glass for the lower portion of the relevant windows.
Board action A motion to grant final approval with the stated glazing condition passed unanimously; recorded votes show all present members voting yes. The board also asked staff to ensure bike‑parking counts and fixture details met code and to verify the light fixture glass and finish.
Next steps Staff will verify the applicant provides the opaque glazing detail on the second‑floor south elevation and confirm bike parking and lighting details before building permits are issued.
