Board reviews rear addition at 178 Lake Avenue; asks for minor clarifications and confirms materials
Summary
Design Review commissioners generally supported a rear addition at 178 Lake Avenue, asked the applicant to confirm fenestration and window types, and noted the addition meets light/ventilation requirements; no formal objection recorded.
The board briefly reviewed a proposed rear addition to a house at 178 Lake Avenue on March 19. The applicant (engineer Mike Renda represented by David Smith) presented plans showing the addition would square off the rear footprint and move an existing rear entry into the new addition; the addition projects about six feet behind the existing rear wall.
Board members asked to confirm materials and window types. The presenter said new windows would match existing vinyl windows and that the siding and trim would match the existing house. The board noted the applicant submitted a light and ventilation analysis in compliance with New York State Building Code and asked for any enlarged elevations or clarified roof transitions to be included in the permit set. The board had no objection to the proposed work but asked staff to ensure permit documents reflect the approved details.
Next steps: applicant to provide additional elevation drawings and the permit application to the building department; board staff will verify window and siding match on the permit drawings.
