Commission approves driveway variance and 2,226‑sq‑ft addition at 9244 Castle Rock Court
Summary
The commission granted a driveway‑setback variance and unanimously approved a major residential addition and concept stormwater review at 9244 Castle Rock Court, subject to staff conditions and pending consultant stormwater comments.
Olivette — The Planning & Community Development Commission on Dec. 19 authorized a driveway‑setback variance and approved a 2,226‑square‑foot residential addition at 9244 Castle Rock Court, after hearing from the architect and civil engineer about design and stormwater mitigation.
Jack (planning staff) explained the petition required site plan review because the lot is deficient in depth and the applicant requested a driveway variation to keep an existing curb alignment within 5 feet of the northeast lot line. Staff also described proposed stormwater mitigation: NDS flow‑well installations wrapped with filter fabric, pop‑up emitters and a v‑shaped well in the rear yard; details were transmitted to the city’s stormwater consultant for verification.
Architect Lauren Stratman described the addition as a family‑oriented project with a new main‑level master, a three‑car side‑entry garage and limited second‑floor additions toward the rear. Civil engineer Mark Kilgore said the mitigation system would capture downspouts and discharge via a level spreader and pop‑up emitter to existing contours.
Commissioner Brian Lewis moved to authorize the driveway‑setback variation and approve the site‑plan petition; Tim (Spiegel) Glass seconded. The commission voted to approve the variance and then unanimously approved the site‑plan, community‑design and concept‑stormwater review for the addition as presented, subject to staff conditions and final consultant comments.
Next steps: Staff will forward consultant stormwater comments to the petitioner and coordinate required conditions before building permits are issued.
