ASRB directs story poles and forwards Woodside Road compound to planning commission for formal review
Summary
The ASRB continued conceptual review of a multi-structure project on Woodside Road (demolition, new residence, detached ADU, greenhouse) and directed the applicant to install story poles before planning commission review; the greenhouse requires a conditional use permit because it exceeds 250 sq ft.
The ASRB on Monday continued conceptual design review for a multi-structure project on Woodside Road and directed the applicant to install story poles before the formal design review is forwarded to the planning commission.
Planner Sarah introduced the project and described demolition of the existing residence and attached garage, conversion of one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to a pool house, retention of an existing ADU and detached garage, and construction of a new main residence with a detached garage, a detached ADU, a gym and a greenhouse. Sarah told the board the property is three acres in the RR zoning district and that the greenhouse is more than 250 square feet, which will require a conditional use permit at the planning commission level.
Sarah and the applicant noted site details including proposed materials (natural stone veneer and tile roofs for the main residence; board-and-batten siding and corrugated metal roofs for some accessory structures) and an approximate removal of 13 trees, nine of which the applicant’s arborist identified as significant. Staff also advised the board that the town council has introduced an ordinance (pending a second reading) that could allow up to three ADUs, attached or detached, which may give the project more flexibility but could require an additional parking space or a waiver.
The applicant’s representative said the design emphasizes minimizing bulk and retaining screening where possible; they also explained that, because the greenhouse requires planning commission review, story poles will be installed during formal review to satisfy planning commission requirements. An adjacent property owner, Tory Rothstein, called in to voice support for the project and welcomed the proposed screening and the 12‑foot separation between ADU structures.
After discussion, a member moved and another seconded that the board continue the conceptual design review with the direction that the applicant install story poles and that the formal design review be forwarded to the planning commission. The motion passed by roll call.
The ASRB’s vote continues the design review process; the greenhouse and any conditional use permit requirements will be handled at the planning commission hearing, and staff said neighbors will be notified when story poles and the formal package are scheduled for review.
