ASRB approves formal review for renovation and ADU at 25 Martin Lane
Loading...
Summary
The Woodside ASRB found the owner’s design revisions responsive to conceptual feedback and voted to approve the 25 Martin Lane project (remodel, addition, attached ADU) with conditions to reduce landscape lighting and include tree protections.
The Woodside Architectural Site Review Board approved formal processing for a remodel and addition at 25 Martin Lane, including an attached accessory dwelling unit, after staff confirmed the applicants addressed prior conceptual-review comments.
Planner Melanie Olsen told the board the revised plans relocate mechanical equipment, reduce north-facing glazing, reorient the ADU entry away from the adjacent neighbor, and include hedges and an arborist-recommended tree-protection plan. Staff recommended removing or reducing several landscape bollard lights to limit off-site light emission; the board agreed and included lighting adjustments as conditions.
Board members complimented the applicant for responding to neighborhood concerns and for preserving mature trees where possible. The ASRB voted unanimously in favor of approval (members present voting yes); staff will issue a decision letter with the conditions detailed in the staff report.
Next steps: The project will proceed to the next administrative steps under the conditions in the staff report and subject to the town’s formal review procedures.
