Loading...
Summary
The West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for additions at 333 Greenwood Drive after the applicant withdrew a requested variance; the board added conditions on parapet barrel tile continuity and refinement of added column articulation.
The Historic Preservation Board voted to approve work at 333 Greenwood Drive after the applicant removed a previously requested setback variance. Architect Jeff Harris described the proposal as a stucco and wood‑frame residence with a porte‑cochere and a two‑story rear addition; he told the board the design had been reduced in scale to fit the site. Staff reported the parcel is a contributing resource in a context one block east of Dixie Highway and recommended approval with standard conditions.
Board members focused questions on details including parapet barrel‑tile coping and head clearance for the porte‑cochere. Commissioner Caleb Lauks and others recommended preserving existing barrel tile on the historic portions and repairing where necessary; the applicant agreed to retain barrel tile on the existing structure and offered to add it on the new addition if the board felt strongly.
On a motion citing the staff report and the evidence before the board, members voted to approve the certificate of appropriateness with the three staff conditions plus two board additions: keep the existing parapet barrel tile as currently expressed and work with staff to further articulate the new posts/columns. The motion carried by voice vote; the record shows unanimous assent and no roll‑call nay votes were recorded in the transcript.
