Planning Commission Approves Prebuilt Garden Shed at 795
Summary
The Glendale Planning and Historic Preservation Commission approved a prebuilt garden shed for Joseph Castrucci and Cheryl Webber at 795, noting the overhead door should be painted or altered to better match the house and the historic district context.
The Glendale Planning and Historic Preservation Commission voted to approve a prebuilt garden shed for the property at 795, an application filed in the names of Joseph Castrucci and Cheryl Webber.
Applicant Cheryl Webber told the commission the structure is intended as "additional storage" and that the unit "matches the architecture of the house," adding the couple plans to repaint the house so the shed will match. Commissioners questioned the white overhead door, describing it as "not very historic looking," and encouraged the applicants to paint it so it does not stand out. A staff member noted the shed will sit on a gravel pad and is not on a permanent foundation, reducing its street visibility.
After discussion about siting and materials, a commissioner moved to approve the application, and the commission voted to carry the motion. The commission’s approval included the verbal suggestion that the overhead door be painted or otherwise modified to blend with the house. Staff said they would assist the applicants with next steps and permitting.
The commission’s vote was recorded as "motion carries" in the meeting transcript; no additional conditions beyond the appearance suggestion were recorded. The applicants were advised to coordinate final details with planning staff before construction or installation.
