Design Review Board approves contemporary single‑family at 17 Park Place
Summary
Architects presented a contemporary yet contextual single‑family design for 17 Park Place and the board approved the project with favorable comment on materials and the small rear garage size.
The Design Review Board approved a new single‑family residence at 17 Park Place during its July 10 meeting.
Architect Matthew Herr described a contemporary design that addresses the corner lot with a wraparound porch and a reduced‑scale rear single‑bay garage. The board praised the proposal’s materials (fiber‑cement siding at the base, cedar/composite shingles above, aluminum‑clad windows), the porch orientation, and the smaller garage that reduces visual bulk at the rear.
Board members said the submission was well‑documented and ready to move forward. A motion to approve as submitted was seconded and the board voted to grant approval.
The approval clears the way for the applicant to pursue building permits and proceed with construction under the board’s usual conditions.
