Architectural Board approves multiple exterior projects, approves one variance support
Summary
On June 2, the Board approved final or preliminary plans for several property projects (Norton, Baker, Scully, Kafarakis, Torrey) and supported a variance request for an accessory structure at 82 North Main; votes were unanimous in favor on most items.
The Village of Chagrin Falls Architectural Board of Review approved a slate of exterior alteration projects and a variance support motion at its June 2 meeting.
Windows: Greg Filler of Pella Windows presented a window-replacement plan for 130 North Main that would replace historic wood windows with fiberglass casement units. The Board required street-facing elevations to retain a 6-over-1 double-hung appearance and approved full-view casements on the rear elevation to preserve an unobstructed back-yard view. The Board discussed using a single exterior horizontal SDL bar on street-facing casement units to mimic double-hung sightlines and approved the plan (motion passed by roll call).
Other approvals: The Board received and approved a preliminary plan for 178 North Street presented by architect Becky Pantuso, finding the proposal a sensitive, moderate intervention relative to a prior addition. The Scully project at 129 Walnut Street—presentation by architect Ann Dunning and homeowners Troy and Michelle Scully—to demolish and rebuild an attached garage and add a sunroom and rear porch was granted final approval after the applicants addressed prior revision requests on roofline and dormers. A field change for 66 Hall Street (reducing windows on one elevation and adjusting placements) was approved as a minor change. A final approval was granted for a third-floor addition at 210 East Washington after dormer adjustments.
Accessory structure variance: For an accessory structure at 82 North Main, architect Josh Cunningham sought a zero-side-setback variance to match an existing condition in a narrow rear alley. The Board supported the variance and approved the preliminary plans, citing alley constraints and the need to maintain vehicular access. The roll call showed support with two abstentions recorded on the motion.
Each approval was recorded by roll call; applicants were instructed to file permit materials and any final details required for building permits.
