ARB signs off on Watermill home with 10-foot perimeter screenings required at install
Summary
Architect Michael Casey won approval for a 7-bedroom, 8-bath Watermill house at 166 Head of Pond Road; the board specified perimeter Green Giant plantings installed at approximately 10 feet and confirmed dark-sky-compliant lighting.
The Architecture Review Board approved plans for a 7-bedroom, 8-bath residence at 166 Head of Pond Road in Watermill with a condition that perimeter plantings be installed at approximately 10 feet in height.
Michael Casey, the project architect, described the design as a mix of natural cedar cladding and a zinc-coated copper roof that will patina over time. He said the plan includes a Green Giant evergreen hedgerow at the site perimeter and that all proposed lighting is dark-sky compliant and shielded.
Board members praised the plan’s siting and recommended specifying 10-foot plant material at installation to accelerate screening along the street. A motion to approve as submitted, noting the 10-foot perimeter vegetation requirement, carried after a second.
Casey said he would take the board’s planting-size recommendation into account and that the project team would provide the requested details to staff.
