Council approves design-review variances for two Allen Avenue properties
Summary
The council approved design-review and variance resolutions for 5 Allen Avenue (Res. 2615) and 3 Allen Lane (Res. 2614) after staff presentations noting ADR board support; there was no public opposition and both motions passed unanimously.
Planning staff (S9/Alex) described two homeowner proposals to renovate rear yards and construct pools and patios that required design-review approvals and variances. For 5 Allen Avenue, staff noted ADR's 3–0 support citing lot topography and existing privacy; the applicant's construction management plan indicated on-site parking for three vehicles and no street parking. Council moved and unanimously adopted Resolution 2615 approving design review and a variance.
For 3 Allen Lane, staff described ADR's recommendation to increase setbacks and identified plan revisions that reduced the pool length and increased side and rear setbacks; the construction management plan likewise specified three on-site parking spaces and no street parking. No public commenters were present for either item, and the council adopted Resolution 2614.
