Summary
Sutro Architects’ application to demolish a house and build a new two‑story residence with detached garage at 230 Wellington Avenue was approved 2–1 by the ADR with conditions to refine lower-level window design; members raised concerns about a 520 sq. ft. floor-area variance and potential basement-window conversions.
Sutro Architects presented a proposal to demolish an existing single‑family residence and build a new two‑story house with a detached two‑car garage at 230 Wellington Avenue (APN 072-121-29). The ADR debated a requested 520 square‑foot floor‑area variance and expressed concern that larger basement windows could enable future conversion to living space; members nevertheless approved the project 2–1 with conditions.
Minutes record neighbor Carla Buchanan expressing strong support for the project, citing improved aesthetics, safety and parking. The ADR required refinements to lower‑level window design for consistency and maintained support for the garage variance as previously debated. The minutes list the outcome as “Approved 2–1 with conditions.”
