Euclid architecture board reviews Monterey Heights infill plan for 10 parcels
Summary
At a work session, the Euclid Architecture Review Board and developers discussed a 10-home infill proposal in the Monterey Heights subdivision, which was transferred from the city land bank to the Community Improvement Corporation; the board requested clearer corner-lot treatments and agreed to a follow-up working session before formal submission.
The Euclid Architecture Review Board held a work session to review a developer proposal for 10 infill parcels in the Monterey Heights subdivision. Chair Peter Marks opened the meeting saying the board would discuss how the new homes should relate to the existing neighborhood and to each other, and he introduced Patrick Rogan Myers to provide background on the project.
Patrick Rogan Myers said the properties had been city land-bank parcels transferred to the Community Improvement Corporation, which issued a request for proposals and selected a local development team; he added the project “is also likely to receive funding support from the county land bank to help bring the project to reality.” The area described in the meeting spans roughly between East 193rd and East 200th Streets and includes Monterey Avenue, Ormiston Avenue and Tyrone Avenue in the Monterey Heights subdivision.
Developers presented sample elevations, color schemes and massing studies for narrow lots and asked for board feedback before formal permitting. The board emphasized the importance of avoiding a “cookie-cutter” look across adjacent properties and asked the team to show how corner lots would be treated differently from infill lots that primarily present a single street-facing façade. Participants agreed on the need for additional refinements before a formal submission.
The board and development team agreed to schedule an interim working session to review color elevations and refined corner treatments; Patrick Rogan Myers said the expectation is to follow that work session with a formal submission to be considered for approval in January. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed unanimously.
