Applicant's front-yard garage receives conceptual approval from Euclid Architectural Review Board
Summary
The Euclid ARB granted conceptual approval to begin foundation work for a proposed roughly 470-square-foot, 15-foot-tall garage at 94 East 24th Street while final materials and finishes return to the board for review. Staff recommended approval but urged a more architecturally defined garage door.
At its December meeting the Euclid Architectural Review Board gave conceptual approval for the design of a front-yard garage, allowing the applicant to begin foundation work while the board reviews final finishes.
The applicant, addressed in the meeting as "Mister Damaszewski," described his intent "to try to make it look as if it was there all along," and said he has worked on the project since 2021. Planning staff told the board the proposal is an approximately 470-square-foot, 15-foot-tall garage and noted the applicant received several area variances from the Planning & Zoning Commission on Dec. 9. "Staff recommends design approval of the proposed garage structure," staff said, while suggesting the board could ask for a more defined garage-door design.
Board members discussed three paths — immediate approval, postponement to resolve finishes, or conceptual approval that permits footing work to proceed. Staff supported conceptual approval so the applicant could start foundation work and the board could review final materials later. A member moved for conceptual approval; the transcript records the motion but does not record a formal roll-call vote or second. The applicant thanked the board and said he would revise plans and resubmit details for review.
Why it matters: The conceptual approval permits construction steps that affect excavations and footings. Members emphasized preserving the street-facing composition and asked for details on door paneling, trim and how the garage anchors to the sidewalk and foundation.
