Summary

Contractors described an 860‑square‑foot primary‑bedroom addition with radiant slab heating and a partial loft, saying the footprint is essentially flat despite a steep‑slope overlay; the board reviewed conditional‑use criteria and voted to close testimony.

Contractors Haley Malhar, managing partner, and Adam Wright, project manager at New List, presented a proposed addition to a single‑family house on Prosper Road, describing roughly 860 square feet of conditioned space with a partial loft "just over 1,000" referenced during the presentation. They said the addition will sit on an insulated slab with radiant heat and will include a high‑performance heat pump for cooling and heating.

The applicants told the board the actual building area is effectively flat despite GIS steep‑slope overlays and that they will reconstruct part of the existing rear deck. They said exterior lighting will be down‑left sconces that are dark‑sky compliant and that siding will be a dark brown to match the home. The applicants also confirmed they discussed bylaws with staff (Molly) and that the addition meets applicable zoning standards.

Board members reviewed conditional‑use criteria including capacity of community facilities, character of the area, traffic impacts and renewable energy use. The board moved and seconded to close testimony on the Prosper Road application and approved that motion by voice vote; staff will notify applicants about next steps.
