Commission approves addition and site plan for Buena Vista Avenue house with tree‑planting condition
Summary
The commission granted final site‑plan approval for a second‑floor addition and basement conversion at 7 Buena Vista Avenue, requiring an approximate eight‑tree replacement (one flowering tree in front yard) and guidance on siding and trim colors.
The Planning Commission granted final site‑plan approval for alterations and a second‑floor addition to a single‑family home at 7 Buena Vista Avenue. Brian, the applicant's representative, said the work will expand the home from about 1,300 square feet to roughly 2,100 square feet and convert the basement into habitable space.
Commissioners and staff reviewed required tree replacements (the file shows eight removed; the applicant proposed planting 10 and agreed to plant at least eight native or city‑approved trees with one ornamental/flowering tree in the front yard). The board advised modest adjustments to the siding and trim colors to give better contrast and required the applicant to provide final material samples to the planning director before permits are issued. The motion to approve final site plan passed by voice vote.
