Board clears two‑story house at 6255 SW 69th Street, urges guardrails for roots and landscape details
Summary
Design Review Board approved a two‑story replacement house at 6255 SW 69th Street with standard conditions and asked the applicant to include root barriers and consider structural soil to protect street trees and sidewalks.
Staff presented DRB-2024-034, a two‑story RS‑3 residence with proposed impervious coverage under the allowable maximum and required landscape compliance. Architect Mark Reardon summarized the design as a well‑scaled transitional house with warm materials and wood accents; staff reiterated the need for a tree removal permit consistent with the tree‑disposition schedule.
Board members commended the submission but urged protections for root systems and the use of root barriers or structural soil near sidewalks to prevent future sidewalk uplift. One member recommended thicker pool walls adjacent to specimen trees to limit damage from roots. The motion to approve with board and staff comments passed unanimously; follow‑up items include submission of required permits and finalization of the tree removal application.
