Historic board continues review of proposed 7,800 sq ft home at 1130 South Lakeside Drive to June 10
Summary
The Historic Resources Preservation Board continued the certificate-of-appropriateness application for 1130 South Lakeside Drive to June 10, directing the applicant to reduce modern visual impact and address massing and site drainage concerns; staff also noted a zoning condition requiring removal of an extra stove shown on floor plans.
Anne Hamilton, presenting staff's analysis, outlined HRPB project 26-00100048 for a proposed single-family new construction at 1130 South Lakeside Drive and noted staff has conditioned approval on corrections to notations and on eliminating a second stove displayed on the floor plans to ensure single-family compliance. "So 1 of the conditions of approval, just based on zoning is that they must remove 1 of the stoves," Hamilton said as she reviewed the documents.
Applicant Wes Blackman and architect Jimena Sambicente described two design options and said they tried to limit overall massing and step the structure down on the sides. Neighbors testified at length about flooding, erosion from adjacent construction and the potential "canyon" effect of tall new homes; board members pressed staff and the applicant on how visual compatibility and FEMA base flood elevations interact. After discussion, the board voted to continue the item to the June 10 meeting at 6:00 p.m., directing the applicant to submit revised drawings that pull more design cues from contributing structures in the South Palm Park Historic District and to address massing and scale concerns before returning for a decision.
Why it matters: the continuation gives the applicant time to redesign elements that board members said would reduce the visual impact on a predominantly one-story neighborhood while the public record documented immediate neighborhood flooding concerns that members said should inform design review.
