ADRB approves 541 Craig Road project with required early hedging for rear-yard privacy
Summary
The board approved construction of a new Contemporary Spanish-style residence at 541 Craig Road, conditioning approval on early planting of rear hedges (specified as 36-inch box) and neighbor input on hedge selection and heights.
Architect Eric Nyhus and landscape architect Meredith Farrar presented the proposed demolition of a 1955 ranch home and construction of a new Contemporary Spanish-style residence at 541 Craig Road on June 15. Neighbors registered concerns about rear-yard privacy and the loss of rear trees; one commenter asked for section cuts and clarity on grades to understand visibility impacts.
The board discussed plant selection and whether existing pittosporums would remain or be replaced by Toyons. Board member Breigh McCall moved to approve the project subject to standard conditions and a specific requirement that the line of hedges on plan L2 be planted at the start of the project, use 36-inch box units, and that a string study of various hedge heights be explored with neighbor feedback. The motion passed (Gill recused).
