Board proposes simpler site-plan guidance for single-family façade changes
Summary
Members recommended parcel-access snippets or Google Maps images and a limited set of adjacent-property photos to show context for residential façade changes so property owners need not hire surveyors.
Board members said single-family applicants often struggle to provide an appropriate site plan and recommended that simple parcel-access snippets or Google Maps/Earth images be acceptable. Speaker 2 noted this would avoid requiring applicants to hire surveyors and could include a small number of adjacent-property photos to show context.
"Parcel access, something showing the location, the site, and the, you know, surrounding properties," Speaker 2 said when discussing what would be sufficient for single-family applications. Speaker 3 suggested a clear numeric guideline such as photographing three adjacent properties in each direction to remove ambiguity.
