Commission approves revised ADU at 5 Champlin Street after height reduction and design changes
Summary
After revisions that lowered the roofline by more than two feet and removed a Juliet‑balcony trellis, the HDC approved the accessory dwelling unit plans for 5 Champlin Street; the commission also accepted architect Ross Khan as an expert witness.
The commission approved revised plans for an accessory dwelling unit at 5 Champlin Street following a presentation by applicant counsel and testimony from architect Ross Khan, who the commission accepted as an expert. Counsel said the applicant reduced the previously proposed roof height by over two feet and removed a trellis over a Juliet balcony; commissioners said the changes address earlier concerns about massing and compatibility with surrounding structures.
Architect Ross Khan explained design choices and described how the updated massing and window selections make the ADU more compatible with both the main house and neighboring properties. Commissioners voted to approve the revised plan set as submitted; the decision included acceptance of the design changes and the applicant’s supporting exhibit materials.
