Design board defers new two‑story home at 7041 SW 63rd Ct over tree‑mitigation and landscape inconsistencies
Summary
The board deferred a decision on a proposed two‑story single‑family house at 7041 SW 63rd Court after members flagged inconsistent tree‑disposition and landscape plans, specimen‑tree mitigation calculations, and survey questions; the board asked the applicant to recalculate mitigation and reconcile plans before staff processing.
The board deferred action on a new two‑story single‑family home proposed for 7041 Southwest 63rd Court after focused discussion on landscape documentation and tree mitigation. Staff noted the project had been deferred at a prior hearing for incomplete signed and sealed civil/landscape documents and that the resubmission reduced building height to comply with the 25‑foot limit. Applicant Amaya Romero explained the resubmission and changes and said the team corrected prior omissions (including frosted rather than clear garage glazing).
Several board members, led by landscape architect Mariano Corral, identified inconsistencies between the tree disposition plan and the landscape plan, questioned whether drain‑field locations would force removal of large oaks and whether replacement caliper calculations were correct, and said the front yard lacked adequate landscape buffering. Corral moved to defer, asking the applicant to recalculate mitigation, reconcile the survey and plan numbering, and address rear drain‑field impacts on tree roots; the motion to defer passed and staff will accept revised materials for administrative review.
