ARB legalizes enclosed porch at 48 Ridgeway Street pending building‑code confirmation
Summary
The ARB approved legalizing an already‑enclosed porch at 48 Ridgeway Street to create an insulated sunroom, subject to Building Department confirmation of code compliance and potential Zoning Board variances for fence replacement.
The board approved the aesthetic legalization of an enclosed porch at 48 Ridgeway Street, allowing the owner to formalize an insulated sunroom constructed prior to purchase. Kevin Munene, representing lead designer Shahin Badaly and owner Deidre Collins, explained the owner no longer wishes to replace the garage and instead intends to create parking space with landscaping; Commissioner Riley suggested ensuring vehicle turnaround space.
The ARB approved the submitted appearance, but specified the Building Department must confirm that the existing improvements conform with the building code. The minutes also note that any fence replacement would require variances from the Zoning Board. Commissioner Woods moved to approve and the motion passed 4‑0.
