Board approves Warren Avenue duplex plan under middle-housing standards
Summary
The board approved a two-story side-by-side duplex on Warren Avenue (40 ft x 37 ft) with conditions to depict foundation height, specify porch pilasters and posts, and either retain a healthy rear tree or replace it; staff warned that major foundation-height changes must return to the board.
The Downtown Design Review Board approved a middle-housing duplex proposed for Warren Avenue subject to standard middle-housing conditions, including detailed final elevations and foundation-height documentation.
Staff described the duplex as a two-story, side-by-side building measuring roughly 40 feet wide by 37 feet deep with a 22-foot front setback and alley-accessed parking. Staff recommended several conditions: final site plan meeting engineering standards, foundation-height depiction on final elevations, porch pilaster dimensions and nonmetal porch posts of a minimum size, and retention or replacement of a healthy rear tree if viable. Board members discussed porch screening, brick piers under porch columns and alignment of windows and porches; the applicant (Jesse Alikhan) agreed to make alignment revisions and provide the requested details. The board approved the certificate with the staff-recommended conditions; major changes to foundation height will require return to the board.
