FYI — REQUESTED CHANGES TO AN APPROVED DESIGN REVIEW
PROJECT AT 110 CLARENDON ROAD — ZONED R-1
History: On May 29, 2007, the Planning Commission approved, with conditions, an Amendment
to Design Review for changes to a previously approved new, two-story single family dwelling
with detached garage. They also requested that the applicant come back to the Planning
Commission with an FYI memo once requested changes have been made to t,�e already
installed garage door.
Summary: On June 26, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an application for design
review for a new two-story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage at 110 Clarendon
Road, zoned R-1. A building permit was issued and the project is nearing completion.
The applicant submitted a letter and photographs of the revised garage door, date stamped July
2, 2007, to meet the Planning Commissions Concerns. The applicant notes that larger
hardwa�re was installed on the door and the door was repainted. The design of the house and
the detached garage other than the changes discussed remains unchanged.
Planning staff would note that it was determined that the project could be reviewed by the
Commission as an FYI item because of the request made at the May 29, 2007, Planning
Commission regular action meeting. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study,
this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with
direction to the applicant.
